A Look at Gaming in 2010

Posted by Zonk on from the want-to-play-more-world-of-warcraft dept.

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.'"

    ...Jar-Jar's Dating Sim...

    I will be having a suicide party Dec 31, 2009. Everyone is welcome.

    I would absolutely play Mario Storms the Beach at Normandy. It sounds like a laugh; especially if it includes classic Mario music.

  3. Darth Maul tennis by Repton · · 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.
