Meet Coolest Girl in School, a video game that's being described as "Grand Theft Auto for Girls" and is causing a wee ruckus in Australia and Canada for its tongue-in-cheek mashup of Bully and Confessions of an Heiress. From the designer's website:
What does every girl across the globe have in common? At some point, every girl wishes she could be the Coolest Girl in School.
Coolest Girl in School lets players live out their high school fantasies.
Experiment with fashion! Experiment with drugs! Experiment with your sexuality! Cut class! Spread rumors! But try to avoid dying of embarrassment- literally!
Sounds *awesome*, right? Sure, except for one small thing: it's for your phone. YOUR PHONE! You know what Grand Theft Auto on a phone would be? We do. It's called Oregon Trail, and it sure as hell ain't the sprawling, open-ended, rated-M-for-Mature madness that is Grand Theft Auto. Boo hiss, game designers Champagne for the Ladies, for comparing your tiny apple to GTA's groundbreaking orange and getting us all excited over what's basically Zork for Mean Girls.
Lady gamers: we know you're out there. Would any of y'all play a full size version of this video game? Lady non-gamers: would you be curious? And dudes: is it just me that sometimes plays Vice City and wishes he could be a hooker instead of Ray Liotta?
