Kill Yourself

Rebecca Cannon, who is described as a game artist, creates many game art, which are more political, cultural, than regular games.  She is also a writer, who design mobile games and machinima clips.  Game art, which has been flourishing recently the past few years, is usually used in order to deliver a message rather than just delivering a fun gaming experience.  Kill Yourself, which was is a java game developed for mobile phones.  It was designed for people who are so board they rather be dead.  Mobile games, mostly are played mostly by those who are incredibly bored.  This game involves choosing a character who looks how you may feel at the time, and then going around and killing them repeatedly.  A parody of some sorts that takes aim at shooters whose main point is killing others and avoiding to be killed.  

The whole "Kill yourself" game concept is pretty weird to me, almost seems like it would tailor to those who are depressed and want to get some anger out.  it kind of disturbed me as well as make me entertained at the same time, especially the beginning where you choose a character based on how you feel about yourself.  Overall a pretty good idea that seems pretty creepy.
