Paul McCartney Writing Music For Video Game

Macca told a Germany interviewer his work on a game project.

Sir Paul McCartney is known for such classic hit songs as "Hey Jude", "My Love" and "No More Lonely Nights", as well as being a member of Wings and, of course, The Beatles. The legendary recording artist has now told an interviewer for Germany's Die Zeit that he is working on music for a video game. And no, its not The Beatles: Rock Band 2.

The interviewer asked if McCartney would consider writing music for a video game. He responded by saying that he's already working on it. He went on to say that he finds the video game market fascinating and was excited by the opportunity to work on a game project. He notes that when he was little, radio and records were the only way music was available, unlike today.

He feels that writing music for a game could be the first time his music is heard by a new generation. "A new computer game is selling these days so much better than a new CD. And you reach a different audience." McCartney said. Thanks to Joystiq for the translation.

I know he's writing new music but if I get to slay a dragon while Helter Skelter is playing, I will lose my shit!

In Memory of Michael Alvarado

When 1up started the process of shutting down, there was one person who seemed to lead to charge to congregate the community in a single place. After his first visit here, it wasn't long before a slew of new members arrived. The site came alive and the real story of PixlBit began - the one that involves all of you. The person I'm referring to is, of course, Michael Alvarado, otherwise known as Michael117.
