A big shot at EA named Riccitiello recently made a statement to the press. His insight?

Hollywood is "worried".

Says Riccitiello, "The buzz in Hollywood, which I heard from some Hollywood folks...is people are worried whether Iron Man the movie is going to get killed by Grand Theft Auto the game. I don't think I've ever heard of that before... There is more interest today from Hollywood to make movies out of our games than there is interest in our industry to make games out of their movies. There's a big reset happening now."

Or, in gamer diction: "I heard GTA IV was going to have sex with Iron Man, then run it over and take its money. Game over, b**ches."

In my opinion, Riccitiello has it backwards. If Iron Man fails at the box office, GTA IV won't be the problem, it'll be the solution. Or rather, scapegoat. Because as we all know, if anyone is going to drunkenly screw and kill Iron Man, that person is Robert Downey Jr.

Speaking of backwards:

Kaplan and Aspyr are making an SAT prep game. Look, kids don't need study devices that resemble video games; they get wrongfully accused of screwing around enough. What kids really need is a Nintendo DS model that looks just like a text book. Now that's serious gaming.

Also, what about prep games for older DS owners? Sure, the SATs are stressful, but compared to the crazy, soul staining stuff adults face, a standardized test is child's play. Here are some helpful preparatory games I'd like to see:

The Meaningless Existence Game - You have one boring life, and then it's over.

And for the female crowd:

So Your Husband Is Cheating - A first-person shooter.

Are there any helpful prep games you think would make responsible additions to this list? Make sure and leave 'em in the comments. ;)
