Agetec, the same people behind Raw Danger (the best game you never played) have today announced that they will be releasing a game called LOL on the DS this May. They comment that the titles is a unique, free-form gaming experience that will be far from boring. However, we are not that quick to believe them.
The game will be multiplayer only, and is played by one of the players making a challenge in writing to the others. The crazier the challenge, the more fun everyone will have. Well, thats what the press release says anyway. The person who delivered the challenge chooses an appropriate time limit, and everyone has to answer the challenge on their touch screen however they see fit – with words, pictures, or whatever comes to mind.
“We decided not to include a single player mode in the game because that would defeat the purpose. This game was created to be a social game that allows you interact on and off Nintendo DS with your friends,” said Mark Johnson, the producer. “LOL concentrates on the comedic joy of using the imagination of everyone in the room.”
“LOL is a game with endless possibilities that can be played for hours and hours of nonstop entertainment,” said Hiro Fukuoka, producer at Agetec. “As long as you are a fun-loving person with a little bit of an imagination, there should be no reason you find LOL to be anything less than a great time with your friends. It maximizes your creative abilities and puts a fun twist to it.”

Actually, the concept seems to be based on the Japanese games Oogiri, which has already been made into a DS game (I think; it might not be out yet) called Archime DS.
And even if you must use your DSes - why not use Pictochat?
