Paul McCartney composing music for video game

London, Jan 31 (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney is trying to reach a new generation of fans by writing music for a video game.

The Beatles legend admits that he jumped at the chance to compose tracks for the project as he's convinced computer games now sell more quickly than traditional albums.

"It's a fascinating market. A new computer game sells so much better than a new CD these days. Young people will hear my music for the first time in a game," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

It's not Sir Paul's first foray into the world of gaming - he and his former Fab Four bandmate Ringo Starr had earlier come together to launch The Beatles: Rock Band game in 2010. (ANI)
