Konami's Tornado Outbreak listed on GameFly...wait, what? photo

Straight away I'll say that I have no idea what Tornado Outbreak is, but judging from its name, I'm sure it's packing a whole lot of awesome. I'm expecting that kind of so-bad-it's-good kind of awesome.

Online videogame rental site GameFly has an early listing for Tornado Outbreak for the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. Action Adventure, it says for the genre. And, of course, there's a big fat TBD for the release date.

What do you think Tornado Outbreak is? Have you heard of this before? I mean, it's my job to know this shi*t, but I got nothing here.

The name sounds great, but is someone f*cking with us? Or is this the next in the line of natural crisis games, where you might play as a member of a storm chaser team or something silly like that. Oh, and Helen Hunt: hot or not?

I've never seen it censored "fu*cking" before. :P

I'm curious as to what this is, but I'm always up for some Action Adventure, myself.

Not.

I hope you get to play as a tornado, infecting other lands with smaller tornadoes, until the tornadoes take over the world.

Not. Unless you're not hot. Then hot.

World-renowned screenwriter and voice actor David Hayter takes on a new role. Join us as he voices a character so emotional, you'll be crying your eyes out. David Hayter voices The Tornado in Tornado Outbreak. Coming soon.

But in all seriousness, it sounds dumb but if it has some dumb fun in there, I'll check it out. Also, nawt.

Sounds interesting, though a bit b-movieish. Good to see something else from Konami though. They badly need some new IP.

It'll be Katamari Damacy, but with a tornado instead of a Katamari.

Maybe you play as a tornado as you try to destroy as much property as possible.

@ John Johnson: Requiem for a Dream FTW!

I would actually play this game if: A) you didnt have control of the tornados but rather they were element to fear and B) if they were actually fucking huge

I think its not that mysterious! There is allready a tornado game out there for nintendos ds. You play as a kitten wich is able to turn into a tornado like taz the tazsmanian devil. Its for sure going in that direction of game. Boring!

I'm looking forward to this game. Also Helen Hunt was hot in Twister.

I hope it implements the Wii balance board and requires users to spin in place while swinging their nunchuks over their heads like a twister... Been a while since I've seen a good 'kid kills sibling with video game controller' headline.

As for Helen Hunt, NOT. She just looks a little too much like Odo from Deep Space Nine for my tastes. :/

Helen Hunt is a little old now, but she was still hot in Twister. I personally prefer her from the "Mad About You" days.

Uhhh, yeah... sorry to disappoint, but David Hayter does not lend his voice to this game.
It's this guy:
