Das Interview: Legendary’s John Garcia-Shelton

Once upon a time, blasting the pixelated viscera out of Hell’s legions was a simple task: See demon, aim chain gun between the horns; spot Jack Thompson, go hand-to-hand (why not enjoy it a little?). Nowadays, thanks to what scientists refer to as an “assload of shovelware” and big-budget sequels, picking the right finger-blisterer is slightly less straightforward. Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: World at War, Crysis: Warhead, and Fallout 3 represent a murderer’s row of FPS titles this holiday.

Southpeak Games Brings Child Abuse To The DS With My Baby

There are people out there who will seek out Southpeak Games’ My Baby (available in baby girl and and baby game packs-but there will not be a hill giant baby version by artist Ron Mueck) when it hits for the DS this fall. There’s definitely a market segment out there who want a chance to raise a digital baby up from day one to fourteen months with the help of an in-game pediatrician and nurse. We should be thankful this title exists, it makes those people easier to identify and avoid.

The game is obviously targeted at young children who want to practice their maternal instincts. But if Southpeak has the stones for it they’ll include an online component that ranks the parenting skills of all players. Prenatal choices like whether or not you should take folic acid or if it’s safe crack that second bottle of merlot could at least give this game some kind of real world impact. It could also help us identify the evil baby killing children walking amongst us. Their pelts are worth a fortune. southpeakgames.com
