Nintendo, which seems to have one mission these days, to end my gaming career, has just put another nail in my coffin. It's new game, "Trauma Center: Under the Knife", for the portable DS system, allows you to perform various medical procedures on patients. It's actually a first in video games, a game where you are trying to save people, not kill them. Despite that lofty goal, I can assure you that my patience for saving the patient's would be rather low. And my rate of yelling at the screen would be rather high.
Anyway, video games seem to always want to be more and more real, but a game where you play a doctor? What's part two of this game going to be about? You get sued for malpractice because you rushed the operation so you could make your tee time? Then you have to become a virtual lawyer and defend yourself? Someone really needs to tell Nintendo to get back to making games about plumbers who eat mushrooms.
Oh, how I should've been a plumber.
