Jimmy Buffett Plans Margaritaville Video Game

05/27/2011
. (Gibson) Jimmy Buffett and THQ are working to bring a Buffett-themed video game to Facebook, iPad, iPhone and iPod this fall. Margaritaville Online will present an interactive experience to fans of Buffett's music and books and for people who play social Facebook games like FarmVille.

"The Margaritaville laidback state of mind is inherently social, and THQ has captured the spirit of that lifestyle in this game," said Buffett, according to Billboard.com. "With Margaritaville Online, fans across the globe can party together any time and any place."

That's right, Parrotheads will be able to hang out in 3D environments, listen to Buffett's full catalog, interact with characters from his novels, play mini-games and even start their own bands. It's quite possible that players also will be able to enjoy virtual cheeseburgers in the virtual paradise. more on this story
