MTV said Monday that the network will launch its first ever GameORZ Week through various network properties on-air, online, and on campus.
The new programming will focus on hardware, new games, game development, lifestyle, competitions, and more.

"GameORZ Week will be a multiplatform entertainment experience for gamers that will showcase the touch points where music, stars, and video games intersect with youth culture."
