CONSOLE GENRE

[ September 16th 2001 ]
Teenage
bubble-gum queen Britney Spears is aiming to displace
Core Design's hapless archaeologist Lara Croft
from the video-game pedestal after signing a deal
with computer games manufacturer THQ, People Magazine
reports today.
No stranger
to technological innovation herself by being the
first to incorporate 3D technology on her music
DVD which features a variety of on-stage viewing
angles and interactive menus, the Princess of
Pop hopes to migrate the same success to the console
platform. The first in a series of video-games
starring the teenage diva has been penciled to
launch in spring.
An industry
source close to the Britney camp said: "This will
open up the gaming market, which is already incredibly
lucrative. It could be a very canny move and ensure
the cash keeps rolling in..."
A source
close to the TRC camp is still laughing.
