Showtime Networks to offer video games

**PXG** · 01-04-2007, 03:44 PM

Showtime Networks Inc. is branching out into the video game industry with a joint venture to offer games to high-speed Internet service providers.

The CBS Corp.-owned cable channel behind such shows as "Weeds" and "The L Word" is joining with game publisher Broadband Libraries LLC to form "On Broadband." The new company will offer a private label game service for cable TV companies and DSL broadband providers.

The service, expected to launch in the second quarter of this year, will offer a collection of games that can be downloaded or played online. Some offerings will be free and some available for purchase. A subscription option will also be available.

Game-related content, including reviews, cheats and tricks will also be offered, the companies said.

Hmm well maybe not, in the forum it still shows thumbs down, but in your first post it shows the question. Oh well.

just what we need a lesbian weed smoking game. Wish companies would do what their know best for and not try to invade into something else they have idea what their doing. Cough MTV cough.

On a serous side wonder what games be. retro games, new IP's or what.
