FOUR YEARS AFTER the Nintendo Wii whipped geeks into a frenzy with its motion-controlled gaming platform, Microsoft will finally hit back this month with Kinect for the Xbox 360. But we’re not ready to shell out $150 for the controller-free upgrade until the ’Softies agree to produce at least one of these Seattle-centric games.

Whac-A-Pol
What it is: Fed up with Mayor McGinn’s deep-bore dithering? Pound him back to City Hall. Tired of Governor Gregoire’s liberal agenda? Swat her into Olympia oblivion. Tap your populist rage, grab your virtual mallet, and slap the disembodied head of your least-favorite politician in this bipartisan send-up of the live-action arcade game, Whac-A-Mole.
Who it’s for: The unemployed, the disenfranchised, Libertarians

Behind Maple Bars
What it is: Take the snap, drop back, and score big as you hurl a barrage of yeasty treats into the outstretched hands—and the wide-open mouth—of sprinting Seahawks receiver Golden Tate. But watch out: Instead of cornerbacks, you’ll have to thread your passes between police officers in pursuit of the doughnut-stealing rookie.
Who it’s for: Armchair quarterbacks, Top Pot patrons, Matt Hasselbeck

Drawn Into Hiding
What it is: Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris is on the run from radical Muslims who want her dead for sarcastically declaring May 20 Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. Race against the clock and use your virtual art skills to sketch disguises that can help her evade the extremist killing squads. But please, under no circumstances should you draw her as Mohammed.
Who it’s for: Out-of-work graphic designers, FBI field officers, atheists

Gratefully Undead
What it is: A shuffling horde of bong-wielding zombie burnouts has descended on downtown Seattle, raiding convenience stores and bringing traffic to a halt with impromptu drum circles. As Eastside Jake, suburban hero of healthy living, your mission is to clean up the streets by hosing down those dirty undead hippies and sweeping them into the gutters.
Who it’s for: Yuppies, soccer moms, anyone who hates the smell of patchouli

Barefoot at 15,000 Feet
What it is: You are “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Harris-Moore, boosting, piloting, and crashing one plane after another as you desperately try to elude the police, FBI, and seething store owners you’ve stolen from. The graphics in this high-octane flight simulator are so detailed, you can see the angry mob’s pitchforks and torches on the ground!
Who it’s for: Aerial enthusiasts, foot fetishists, incarcerated gamers
