Life after death - new Michael Jackson game confirmed

Moonwalker - Image 1Since the death of the King of Pop, we've been getting Michael Jackson news left and right - the gaming scene isn't an exception. Apart from the fact that MJ loved games and was a sucker for Mortal Kombat, MJ is gonna get one last hurrah at gaming, even in death. His own MJJ Productions confirm - a new Michael Jackson game is in the works.

Hold on, before you go thinking that this might be some pseudo-tribute to make money off Jacko's death, you must know that MJJ Productions has been working on the title "for several months." In fact, MJ recorded his speech for the game months before his sudden passing.

Release is slated for Christmas later this year for home consoles, but since Sony owns rights to MJ's music, we may not see an Xbox 360 version. Needless to say, the game will feature the pop icon's hits, although none were specified. Even with Jackson gone, MJ will still push through with the project. “I am sure it will still be released. Michael loved games," said an MJ rep.

The original MJ 3 player arcade game was hella fun back in the day. Even the single player genesis game wasnt half bad.

Micheal Jackson: The Crypt Keeper



No but seriously, what kind of game could it be? Maybe a game about him through his life on tours or something. In this day and age of all the music based video games out there, I can see people coming up with some great ideas.

I wish it were a Rock Band-style game.. that is something I would LOVE to have. Catchy beats, different styles, just pure fun.

Sounds like all the suspecting of foul play might not be unfounded. If they started working on the game beforehand and even had Michael record a speech to prove it then they might really have killed him to cash in on it. He really is worth more dead than alive. Like Picasso, Tupac, that one crazy poet chick who wrote I kindly stopped for death (or whatever its called).



As much as I liked the guy I'll never touch his games though.
