Expanding the boundaries of music and video, MTV2, the 24-hour music network, announced the premiere of a one-of-a-kind new series, “Video Mods” on Saturday, September 18th at 9:30pm ET/ 6:30pm PT. Morphing music videos and video games into an entirely new music viewing experience, each half-hour episode of MTV2 “Video Mods” will showcase some of today’s most popular video game characters and environments as they perform videos by artists of all genres including Lil Jon, Black Eyed Peas, Evanescence, New Found Glory and more. “Video Mods” will air every other Saturday beginning September 18th at 9:30pm ET/ 6:30pm PT only on MTV2.
In the first episode, MTV2’s “Video Mods” showcased Lil Jon’s hit music video “Get Low” recreated by the video game Fight Club; Evanescence’s “Everybody’s Fool” recreated by BloodRayne 2; the Fountains of Wayne’s hit “Stacey’s Mom” featuring the Sims 2; and the Von Bondies video “Cmon Cmon” recreated by Tribes: Vengeance. In upcoming episodes, MTV2 “Video Mods” will also present videos by the Black Eyed Peas, New Found Glory, The Darkness, Christina Milian, Ying Yang Twins and The Vines. Each video will be transformed, sometimes literally, sometimes with a completely new creative concept, by adapting the music video using a unique video game environment and featuring characters from one, or often a variety of video games. Additional games featured in upcoming episodes include SSX 3, Outlaw Golf 2, Jade Empire, Fight Night and Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

Looks like video games are the new push for the MTV programming bosses, guess they've finally caught up with the power of Xbox :-)

I like this stuff. I'm glad to see the art of Machinma or whatever it's called is becoming so popular. Maybe some of the developers off some of the best games will see what the users gan do with it. And the developers of the lower games can maybe learn something from the users. In any case, pretty cool.

If MTV was serious about getting into the video games they would promote this game on MTV a lot and I have not seen one commercial or shred of marketing but here on some xbox sites.
