Hot New Video Game Consists Solely Of Shooting People Point-Blank In The Face

The Onion News Network:

LOL. I know it's supposed to be satire, but not knowing anything about non-Wii-sports videogames, I would have assumed we were already there already. The ostrich kills me every time.

Thanks for the link. It takes up a lot of memory while it's playing, but it was worth it. Unfortunatly they make you killl the poor horse & ostrich. I didn't want to but it wouldn't go on unless I did. I'm still crying.

I enjoyed the whole video, but that throw away line at the end killed me. It must be because I have a one year old. or not.

Games like this have already existed for a while. Stock Market 2008, US Economy 2008 just to name a few. Soon to be released sequels Stock Market 2009 : Meltdown , US Economy 2009 :Annihilation.
