I've always thought National Geographic, Animal Planet or the like should enter the games market. How cool would it be to have a Great White Shark simulator where you rely on the animal's amazing senses and just work to survive. No points or power-ups, just an endless ocean of seals to breach waters for in a fantastic, dizzying display of power and prowess.

Ah well, I guess National Geographic Panda from Namco Bandai will have to do, though (not that Pandas aren't scary in their own right, the title just sounds like it will be a cutesy DS game). According to a statement, there's also National Geographic Africa in the works for Sony's PlayStation 3 platform.

National Geographic Games will be both creating games in-house (the first of which, Herod's Lost Tomb, has already been completed and will be made available as a free download for PC, Mac and the iPhone), as well as through partnerships with the likes of Namco Bandai, Sony and more. More titles are in the works for the PS3, Nintendo Wii and handheld devices such as the DS.

I thought sharks smell and have poor eye sight. Pretty hard to simulate I reckon!

You could do the whole sonar thing, which would add some challenge to it

kind removes the primal power you where going on about if you start adding in huds unless it has frickn laser beams!

hopefully they'll have a game featuring topless african women.

model that s*** with phys-x or havoc or whatever.

there is still hope.. panda's with frickin laser beams.
