MTV honors game music

"Best Video Game Score" added to this year's MTV Video Music Awards alongside "Best Video Game Soundtrack."

MTV released its nominees for the 2006 Video Music Awards, and it seems the night will see Hitman's Agent 47 and Electroplankton's...things...rubbing "elbows" with the likes of Shakira and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This year, MTV is honoring games in two VMA categories: "Best Video Game Score" and "Best Video Game Soundtrack," the former of which is new this year. At last year's awards, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme took home the soundtrack award.

MTV will air the VMAs live on August 31. The announced nominees for both categories are listed below:

Best Video Game Score:
Dreamfall: The Longest Jounrey (Even "Magnet" Johansen)
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Jeremy Soule)
Electroplankton (user-generated)
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Tom Salta)
Hitman: Blood Money (Jesper Kyd)

Best Video Game Soundtrack:
Burnout Revenge (Electronic Arts)
Driver: Parallel Lines (Atari)
Fight Night Round 3 (Electronic Arts)
Mark Ecko's Getting Up (Atari)
NBA 2K6 (2K Games)

    Game Score has got to be Ghost Recon, Best soundtrac is probally Burnout. But thats just my opinion, i could be wrong.

    It's about time they started getting their due. Our pop culture has been filled with video game music for almost two decades now. The most recent example that comes to mind is the goofy theme from Space Colony playing in a beer commercial.

    I couldn't care about MTV. It sucks since the 80's.

    Then they tried to make MTV2. Which was like MTV used to be, now its gone downhill too.

    i have never and will never expect anything good from MTV, and I dont think that they deserve any more argument from us proud and noble fans of games and music.

    The problem with MTV is that they choose the "best" based upon pop culture majorities. For example, NBA 2K6 is played by many many more people then, say, Homeworld, while anyone with an ear for music would choose Homeworld as the best of the two.

    While i understand homeworld isnt eligable 'cause its "old," my point still stands. MTV chooses based on what keeps it in business, not what may truely be the best.

    For those that remember, MTV had 1 good video. It's first (Video killed the Radio Star). Since then, it has only gone down hill. Ol' Jack Black was right...

    No one expects actual, physical music from MTV no more. They have no purpose in life other than to suck. Oh, and also squeeze out Pimp My Ride. That might be the whole network's only gem in a big black puddle of **** that is everything else.

    You're kidding. No Guitar Hero? What, was is not mainstream and girly enough for MTV?
