New Michael Jackson Video Game for Xmas
New Michael Jackson Video Game for Xmas

Michael Jackson is still on the cutting edge of technology -- TMZ has learned the King of Pop is set to star in a new revolutionary video game ... and the people in charge of MJ's estate are totally on board.
The game -- currently untitled -- will essentially be "dance karaoke" ... which means gamers will see Michael Jackson dancing on screen and will then be challenged to imitate his moves.
The game will be available on multiple platforms including Wii and Xbox 360. The Xbox version will incorporate Microsoft's new Kinect motion capture technology -- which will allow the gamer to play without holding a controller.
Also in the Xbox version, the gamer will be judged based on full body movements. The game will process the movements and display the gamer's avatar on screen ... dancing right next to MJ.
And there's more -- the game also includes a karaoke feature, in which gamers can sing MJ songs like "Billie Jean" ... and even mess around with their voice thanks to an autotune feature.
The game is being developed by Ubisoft -- the same people behind Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon -- and we're told Ubisoft properly secured permission from the MJ estate ... so it's all legit.
The game is scheduled to hit shelves sometime before Christmas.

Abstract
A complete cDNA encoding the acrosin-trypsin inhibitor, HUSI-II, was used as a probe to isolate genomic clones from a human placenta library. Three clones which cover the entire HUSI-II gene were isolated and characterized.
Overview of Genomic Cloning Methodology
Cloning is a process of producing great quantities of identical DNA molecules within a host, usually a bacterium. It can also be done in Eukaryotes. Genomic Cloning refers to the production of a library of cloned DNAs representing the entire genome of a particular organisms2. From this library, you can isolate a single cDNA or gene clone.
A genomic library is usually a collection of phage, plasmid or cosmid clones that contain randomly-generated fragments of genomic DNA (Boulnois, 63). The fragments are random to insure that the entire genome is represented. Making one of these libraries is broken into two general categories. First, the preparation of required biological materials (i.e. vector or genomic DNA). Second is the actual preparation of the library using the prepared materials. A good library should have cloned fragments that are large enough to contain whole genes, yet not too large as to disrupt mapping by resctriction enzyme cleavage (Glover, 37).
In order to clone cDNA or genes you need a vector. The vector carries the DNA after it has been cloned. One such vector that is commonly used is derived from bacterial plasmids. Another vector is from the bacteriophage lambda. These lambda based vectors tend to work better because they can carry more base pairs of DNA. It is important that the fragment that you are cloning is within the size range of the vector being used.
Genomic DNA can be taken from any cell or tissue to be cloned. First, restriction enzymes are used to partially digest the genomic DNA. This insures that the clones in the library will be overlapping. The clones overlap because some genes have more base pairs than can be placed into a vector. The DNA is then size selected to make sure that it can be inserted into a vector successfully.

Jackson Fans Will Moonwalk In Motion-Sensing Game
Michael Jackson fans will be able to moonwalk next to the King of Pop in a new video game to be released this holiday season by Ubisoft Entertainment.
The as-yet-unnamed game will be among the first to use new motion-detecting camera systems to be available later this year for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. The announcement was made Monday at the E3 video game show in Los Angeles.
The game will also work with hand-held controllers on Nintendo's Wii and on the smaller Nintendo DS and PSP portable console from Sony.
The game's launch will roughly coincide with the planned sale of a new album containing unreleased Jackson recordings in November.
Ubisoft marketing vice president Tony Key says as part of the game, players will learn how to mimic the late Jackson's signature moves. Key says, "You are going to learn to moonwalk."
Ok this is nuts... this made me think of this old post of mine <!-- m -->http://lilwendy.wordpress.com/2010/02/1 ... sisalsoit/<!-- m -->
If you scroll down a little more than half way there is a video from Texas A & M
It talks about the Institute for Innovative Technologies (IIT) for short which is the mirror image of TII.
IIT and Texas A & M are connected <!-- m -->http://bit.ly/axlMus<!-- m --> and Texas A & M cloned a horse <!-- m -->http://bit.ly/aQlEnz<!-- m --> back in 2005 named... Paris! O_O
That was 5 years ago... what have they done since then??!!

Back then, I didn't pay it any mind; I just chalked it up to "regular tabloid rumor".
I don't think Michael has invested in cloning, I think that this was to direct us to what is going on with Human cloning. I mean seriously if this technology advances who will be cloned? Cloning is also considered "Cutting Edge Technology".
Only those deemed genetically superior, such as the wealthy, elite, and powerful. It makes me think that of Eugenics and life extension of the "superior". A two class society the elite and the slave race.
It reminds me of the movie "The Island"
The Island (2005)
Plot Summary
Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly Utopian but contained facility in the year 2019. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the "The Island" - reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones. Lincoln makes a daring escape with a beautiful fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta. Relentlessly pursued by the forces of the sinister institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.

Also I went to Ubisoft's website and no Michael Jackson Game is listed as coming soon. The only game listed for holiday release is "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood". I think that it would have been added to their site at the same time a press release was given to the media.
http://www.ubi.com/ENCA/Games/Search.aspx?cal=cs
When I put Michael Jackson into the search on Ubisoft's website, I receive the following response:
"No results were found. Please try again"
Yet as I said other games are listed as being released through out the year.

