Article: Justin.TV Brings Live-Streamed Video Gaming Portal Switch TV to the iPhone
Did you know that back in June, 2011, Justin.TV launched Twitch TV? Twitch TV is a web-based platform where the video game community can come together to watch live video game competitions.
Of the many competitive video games available to watch, one such game is Starcraft II (pictured). Other games include Halo Reach, Call of Duty: Black Ops and more.
The video game news here is that due to the popularity of Switch TV, you can now watch video game competitions as they happen on your iPhone! There is a free OS app that is available for your iPhone where you can watch games, as well as browse game by game.
Here is art for Twitch TV.
Ms. H's take: I categorize Twitch TV with other video media such as Youtube, and live streaming web based mediums. I think the difference here is video game competitions are real-time and you can watch as the game is being played. The article stated that Justin.TV wants Twitch TV to be a one-stop-shop for video game competitions. Moving to mobile devices such as the iPhone is a method Justin.TV is using to meet this goal.
I have watched many video games being played, including Starcraft and Battlefield Bad Company, as well as many others. I found watching video games to be enjoyable, as well as a learning experience. From watching my family members playing video games expertly, I tried to emulate and learn how to use strategies and skill in my game plays.
In my opinion, it is fun to watch competitive video games real-time. I think it is even more fun to "switch" and become part of the video game playing experience itself, in addition to being a spectator!
My minute is up! I appreciate you visiting my website, and I look forward to your next visit! Please return soon and visit often!
