June 27, 2005 - You may remember when the music video channel (which it once was) started to make movies (Election, Pootie Tang). Now, MTV is taking a similar step into world of video games. The company announced Monday the creation of MTV Games, an organization for developing, publishing, marketing, and incubating original game properties.


MTV Games will work both with in-house titles as well as in partnership with established players and up-and-coming studios. The company hopes to create and nourish games which fit its hip young audience.

"In 1996 we launched MTV Films with the hopes of discovering some risky and bold stories to tell. Nine years later, I'm ecstatic about what we have accomplished, and today we launch MTV Games with a similar objective -- incubating breakthrough gaming concepts that embrace creative risk-taking, and push the boundaries of interactive entertainment," said Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks Music/Logo/Films Group.

As part of MTV's gaming gambit, the company has partnered with Midway Games to provide in-game advertising, soundtracks, and promotion for at least three upcoming titles -- beginning with L.A. Rush, which include design from MTV's "Pimp My Ride" crew.

MTV isn't announcing any original titles yet, but we expect to hear more from the new Games group soon. Keep your eager minds here.
