Finally, its happened. A Video game is finally getting recoginition outside of the Spike VGA's.
Sid Meier's Civilization IV has won the Grammy for "Best Instumental Arangement Accompanying Vocals" for Christopher Tin "Baba Yetu" song from the game.

Tin attributes the success of Baba Yetu to video game concert, Video Games Live, coordinated and performed by acclaimed composer Jack Wall and CEO Tommy Tallarico.

The fact that this song has had a life outside of the game is owed almost entirely to Video Games Live. They were the first to bring this music to concert stages around the world and to places I had never dreamed possible

Baba Yetu has been performed at the Video game Concert since 2006 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Its not that good of a song, and quiet franqually, I dont even consider a Grammy an award. Everyone has one...'
Just pointing out the fact that Video games can win in any situation
