It makes total sense that developers would want to take advantage of the DSi's photographic capabilities, but the jury's still out whether this idea is hilarious or just plain scary. In new-ish title, Foto Face: The Face Stealer Strikes, you use your DSi to capture your own or your friends' faces and insert them into the game. You can also record your "heroic battle cry" if you so choose.
The game pays lip service to being a real game by having you "reclaim your stolen identity" from the sinister Face Stealer but mainly it's just an excuse to make your friends look like hydrocephalic game characters. The game features platforming puzzles through 15 levels and 8 unlockable costumes that allow you to look like ninjas, spies or Conan the Barbarian. And if the mood takes you, you can upload your in-game photos and share your swollen skull with anyone who cares to look at it.
The game's available at the Nintendo DSi game store for 800 DSi points.

You know, just last night I watched this Season 2 episode of the new Dr. Who, and it was all about this electronic creature ripping people's faces off via a video screen – their face would be suspended in this monitor, while their faceless bodies roamed the earth, despondent and clutching their fingers in horrible, impotent silence…
… I'm not going near this game. Ever. But, neat find! ^_^;
