A BIZZARE concept is about to hit London.
The Philharmonia Orchestra accompanied by the London Chorus choir is going to perform the backing tracks taken from leading computer games.
The vent has been labelled Video Games Live and coincides with the opening of the London Games festival.
The INQ could understand somebody wanting to hear the score from Halo 3, perhaps, but Space Invaders and Pong? It appears to us to be a cunning ploy to hype up Xbox 360 titles before Christmas.
The event is being held at the Royal Festival Hall and is described as "an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience." Wasn't that the same venue where the Mageek famously booed an Apricot sponsored event?
Anyway, if you're at a real loose end on 22nd October 2007, you'd better get yourself a ticket. There will, of course, be the chance to see and play games before and after the music has kicked off. And you can get to meet Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall
Prices range from£19.50 to £32.50 and are available from the South Bank box office.
