I love video games. When I was a little girl, I named a hamster Zelda because of my love for “The Legend of Zelda.” I’ve been known to go on video game binges. The latest is Claustrophobia for the iPhone. I’ll play a game every spare second I get for a few days or a weeks, then move onto something else. Earlier this year I was obsessed with Rock Band and then Grand Theft Auto IV. I already told you about the time I went on a Guitar Hero binge.

That’s why I’m so excited about the upcoming video game symphony scheduled Saturday night at Koka Booth Amphitheater at Regency Park. The concert will be performed by the North Carolina Symphony and the Concert Singers of Cary. It will feature music from Sonic the Hedgehog, Legends of Zelda, Sim City 4 and more.

Best of all, there will be graphics from the games on big screens above the orchestra to accompany the music. Here’s a preview that was submitted to MyNC.

Now the sad part … I already have unbreakable plans on Saturday night, so I can’t go. But don’t let that stop you from checking this out and telling me how awesome it is. Tickets range from $25 to $30. The show starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 11, at Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary.
