MTV Nominates Game Tracks, Misses Point

Posted by Zonk on from the feh dept.

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. Top 40 crap by 77Punker · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sure, most of that is boring standard MTV fare. However, some of the songs on the Tony Hawk games are incredibly obscure, although the latest version doesn't include anything that's all that hard to find. Go looking at any top 40 and see if Dead Boys or the Germs ever had a single hit song.
