Think of the possibilities...with so many current releases out without video game tie-ins, why not just make some?  Just think of the possibilities!  How about...

Hairspray!  The Official Game of the Musical!!!
- Play as multiple characters in this action/platformer/stealth/dance game!
  • As Tracy, stun your enemies with excessive amounts of aerosol hairspray while they flee in vain from the ugly sight before them!
  • As Edna, use your considerable girth to bust through walls, wield battering rams and set traps using tools from your husband's joke shop!
  • As "the flasher who lives next door", woo the ladies to gain access to secret passages!
  • As Seabreeze, knock out your foes Moonwalker-style: outdance them!
- Get out the packed-in DDR mat and dance to all your favourite numbers from the musical!
- Shake the Wiimote in time to the music for extra "booty points"!

Knocked Up: The Game
Custer's Revenge meets the Hot Coffee Mod...need I say more?

I'd like to hear your suggestions.

EGM already did the ones you mentioned, so let me take you
back to the 80's..... Why was there never a BODY HEAT game!?

More Seriously I'd like to see a game based on the cult flick CAT PEOPLE and a really good PLANET OF THE APES FPS shooter!

I read more books than watch movies. How about some documentary quiz style dinosaur games? Or Antiques Roadshow the game? The CDI DOCU games sold like hotcakes guys!

Dead serious, that was a coincidence.

Oh man, imagine finding out you were, briefly, on the same wavelength as EGM.  I mean the exact wavelength.  Be strong.  Our prayers are with you.

As long as I'm not on the same wavelength as the reviewers.  *badum ching*

All cracks at EGM aside, it was entirely a coincidence.  I remember once making up a game console called the "Gamecube" back when the sixth-gen Nintendo console was still called the Dolphin.  And when Nintendo changed the name to the GCN, I felt more wierded out than plagiarized.
