MTV Video Games | Looking Back

[@MediaPastimes]

Socials: Discord 💬 discord.gg/tc5DTeM3yS Instagram 📷 instagram.com/mediapastimes/ Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed this overview of three MTV games from the 2000s era. I'll be doing a follow-up with three completely different MTV games in the future, I had a lot of fun throwing this video together.

Woah bro, L.A Rush lol I haven't thought about it in years dude.

[@TheGr8tPlays]

I still got Celebrity Deathmatch for PS2 till this day🙌🏾playable and all

[@tentoe5431]

I don’t agree with his take on the game being an abomination. As a kid in those times, the game had enough content to have me and my brothers laughing and gaming all day switching from this to gta SA and the warriors. Ahh the good ol days 🫠

It's really funny how if you watch the behind the scene's on Jackass the game you can see how Steve O is so high. Years later Steve O says he can't even remember shooting stuff for it that's how close he was from rock bottom at the time

[@MediaPastimes]

You could tell, too. His voice was so shot, glad he’s doing so well these days!

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

@@MediaPastimes I’m happy that he’s doing well but he’s certainly become more of an attention whore (his own words) and is doing a lot of dumber and dumber publicity stunts like last week he’s like “Dude I got a plan to get a plastic surgeon give me breast implants” and I’m like “Why?”

[@SAVANTI711]

5:20 LA Rush is a goddamn hidden gem. Such a great game and the soundtrack was unreal also the PSP version slaps.

[@klutzybee316]

I had LA Rush on Xbox and psp such a fun game

[@PinkiePie762]

I still have it for ps2 with bonus CD and also have psp one too

[@ElijahBare13]

Right its one of my all time favorites

[@johnchristopher32]

Glad to see Jackass the game getting some love, it gets alot of crap but I had so much fun with it. I always wished the ps2 version had that feature that the psp version had where you could make your own episode.

Celebrity deathmatch, jackass the game, pimp my ride were so awesome playing as a kid. Especially pimp my ride, I'd play that for hours on the ps2. Damn, I forgot all about rush. I loved that game as a kid 😭

[@MediaPastimes]

Project 8 is a way better game anyway, even with it's gimmicky ass "nail the trick" feature.

[@charlessnortley4519]

I miss blockbuster getting to demo games for a week. Before buying me an my brother Brandon had so many fun times with random games an I prolly forgot a ton. But this time of our Era is nostalgic as hell. Makes me miss those days carefree my auntie an uncle treating me as there own.

[@blvckno_1]

Tbh MTV was awesome this era because of the happy medium of music videos at the beginning/end of the day along with the other content on the channel

[@MediaPastimes]

I couldn't agree more. MTV2's morning music video block was always more my thing because they played a lot more alternative rock/pop punk in those days, but it's cool that they actually still played music on each network. Now there's just MTV classic, if I'm not mistaken.

[@raritymademydress]

I remember buying pimp my ride at game crazy for 20 bucks as a kid I even traded games in for it. I played for 15 mins and was so mad but then I got the jackass game for 30 and had a ton of fun

[@MediaPastimes]

First to catch that, one of my all-time favorites 🤙

[@shawnbrucker1697]

just found your channel from the Pimp My Ride video popping up on my homepage! quality stuff man you've got a sub! I somehow never knew the Jackass game existed and I kind of want to track it down. I had a bunch of Bargain Bin games back then so I definitely played some LA Rush and Celebrity Death March. I enjoyed LA Rush but didn't play it super often due to my obsession with Midnight Club III and Need for Speed Most Wanted. solid game though. deathmatch was terrible but mildly entertaining for a few hours before collecting dust

[@itzk33zy54]

Celebrity DeathMatch was actually funn in my PS2 days, Miss playing it with my brothers!

[@MediaPastimes]

It was a good multiplayer game, but the computer players sucked!

[@PinkiePie762]

I still have it on original Xbox it’s hidden gen game

[@YakkoWarnerTower]

I honestly don't remember having any of these games in this vid lol. I bearly knew a Jackass, Celebrity Deathmatch and etc games existed. But I heard about that Beavis and Butt Head game in a AVGN vid and I actually remember LA Rush back in High School.

[@whitto6546]

Honestly, I loved la rush as a kid. I played so many hours of that game on the original xbox. im pretty sure I still remember the glitches too.

[@Zc-eu4vi]

Jackass the game was fun as hell!

[@tonycoffee7335]

I mostly play car games, I remember renting pimp my ride back in the day. I played it for maybe 30mins and then turned it off for the rest of the weekend. Lol

[@Sonicfalcon16]

Jackass the game also one of the few ps2 games you can play in hd on the ps2.

LA rush was my childhood favorite game!

[@MediaPastimes]

I wish I had given it a chance as a kid (just never rented it or found it at any gamestop stores I guess), it looks good!

[@DavidBrocekArt]

I find it amusing how marketing managers in the earlier days of video games always were like "People want to play games that have celebrity faces in them".

[@MediaPastimes]

It seems to be a cyclical trend, but nowadays celebrities actually act in the games and provide more than just their dumb face.

[@Narcolepsykid]

I used to watch celebrity death match all the time. I had the game for ps2. It sucked... they could remake it any time!

[@darianthescorpion1132]

I loved LA Rush back in the day. I’ve been hunting down an original copy for a bit now.

A buddy of mine bought Celebrity Death Match and for the price, if you were a fan of the show, it was a pretty fun way to spend 25 minutes because that's about how long it takes before you've seen everything the game has to offer. I had no idea there was a Jackass game 😭!!

i remember falling asleep to MTV when i was younger. around midnight they'd start playing music videos and id leave it on that channel and go to sleep. nothing like having a network called "music television" and yet you no longer have anything to do with music lol. to be fair though mtv introduced me to a lot of cool shows so im not that mad at them. im more-so disappointed in them. i remember in 6th grade i ended an english paper with "good fight, good night" lmao i watched death match so much. i still have my ps2 from my 14th birthday and it still works. im gunna cry when it stops working. i played halo 3 soo much omg. only thing is i only ever got to a triple kill and nothing more cuz i kinda suck at the game. i mean my fav gun is the needler so that should tell you how shit i am lol

I played the Celeb Deatmatch one and initially liked it but it did get stale fast. The Jackass one was fun, but I remember being confused as to why they decided to release it on the PS2 at the time. Me and my friends had to go dig our PS2s out from retirement for it lol. The Pimp My Ride ones I never played and it looks like I didn’t miss anything.

Yeah I really don't understand why they didn't drop Jackass onto PS3/360/PC, they could have sold way more copies.

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

Xzibit is 1 of the best rappers of all time, lyrically during his prime he was arguably the best, and of course he was a Dre/Snoop protege and had amazing Dre beats on his shit. I'd put him above Kendrick Lamar or Kanye or Drake or any of those silly modern rappers like Macklemore and Chance the Rapper. He's MILES above them, he's 1 of the true greats in an era where the music mattered, not just throwing together some sing-rap with autotunes to sell to teens and young adults. With that said, Pimp my Ride made a lot of people underrate him, view him as hollywood, or not a real OG.. when he'd already had several of the best rap albums ever by the time that show started.
