MTV Games wants to ante up at the high-stakes poker table.
The new Viacom Inc. unit is teaming up with Myelin Media LLC on “STACKED with Daniel Negreanu,” a Texas Hold 'Em game scheduled for release this fall.
MTV Games said STACKED will be available for Microsoft Corp.’s “Xbox”; Sony Corp.’s “PlayStation 2” and “PSP (PlayStation Portable)”; and the PC.
Under terms of the deal, MTV Games will participate in a revenue-sharing structure, and MTV.com (www.mtv.com) will serve as the official online site of STACKED on all platforms.
