Rock 'n' Roll In Western Games: Interview with Robert Anthony Navarro

Original rock music in games? While this is a common practice in Japan, where rock music is a favorite of Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu, the rock tradition that was birthed in the United States is still weak in the realm of games. Composer Robert Anthony Navarro intends to change that, and has had some success working on a number of titles in the West. Navarro has interesting things to say about why rock music hasn't caught on in the West, and where he thinks the place of rock music is in games.
