True, the headline makes me think about the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and how a similar show hosted by Night Elves could be a giant mess, but that's not what this is about. Instead, Business Week published an article interviewing James Cameron (yep, Terminator 2 director). Cameron indicates he wants to create a game that will first lure MMO gamers and have them play in the virtual world, before the movie comes out shortly thereafter.

Also in the story is Imagine Entertainment's team-up with Alex Seropian (one of the guys behind Halo, now running Wideload) on a program titled XQuest. That curious experience is described by Business Week after the jump.

James Cameron's Game Theory [Business Week]

"If it flies, contestants will occupy a cramped spaceship-like module for a month. Its flight simulators will subject them to rocket-like conditions, including six Gs of thrust. Players will ply the galaxy while following the rough contours of a plot. Outside the ship, online gamers will track the crew's mission and ultimately board their own PC-based spaceships to rendezvous with contestants in shared, simulated space."
