R&J, The Game. On Your Cellphone.

http://kotaku.com/361174/romeo-and-juliet-the-cell-phone-platformer

Courtesy of Kotaku (and thanks to Thomas from Games Magazine for the link) we have this new and...strange...idea for a game.  It's Romeo and Juliet, on your cell phone.

"Cool!" you say. 

Maybe, maybe not.  It's actually a platform game - think "jumping over stuff and shooting things that get in your way."  The plot involves Romeo having to rescue Juliet from a castle tower. 

In other words, it has nothing to do with the actual R&J story other than the names and probably some scenery.

Maybe it'll be good, maybe not so much.  Who knows.  If Romeo throws out the occasional quote while jumping up and down on killer mushrooms, I'm there.
