Rupert Murdoch Getting His Game On

Super rich Rupert "My ultimate plan is to rule the world" Murdoch is planning to tighten his grasp on gamedom. He already owns game site IGN and isn't showing any signs of stopping. According to industry site MCV:

Murdoch-owned broadcasting giant Sky has revealed details of a monumental move into PC gaming by openly looking for a new 'head of PC gaming'.

The media behemoth is currently advertising for a candidate who will be charged with the task of managing the firm's forthcoming 'broadband games destination', and is also looking for a marketing manager to join whoever spearheads the new operation.

The pundits think he's got his sights on AOL, which owns game blog Joystiq. This is believed to be part of his plan into ease into the broadband and game space. And make a truck load of cash in the process.
