Forget Guitar Hero... Electronic Arts has revealed its intention to publish Celebrity Sports Showdown or B-List Hero as we like to put it.

No, it's not a game adaptation of a bad MTV reality show. This is EA's latest attempt to cash in on the Wii sports craze. It's bringing Fergie, Nelly Furtado and LeAnn Rimes along for the ride.

Featured sports will include the predictable ('smash badminton', 'slalom skiing' and curling - yes that's predictable now) to the slightly odd (inner-tubing and fighter jet racing - not what you'd call a sport so much as reckless endangerment last time we checked).

Other stars included in the game will be US footy player Mia Hamm, country singer Keith Urban, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, ice-skater Kristi Yamaguchi and Boston Celtics' (that's a basketball team) Paul Pierce. Oh, and that amorphous group, 'more'.

It'll play like you'd expect - differently for each game with much waggling of the Wii Remote.

The thing for SPOnG is... you've got Fergie, who in life looks akin to how she does above - like she could kick the living s**t out of you but pretty hot. But, in the game, she'll have a big cartoon head. Why have Fergie in your game then make her look like she has a funny cartoon head? For that matter, why not just deck a Mii out to look like her then turn on Wii Sports?

I thought Fergie was something to do with the royal family?
Nelly Furtado is hot as heck though - loved her in the ManEater video. And loved the track too.
Listened to "Show Time" in a mix from ejflavors.com and that grew on me too.
David Amor reckons games should be more culturally relevant, so it's good to see celebs in a game. They might have missed the boat/point though, if they all just look like Mii characters. =P

Fergie looks like a pretty girl's face transplanted onto a frog. If that's your definition of pretty hot then I'd say get out there more.

I still would of course, but that doesn't mean anything.
