World Series of Video Games - Quick Links
I just wanted to post some quick links on the World Series of Video Games, which aired for the first time on an American network this last Sunday.
From the article:
Not coincidentally, the other two games in tomorrow’s broadcast most resemble a music video (Guitar Hero II) and a boxing match (Fight Night Round 3). What will not be seen are violent shooting games like Halo and Quake; CBS was adamant that on a Sunday afternoon on broadcast television, only relatively tame games would suffice.
While representatives for the other major broadcast networks said they had no plans to cover video games as a sporting event, CBS is planning to broadcast at least two more video game programs this year.
The rest of the New York Times’ coverage of the event can be found [here] for the time being, though they have been known to charge for older articles.
If you know where to find CBS’ Youtube/video footage from the WSVG which took place about a month ago in Louisville, KY, then please let me know. =P
Ah, representin’ the ‘ville…. I coulda been a contenda’.
So, on Sunday afternoons, a rousing match of Quake or Halo is bad for the kiddies, but we can air Commando right? Right?? The kids love Arnie!
Yeah! That’ll help ‘em let out some steam!
Then some Predator so that they stick around!
