CAPCOM SIGNS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA COMPOSER TO CREATE THE SCORE FOR DARK VOID

Bear McCreary, known for his composition for Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, creates soundtrack for Capcom's upcoming action-shooter

April 2, 2009-Capcom announced today that composer Bear McCreary, known best for his work on popular sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica, has signed on to score Capcom's highly-anticipated third-person action game, Dark Void. He has gained international renown over the last few years for his amazing work on Battlestar, and Dark Void marks the first time McCreary will be creating the score for a video game.

"When I got the call from Capcom to work on the music for Dark Void, I jumped at the chance to do it, considering my love for Capcom games." said McCreary. "I have been looking for the opportunity to compose a game score for a long time, but I've been waiting for the right one. Dark Void's epic story and unique gameplay drew me in immediately and I have had a lot of fun working on the project."

Dark Void , Capcom's upcoming third person action-shooter, is set to launch on Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Windows PCs this year. Developed by Airtight Studios and Capcom, Dark Void combines run-and-gun combat with the thrill of soaring jetpack action in the skies.

THE VERDICT by Travis Moses Travis Moses's Avatar

I don't know much about the sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica, but GamePro senior editor Sid Shuman does. He watched the show religiously up through last month's series finale. I remember my Battlestar Galactica encounter was with Sid, and I recall him blathering on about mysterious cybernetic Cylons at war with humanity, he's the general, and she's the president. As he continued to gab on I zoned out on Tricia Helfer, the impressive outer-space visual effects, and the ominous dark tones of the musical score.

With that said, mixing Battlestar Galactica's music composer, Bear McCreary, with Dark Void's soaring action and high-intensity alien shootouts seems like the perfect blend.
