Class discussion today is on the use of music to create and enhance the gaming environment.
It made me think about how different genres have utilized music in games. Some excellent innovations, imho, have been BFVietNam's 60's soundtrack, Blizzard using full orchestration and the creation of the new genre that is Music Simulation.
However, with four teens in my house all of which play Guitar Hero and Rock Band, can I interest them in actual instruments and creating real music? Nope. This really chaps my hide as I look at the recent guitar purchases that sit in cases or on stands, unused.
Grrrrrrr........
