12.17.08 A MICHAEL PHELPS SWIMMING VIDEO GAME
Michael Phelps has signed a deal with 505 Games to get his own swimming-themed video game. For real. **yawns** Someone slow this thrill ride down.
The concept for the game is being developed. It will be “action-oriented,” but it won’t be a game in which players simply swim laps, said Adam Kline, president of 505 Games North America.
Really? Because making someone swim laps sounds fascinating. Ooh, I hope there’s a practice mode! Woohoo! Three thousand meter warm-up, here I come!
But let’s be serious for a moment. Sell any stock you had in 505 Games. Sell it yesterday. Because this game’s coming out in the spring of 2010 - almost two years after Phelps won eight golds in Beijing. I just don’t think there are enough spear guns and chlorine-breathing giant squid and slutty mermaids to make this a success.

If he can bang street hookers in a stolen car in “Bohan” to replenish his health, then beat them to death with a bat after they get out of the car to get his money back, I’ll buy it.
Maybe there can be a level where he finally learns to wear a hat like a god damn normal fucking person. The brim goes in the front or the back not all crooked you fucktard
Level five finds our hero dodging big breasted asian women in airports.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned to be true, it’s this: The kids LOVE Water sports.
chlorine-breathing giant squid,
Amanda Beard?
Holy CRAP! I love the Leisure Suit Larry screen shot. That game was AWESOME.
