American Idol/X-Factor judge and man of many entertainment-spotting talents Simon Cowell probably thinks you can't sing. But he thinks you should probably be playing one of his videogames.
Cowell and entrepreneur Philip Green are currently joining forces to create what the duo is calling the "new Disney," Greenwell Entertainment. Among other things, Greenwell is looking to get involved in the videogame industry, even recently meeting with Sony CEO Howard Stringer.
"Without being rude or conceited," Green told GQ magazine, right before sounding both rude and conceited, "he knew what we were on to was going to shape the future."
"Look at Guitar Hero," he continues. "[Simon's] got more viewers, more hits, more everything... and he hasn't even got a Web site!"
While I'm not exactly sure the two know how this whole videogames thing works, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'd be more than happy to cover a third-person action shooter starring Simon Cowell.

Then again, maybe Simon will make the greatest game ever. I wouldn't doubt it from him.
The more the merrier in terms of developers I guess. I hope it's not just to take over the rights to "[country] got talent" or American Idol games.
Well well well, someone learnt the basics of economics.
Get your popcorn, this is going to be fun to watch.
Fuck no.
If a single one of you buys his game, I will hunt you down like a dog. I don't care if it's Modern War Hero, with a gun perhipheral and naked models all the way through it, do not fucking buy it....
I still don't know if this is a good thing or not.
I'd buy that on purpose.
Well, that's obviously because we were in long meetings trying to figure out what we were going to do about this massive problem. I mean, it's nearly the end of the world.
