October 1^st, 2004 (12:00am) - BioWare Corp. and MTV2’s "Video Mods" have collaborated to create the first ever Jade Empire music Video Mod. Jade Empire, to be published by Microsoft in March 2005 for the Xbox game system, is an action role-playing game inspired by myths and legends of ancient China. In these Video Mods, watch some of Jade Empire’s feature characters including Wu the Lotus Blossom, Furious Ming and Death’s Hand perform Christina Milian’s "Dip it Low", and New Found Glory’s "It’s all downhill from here". The segment will air October 2, 2004 at 9:30 pm ET/ 6:30 pm PT on MTV2.

Morphing music videos and video games into an entirely new music viewing experience, each half-hour episode of MTV2 "Video Mods" showcases some of today’s most popular video game characters and environments as they perform videos by artists of all genres including Lil Jon, Black Eyed Peas, Evanescence, New Found Glory and more. Each video is transformed, sometimes literally, sometimes with a completely new creative concept, by adapting the music video using a unique video game environment and featuring characters from one, or often a variety of video .

"Using the same motion capture technology that BioWare uses to create incredible martial art fighting styles, MTV2 turns video game characters into rock stars - it’s quite incredible to see the results," said Greg Zeschuk, Joint CEO of BioWare Corp. "This is has been an exciting opportunity for us at BioWare and especially the Jade Empire development team. We have had fun working with MTV2 and Big Bear Entertainment, and watching this come to life," added Ray Muzyka, Joint CEO of BioWare.

MTV2 "Video Mods" is produced by Tony Shiff and Big Bear Entertainment. For complete information on MTV2 "Video Mods" visit www.MTV2.com.