From the "news" articles I have been reading on this the title of this supposed video game is:
Michael Jackson:The Game
I don't know why but this title just seems odd to me and I can't explain it.
Here is a picture from one of the articles on the Internet about this "game"
and another
The game's launch is set to coincide with the release of an album in November containing previously unreleased Jackson tracks.

So shouldn't this game be on Ubisoft website, advertising, pre-ordering etc, like all the other games they are creating?
Beyond Good & Evil (2003) (Video Game by Ubisoft)
Plot Summary
...On the small island civilization of Hyllis, the DomZ creatures are a ruthless alien race which have invaded the Hyllian people. The government has set up the Alpha Section, which is a society "devoted to the safety of Hyllis", or at least that's what they want you to think. The Alpha Sections are always late to the scene when an invasion occurs, and they're shields are always "broken". The Alpha Sections also work for and are controlled by the DomZ themselves!! Your job as Jade, the photojournalist, is to uncover the conspiracy your government puts before you an expose the real horrors the Alpha Sections corrupt, and show Hyllis the truth to the Iris network, the group devoted to good. As you play through the levels, you're required to take photos of DomZ activity to show Hyllians the truth, with many twists, turns, and obstacles, with a bit of heartbreak, on the way.
As Jade the photojournalist, you must expose the conspiracy the government puts before you and your people by taking photographs of alien activity, with accomplices helping them. The same accomplices which are supposed to be helping save Hillys! Reveal the truth about the Alpha sections and despose of the DomZ monsters at once!

Virtual Reality Prepares Soldiers for Real War
Young Warriors Say Video Shooter Games Helped Hone Their Skills
By Jose Antonio Vargas
Washington Post Staff Writer

One blistering afternoon in Iraq, while fighting insurgents in the northern town of Mosul, Sgt. Sinque Swales opened fire with his .50-cal. That was only the second time, he says, that he ever shot an enemy. A human enemy.
"It felt like I was in a big video game. It didn't even faze me, shooting back. It was just natural instinct. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! " remembers Swales, a fast-talking, deep-voiced, barrel-chested 29-year-old from Chesterfield, Va. He was a combat engineer in Iraq for nearly a year.
Like many soldiers in the 276th Engineer Battalion, whose PlayStations and Xboxes crowded the trailers that served as their barracks, he played games during his downtime. "Halo 2," the sequel to the best-selling first-person shooter game, was a favorite. So was "Full Spectrum Warrior," a military-themed title developed with help from the U.S. Army.
"The insurgents were firing from the other side of the bridge. . . . We called in a helicopter for an airstrike. . . . I couldn't believe I was seeing this. It was like 'Halo.' It didn't even seem real, but it was real."
This is the video game generation of soldiers. " 'Ctrl+Alt+Del,' " the U.S. Army noted in a recent study, "is as basic as 'ABC.' " And computer simulations -- as military officials prefer to call them -- have transformed the way the United States military fights wars, as well as soldiers' ways of killing.
"There's been a huge change in the way we prepare for war, and the soldiers we're training now are the children of the digital age who grew up with GameBoys," says retired Rear Adm. Fred Lewis, a 33-year U.S. Navy veteran who now heads the National Training Systems Association, a trade group that every year puts on the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference, the military counterpart of the glitzy Electronic Entertainment Expo. "Live training on the field is still done, of course," but, he adds, "using simulations to train them is not only natural, it's necessary."
War is no game, of course, but games, in a big way, have updated war. The weapons Swales uses when he plays "SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALS," for example, are virtual replicas of the weapons he used as a soldier in Iraq.

"In I Am Alive, we're not only turning your everyday life upside down; we're also changing the very social values and rules that both everyday life and videogames rely on." Items, especially weapons and ammo, will be much scarcer than gamers are used to, even more so than in traditional survival horror titles such as Resident Evil. The real focus of the game will be obtaining items necessary to survival, such as the water bottle in the trailer. Water can be used for healing or (again, as seen in the trailer) distracting potential opponents to clear a safe path for Adam. And although guns will be rare, they do exist in the game.
"Confrontation is a way of dealing with violent groups, but will rarely be rewarded. We encourage the players to use tactics, diversion, and discretion. You've found a police shotgun, which is out of bullets -- rightfully so, since Chicago has long been a proponent of a ban on guns. How about some intimidation? After all, who knows the gun is empty but you? Just point it at looters and they'll remain at a distance as you progress toward your objective. However, you can only aim it at one person, so you have to watch for being flanked."
And if a first-person game -- in a genre that isn't traditionally first-person -- using weapons scarcely and in an abnormal way sounds a lot like Mirror's Edge to you, the comparison surely isn't lost on Ubisoft. Goddard defended the choice to go with first-person in the article:
"We wanted the player to really feel the power of Mother Nature, to feel the danger coming from the collapsing towers and devastating rifts, feel the chaos happening all around him. There's nothing like a first-person view to create that kind of emotion."
