More games that shouldn't be MMOs: Classic Edition
This is a topic we spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about, as seen in our previous ruminations on the subject. The rise of the MMO, and its continuing ascent to prominence in mainstream media, however, means that sooner or later, it will fall to the dreaded Remake Syndrome, where old classic movies are updated to fit modern sensibilities, often with disastrous results.To wit: if Game X was a huge hit, then why don't we revamp it and resell it as an MMO? Here are 5 examples why not. Robotron 2084: You are the last protector of the human race against robots, mutants, and geometric shapes. Well, actually, you're just one of the last protectors. This is an MMO, after all. And in a game where everything that isn't you kills you when it touches you, and you're in an enclosed space with no way out, and the enemies just keep coming at you and coming at you ... well, the narrative possibilities are endless.
Pac-man + Mii = Pac-miin
It doesn't take much ingenuity to create Mii versions of celebrities like The Office cast, of The Big Lebowski, and some Japanese guys we've never heard of, but it takes some true inspiration to make the Pac-man face above, complete with frowning ghost facial hair. For those who doubt such a creation is possible with the Wii's somewhat-limited palette of face-creation options, we've included a video of the process after the jump. As for us, we're off to the barber and then the plastic surgeon to make this Mii-inspired dream a reality.[Thanks Luis Camino]
