Now before I go into my write up, let me reassure you that LOL is indeed the title of the game. LOL is an upcoming DS game where the players make everything up. By everything, I really mean everything. There is no content except whatever you create yourself.
Confused? Hit the jump to understand what the hell I'm talking about.
[Update: The game is being published by Agetec, NOT Gamecock. Sorry for the mix up.]
First off, LOL was originally released in Japan as Archime late last year. The creators of the game set up an English version of their Web site but many people believed that this game would never come out here in the states. Well, thanks to the powers that be over at Agetec, LOL will be coming out this May on the DS.
Now then, the creators of the game, SKIP, have said it best when it comes to this game: "If it's boring, it's because you're boring". LOL is completely up to you when it comes to how it is played. Each member of the group will take a turn as the host and it will be that person's job to come up with a specific goal for everyone to do.
So for instance, when I played against Edith Yang who was showing off the game, I had us draw out an airplane. We each drew one but I choose Edith to be the winner as my airplane ended up looking way too much like a penis ... Yes, there's something seriously wrong with me.
At the end of each round, each person has three votes to give out to the other players as well as awarding themselves the votes. The host will either reveal all of the answers at once or one at a time. The host of the round will also set up the timer ranging from one minute to no time limit at all for people to submit their answers. Players can kill some time by stabbing characters running around the touch screen while waiting for everyone to submit their answers.
That's really all there is to LOL. It sounds extremely simple but I ended up having a lot of fun with it. Plus, can you imagine how ridiculous this would get as a drinking game?
LOL is set to come out this May from Agetec and should retail for $20. One final thing to note is that this game is for at least two players or more. Obviously, there is no way to play this as a single player game but thankfully this is a single cart multiplayer game.

Work Time Fun's bastardized cousin?
At first I was thinking this doesn't do much more then PictoChat but for 20 dollars I might give it a shot. Single card play is a must however.
What's next, "STFU"?
Okay, this sounds kind of awesome. It's like paper telephone.
I dunno, I still think it doesn't do much more than Pictochat. I feel like you could just as easily make a drinking/party game out of Pictochat, and the only thing different is there would be no clear winner, unless you're keeping score on a piece of paper.
Sounds like Eat Poop, You Cat!
Gamecock sure is taking a lot of risks with these new properties.
Sounds like something you can play for free on the internets.
@DonWii:
He who never took a chance never had a chance.
It seems like pictochat with a point. Looks like fun though
It will be great for parties.
What parties do you go to where people sit around and play on their DS's?
Fun parties.
Sounds like a fun little time-waster. I just can't believe no one else has come up with something like this yet.
I need to find some more interesting friends before I try this out though...>.>
I still don't get it.
reminds me of the drawing SCUM on starcraft. you would draw with pylons, basically making pixel art. the best challenge i had was "draw a mode of transportation" and so i drew the go go gadget hat. i obviously won that round.
Yeah ... this IS Pictochat. Even worse, it's little more than can be achieved by a group of friends, a pencil and a piece of paper. Please tell me why I am expected to pay over thirty quid for this.
Jim, you're not expected to do anything.
Also, LOL is freakin 4mb. Now that's lulz for you.
this is just isketch on ds, except crapper, with less people and less fun.
Er...I'd have to see it in motion.
Jim read my thoughts. Maybe hes a Jedi.
Sounds like the drawing multiplayer game on more braing training. lots of fun with that and my friends.
That's a good idea for something so simple.
Although I obviously haven't played it, this sounds like a digital version of 1000 Blank White Cards.
