El Segundo, California - June 3, 2008- Music Video Games™ (MvG), a music-based, on-line game company focused on delivering interactive entertainment experiences to both casual gamers and music fans, announced today it has engaged Reverb Communications, Inc. to oversee its public relations campaign and to provide strategic consulting services in the music game space.
Reverb has extensive experience in the music gaming space including its work on the hit music videogame titles Guitar Hero™ and Guitar Hero II™, as well as currently representing the MTV Games’ award-winning music videogame Rock Band™.

We’re delighted to have them on board,” said Vincent Bitetti, CEO of MvG.
“The founders behind MvG have a broad understanding of the gaming business and its potential to further connect with the music industry,” stated Tracie Snitker, vice president of public relations for Reverb Communications. “Our unique combination of services combined with our team’s passion for music-based videogames fall right in line with MvG’s unique vision and we’re eager to further elevate their business with our strategic partnership. Their product is unlike any other music game we’ve seen in the marketplace and we’re exited to start showing it off to the world.”
MvG was founded by veteran videogame talents David Warhol, president of videogame studio Realtime Associates, Inc., and Vincent Bitetti, a videogame publishing executive and former CEO of TDK Mediactive, which was sold to Take Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) in 2004.
