The Gloved One may have departed this earthly coil, but his celebrity certainly hasn't. Jacko has found considerable postmortem refuge in video games, from
motion-sensing dance contests to
zombified iPhone apps. Those games have been bootleg at best, though, so this news should warm the hearts of fans just as it lines the pockets of his estate. In just a matter of months,
the world will become 'Planet Michael.'
The massive online-multiplayer game's focus has been described by publisher SEE Virtual Worlds as "Michael's music, his life, and the global issues that concerned him."
The game will be free to play, and will take place in a 3-D environment. Other than those, details are scarce, but we're sure that the "Michael Jackson" name will have fans running, regardless.

I bet the Jackson family gets this taken down.

I wonder if the game will deal with 'child molesting' charges/pay offs that happened in the 'glove one's' life? Will there be a 'pedofile' level with special 'back doors' to score extra boys, opps points?

@Pks29733 Unless and until you've read the actual court transcripts of those trials and see how the press manipulated what was written about the case, spare us from the tired "child molester" accusations.

More crap from the Jackson Family. Dead is dead, unless you're Michael Jackson. Why can't he just go away?? Janet Jackson seems to be the ONLY Jackson child who has a mind. Michael decided to sodomize boy's, and was found not guilty. Unbelievable!!

Mikey, AKA Twisted Sister, was founf N/G, and the jury, with about 10,000 pages of paperwork (no way it was all reread) come up with that "verdict".

Please do not refer to Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson as` jacko. it is and has always been very offensive to Him. I would greatly appreciate more respect shown toward Him as does His Family and Fans Worldwide. I also expect more journalistic professionalism from BLACK VOICE commenting on an AFRICAN AMERICAN.

Jacko was as guilty as can be but just like OJ he had a lawyer who could convince a jury that he was too nice and special to have done it, No celebrity should be alowed to go to ANY jury trial because all that matters in them is how much the person is liked.

another way to exploit MJ name for profit. But i do have to admit if they could pull off a hologram image of MJ to look as good as the real thing i'd be sort of impressed and would endorse it just for the mere entertainment effect it would be for countless thousands out there. Have to wait and see for sure .... stay tuned..... folks ;)

I have always loved Michael and his singing and dancing. I believe he was innocent of all charges.

It's sad that they're now trying to capitalize on his death. .now that it's socially more acceptable to be pro Michael. Selfish hypocrites. Poor Michael. I'm just glad he dosen't have to deal with all the shit anymore.
