VH1.com has launched a new channel, VH1 Games, which features both original VH1-branded games and classic arcade games.
The new gaming hub is built around free downloadable games geared for fans to play via their PC. The VH1 original games range from pop-culture quizzes to lighter action games such as Escape the Paparazzi. The arcade titles include the classic driving game Spy Hunter and the fantasy game Joust. The classic titles are being bundled with editorial that covers pop culture from when these games were originally released.
VH1 games also includes a variety of chance games such as Sudoku, Poker and Mahjong. And besides actual game play, the new site publishes gaming news and commentary through a blog, VH1 Game Break.
Currently, the site displays ads while games are loading and also features several standard ad placements throughout the VH1 Games content.
