MTV Games Launches
Via Kotaku, the news that MTV Games has launched. The site already has a few features up, including a (juvenile) look at the next Tomb Raider title. At the moment, the site appears to be almost entirely a rebranding of Gamespot content, right down to the news feed.
This is great, maybe I can download videos of BloodRayne singing my favorite Goth/EmoMetal songs. Or Backyard Wrestling characters lipsynching to [mallpunk band of the week].
Video Mods is the worst idea I've ever heard.
Huh? Cable channels are still based around topics.
MTV = Teen junk channel
VH1 = Celebrity clip show channel
Discovery = Motorcycle channel
TLC = Home Improvement Channel
G4 = Crap channel
TBS = Sitcom channel
TNT = "The same movie 5 times in a row" channel
SpikeTV = The "where syndicated shows go to die" channel
Sure they all need a bit of renaming...
Fox = News channel
