Joel from Sydney writes "Wired News' Lore Sjöberg has written a tongue-in-cheek look at what the world of gaming will look like in 2010. From the article: 'Nintendo and LucasArts are still locked in competition to bring their aging iconic characters to every genre ever invented. The year 2010 saw the release of Darth Maul's Star Wars Tennis, Mario MMORPG, Clone Trooper Golf, Mario's Dating Sim, Jar-Jar's Dating Sim and Mario Storms the Beach at Normandy. Plus, handheld versions of all those.'"

I would absolutely play Mario Storms the Beach at Normandy. It sounds like a laugh; especially if it includes classic Mario music.
Darth Maul tennis by Repton · 2006-01-12 14:39 · Score: 4, Funny

Darth Maul tennis would be pretty cool. You could have a double-ended raquet, three balls in progress at once, force-pull for the ball, Jedi mind trick on the umpire...

They say that only an experienced wizard can do the tengu shuffle.

With the way things are currently going, by 2010 all games will ship in miniature crates.

Mario MMORPG? by Megane · 2006-01-12 16:28 · Score: 2, Funny

But still no sign of a Zelda MMORPG anywhere.
And how about "Grand Theft Auto: Mullah City", where you get to jack a Humvee?

Come on, that article was pretty funny.

"I'm still limited to shooting, beating or running over hookers? Kill Death Die Hurt Maim let me chop off their fingers one by one while they begged for mercy, their cheap eyeliner merging with their tears and darkening the pools of blood at their feet. Are you sure Mario isn't in this wimpfest?"
