CVG: Richard Branson's new gaming venture gets a name and logo.
A look at various product tie-in themed games from Pepsi Invaders on the Atari 2600 in the early 80s to more recent titles like Sneak King for the Xbox 360.
I love Sneak King, I think I even got most of the achievements for it.
Aspiring game developers have the chance to design and publish a mobile video game if they take part and win Virgin Media’s 100 day game project.
Virgin Gaming is teaming up with the world’s biggest video game retailer, GameStop, to create online video game tournaments.
The partnership makes Virgin Gaming the preferred online tournament provider for games sold in thousands of U.S. GameStop locations and through GameStop.com. The deal is the first sign that billionaire Richard Branson’s move into gaming with the Virgin Gaming business is getting some traction. If it succeeds, then another big media giant will have a foothold in the increasingly successful video game industry. That means that games matter in the larger entertainment and media market.
I thought most gamers were Virgins?
laid gaming sounds better
From what I hear, they are going after the booming digital distribution market. Steam has that pretty much locked up at the moment, so I'm interested to see what Virgin has in mind, competition is always a good thing.
Wow thats the most mundane name I have ever heard and the logo is even worse.
Guys please be mature about this, seriously...
