New from EA Games... Sweatshop 2005 where you start a 15 year career as a team manager putting out world class video games. You must keep your team happy-ish, while driving them to the brinks of insanity. New features include 'personal day approval' where you must decide whether letting your multimedia developer go to their mother's funeral is worth the slip in schedule. Transfer team members to other lower performing teams in order to maximize your cost/benefit ratio. Upgrade your staff with 'efficiency experts' for that extra paranoid boost of productivity. Move up the ranks of the corporate ladder while crushing those who stand in your way. Collect praise and bonuses for the slave labor of your subordinates.

Wouldn't that be a cool game? It'd be like Bullfrog's Theme Park, only without the vomited and salty fries. I'm sorely tempted to make this into a game .. but then again, I've started more games than I've had hot dinners, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Any other takers?
Does this smell like chloroform to you?
