Rant: Brainstorm for a New Hit Video Game

20 Mar 2009  Video Games

This morning, I watched the video clip accompanying an ABC News story entitled “Mexico Drug War Hangs Over ‘Spring Break’“. The story covers the dangers of spring break now that a drug war is being waged across Mexico so near its popular Spring Break hot spots like Cancun.

…the things is, every since I saw the video, all I can think of is what an AWESOME video game that would make. Just think of it: A first-person shoot that casts players in the role of a camo-wearing, M-16-toting Mexican federale trying to root drug dealers out of the Cancun resort strip, avoiding ambushes, and doing your best not to kill the scantily-clad spring break chicks and other assorted drunken by-standers mobbing the beaches. It would kind of be a hybrid of Call of Duty and The Guy Game.

Yeah, I’m probably a horrible person for thinking how much fun the carnage of a Spring Break massacre would be… but who are you to judge? You be right in the middle of that line wrapped around Best Buy on release night if it were a real game.

    Close, but you got it wrong. You are the scantily clad sophomore at Michigan who just saw her counterpart winner of the best bod of the beach contest (and of course one true love) get gunned down by a drug cartel at the crowning ceremony. You are out for blood and justice (pre-law!) So you take up a gun and take the law into your own hands.
