Well, some of you may have heard that MTV is creating two new game music categories at this year's Video Music Awards. One for best score, and one for best soundtrack. If you ask me, MTV doesn't know anything about game music, and they should stay out of this. Anyway, that's how I feel. At least Jeremy Soule is nominated for Oblivion. You can read more about it here.

First, you are right... MTV knows nothing about video games except for the soundtracks which is really just a compliation of the popular tunes. Just go get any of the EA Sports games... they just play pop/rock/rap tunes. And haven't played any of the games listed... so, i wont vote But if you ask me, the BEST game scores will always be the ones that give you the epic motion picture feel. You know, the ones that make you say "what? what's actually a video game music and not a movie?"

Hey, MTV isn't a person - it's a TV channel! They can easily hire people who know stuff about video games.

I think MTV doesn't know anything about music in the first place

MTV doens't know anything about games or game related stuff, they should stick to movies and normal music.

Well, the thing about MTV knowing anything about game music is that MTV doesn't know dick about non-game music, either. At least not in the realms of quality.

Yeah, more death metal on MTV, or should I say - only death metal on MTV!

MTV sucks. That's all I will say about this matter. Agreed.

Ah, man! There's no good nominees for the video game awards. I would've voted for Ys.
But yeah, I don't have much confidence in MTV either. Their music simply does not appeal to me.

all mtv know is top40 and whatever is popular... they wont bother with actual TALENTED people. I mean, have you seen that Paris Hilton song and video? HOLY SHT! I wanted to kill her when I saw THAT. Her Simple Life thing was funny but I only saw like 5min of it because I couldn't stand her stupidity. THEENNN seeing that music video... it officially marked and stamped "I am Stupid" on her forehead. I just had to get that out. lol A good music to a game is NOT a complication of popular tunes a la EA Sports but it should be tunes that you'd be singing AFTER playing. Thanks goodness for Ys... I can hum that tune in my head and I haven't played Ys for almost half a year :S But at least the tune is in my head

I hate Paris Hilton so much. It ruined TV (yes - "it", I refuse to refer to it as a human being).

Paris Hilton has a video?? I didn't even know she could sing......then again, what passes for singing for some, may not pass as singing for others

I've never seen it, but I know where that link probably goes, and I will not go there.

TV was ruined far before Paris Hilton. =(
MTV was doomed from the start, as it began as mainstream music more or less started to die.
