Earlier this year, Christopher Tin won 
the first Grammy award for a song featured in a video game. Now the floodgates may be about to open.
The Recording Academy has announced a restructuring of its awards that will put games on equal footing with film and television for the first time.
Video games have been making headway in the pop 
culture world for a while now, but they made history Sunday night when Civilization IV became the industry’s first title to win a Grammy Award.
Christopher Tin won the award for “Baba Yetu,” the game’s haunting opening theme, in the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists category. Tin also won the Grammy for Best Classical Crossover Album for his debut CD, Calling All Dawns, which featured “Baba Yetu.”
