Michael Jackson to Go MMO With 'Planet Michael' Game

Planet Michael
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.
