MTV Nominates Game Tracks, Misses Point

1up.com is reporting that MTV's Video Music Awards has a 'Best Video Game Soundtrack' in the mix this year. However, as usual, MTV misses the point. From the article: "Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, Madden NFL 2005, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, Def Jam Fight for NY, and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 have all been nominated. Unsurprisingly, the reason these games have been nominated isn't because they feature charming, interesting, moving symphonic scores." Good job for highlighting more cookie cutter Top 40's crap, MTV. Way to go.

  1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? by Ki+Master+George · · Score: 3, Funny
    Why wasn't GTA:SA nominated? It has lots of fun stuff on the radio--suprisingly for a video game, it actually got quite a few good song to put on the rock stations. It's fun listening to the hillbillies on the country stations, too....

    And after all, I'd think that MTV would like sex mini-games.
