It looks like some extra goodies are being included with the South Park Season 11 DVD set. Not only do you get great episodes such as "Cartman Sucks", "More Crap" and the immortal "Imaginationland" story arc (I pray the season DVD includes the full commentary of the "Imaginationland" one), but the DVD also includes a 3-song download for the XBox version of the video game Rock Band.
This marketing move makes sense on a couple of levels. First, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are big gamers so they probably got some cool stuff that other gamers only wish they had access to. They even confess their hobby on one of their DVD mini-commentaries. Second, the season includes the episode "Guitar Queer-o", which uses the predecessor game Guitar Hero as central to the plot.

As
first reported in May 2006,
Lost is getting the video game treatment. The game, titled "Lost: Via Domus" and produced by Montreal-based
Ubisoft, will not be a reproduction of the survivors' adventures. Instead, the game will add a new chapter to the series.
Nicolas Eypert, who was part of the creation team of the game, revealed in
interview with a French-Canadian newspaper that the game will be a complementary experience that adds to the episodes, blogs, forums, and magazines about the series. The storyline crosses paths with the action that occurred during the first two seasons of the series.

Wear Chanel. Go to Harbor. Drive a Land Cruiser. Make an ass of yourself at a charity function. That's what they do in
The O.C. and soon you can do it too, in a video game. Gameloft, the makers of Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest, is currently laboring over a game based on the FOX teen soap. It's a Sims-style game where you can wander around real
O.C. locations and work on your tan or your muscles. Looks are apparently very important in the storyline of the game. You can choose to be any of the lead characters, Ryan, Marissa, Summer or Seth, or you can create your own character to shake things up in their McMansions.
What I want to know is: Can you punch somebody or get high? It just wouldn't be
The O.C. without a fight or someone overdosing on drugs.

Right now there are no real plans, but execs at Spike TV said recently that they may create a show
that would be, according to
Variety, "a sort of live-action take on the video game Grand Theft
Auto." Whether this means the show would be based on Grand Theft Auto or just use similar elements from the video
game is unknown. In fact, pretty much everything about this is unknown since the idea is just that, an idea. Still, if
anyone were going to attempt this, it might as well be Spike TV, since a show based on the violent and graphic video
game I used to watch my roommate play for hours on end would be right at home on that network.

It seems we've been seeing a lot of former Wonder Woman Lynda Carter as of late. She appeared in The Dukes of Hazzard movie, had words for Cooter, and now she's lending her voice to the new Xbox game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Patrick Stewart will also offer his voice services. Carter isn't new to this world, however. She also voiced a character for the previous Elder Scrolls installment, Morrowind. All my nerdy TV memories are coming back in video game form. Tis crazy.
