G4 And Gamespot Team Up

Kyle Orland (the video game ombudsman) has a new site, VGM Watch, and today he has commentary and and interview on a team up between G4TV and Gamespot. Given the tone of the interview, there will be more collaboration between the two businesses in the future. From the article: "Usually, the worlds of online games journalism and televised games journalism remain relatively competitive. Sure, an online outlet may report on the latest televised game awards show and members of the online media may sometimes appear on TV, but usually the two media are competing for the same eyeballs, rather than collaborating to create joint content. That changed this week, though, when GameSpot and G4 teamed up to produce four half-hour episodes of Cinematech (the shows premiered over the past two days, but this is G4, so there will be at least 50 repeats in the next week). I talked to Gamespot's Greg Kasavin about the G4 collaboration, the differences between TV and the Web, and the future of putting video into video game journalism."
