Game description: David Goldman, intrepid newspaper photographer extraordinaire, goes on assignment to capture wild and wacky events on film. Under seemingly normal circumstances which can quickly get out of hand, David clicks and snaps opportune and interesting shots which will please his chief editor and ensure his continued employment at the Times. David's aspiration since childhood has been the snaring of a Pulitzer and the Japanese assignment dovetails neatly with his dream. The first level plants our maniacally grinning friend on a Japanese street where citizens coalesce and dawdle. The people eventually start hamming it up, ignite incidents and essentially open themselves up for blooper-magnitude photo ops. A limited amount of film requires a game plan of paucity when taking photos, limiting yourself to only the money shots. Later levels find David in a forest filled with spirits, a sports arena, a zoo and a shopping center, among others. The game touts support of the Popegg camera once it's released and players may take a photo of themselves and paste their face on in-game characters if so inclined.
