Last night, Sean "P. Diddy/Puff Daddy" Combs hosted the MTV Video Music Awards, which normally would not matter to a video game site such as Joystiq, except of course for the "Best Game Soundtrack" category. The nominations were, as to be expected, all compilations of popular songs – but this is MTV, not the Grammy's, so there is no surprise there. Madden 2005, Midnight Club 3, Def Jam, Tony Hawk's Underground 2…and Dance Dance Revolution? Yes, DDR Extreme was nominated for the category, and it actually won. Granted, DDR does feature a variety of songs from all genres, including some mainstream artists, it actually had some songs composed by Konami developers, too. I do not gain any new respect for the now-devoid-of-music channel, but still I am a bit surprised by their choice.
