Registers Genesis domain names — Take-Two Interactive

Firm registers 10 “Genesis” domain names.

Take-Two Interactive Software, maker of the popular Grand Theft Auto and Bioshock games, registered a number of domain names related to “Genesis” yesterday:

genesis-dedication.com
genesis-home.com
genesis-honor.com
genesis-medic.com
genesis-remote.com
genesis-rise.com
genesis-slab.com
genesis-soul.com
genesis-spring.com
genesis-zmen.com

Oddly, the firm didn’t register any of the unhyphenated versions of these domain names.

My days of hardcore video gaming date back to the old Sega Genesis. But I suspect this has to do with a fresh game, and I’ll let current gamers tell me what these names might be used for.

Update: Some eagle eyes in GoDaddy’s Premier Services department pointed out that it might be for Z-Men, as the domain names match the names under “episodes” at this site.
