YouTube launches gaming division

April 4th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Ever want to live a day in the life of Chris Crocker? (The “Leave Britney Alone guy?) How about singing along with Chocolate Rain? Well, the folks over at YouTube have heard your prayers, and this morning, Sarcastic Gamer is pleased to have the exclusive announcement.

YouGame is coming. Are you ready? I don’t think anyone is.

The most innovative thing about YouTube is the user-created videos and YouGame is going to be no different. Starting this Spring, budding game developers will be able to submit their own games to the service, for millions of their peers to rate and comment on, and therefore flame the hell out of.

That’s not the best part, though.

To kick off their service, YouGame has asked the top celebrities of YouTube to work with them and make a strong lineup of launch games. That’s right. Soon you’re going to be singing along with Chocolate Rain and the Numa Numa guy. Prepare yourself to fight through the city as the Urban Ninja, facing off against foes like the Tron Guy, the Star Wars Kid, and your greatest rival: The Afro Ninja.

Of course, that’s only two of the games YouGame is planning to release this Spring. We’re expecting a puzzle game featuring cute animals and babies, a first person shooter where you play as a disgruntled kid who didn’t get an Xbox for Christmas and his German pal who just can’t seem to get a grip on himself, and finally it just wouldn’t be part of the YouTube brand without a game dedicated to the Rick Roll.

The only thing missing is a Halo 3 Hoedown DDR clone…

So get ready, YouGame is about to take gaming to a new, creepy level.
