We love Video Games Live. In fact, we were just talking about the VGL and its incredible co-creator Tommy Tallarico on the latest episode of Geekscape Games!
I was lucky enough to experience a Video Games Live performance back in April of 2011, and since then I’ve been eagerly awaiting for VGL to return somewhere near me, as it to this day remains one of the most mind-blowing musical experiences that I’ve ever been a part of, and I would really, really, really love to experience it again (and I missed it at SDCC… bah).
My iTunes library is filled with frequently-on-repeat Video Games Live content, and as such I’m beyond excited for the currently-in-crowdfunding Level 4 album to finally be released.
The Kickstarter is already over its funding goal with just three days left to contribute, but Tommy and co. have set up some stretch goals to bring us even more content, and if it can get enough funds, another full length concert video (who wouldn’t want that?). Video Games Live: Level 4 is set to be a studio recorded album, and being able to relive another concert would just be icing on the cake. Check out the Kickstarter video for the campaign below, and keep reading to learn how you could win an AMAZING VGL price pack.
So, you want to hear about what you could win, huh? Well, one lucky reader is set to win a HUGE digital Video Games Live prize pack. Here’s what it includes:
