Babysitting Mania exactly the kind of mania we don't need


Babysitting: now there's an easy gig. As a young teenager, yours truly would regularly make good money for simply idling about on a neighbor's sofa, periodically raiding the fridge, and playing Super Mario Kart.

Whether such fond memories will be revived by Majesco's latest "Mania" title, Babysitting Mania, is debatable. Promising "100 levels of fast-paced, overlapping tasks," players are expected to clean, feed and entertain gurgling sprogs of all ages across 20 different households. There's even "bonus" birthday party levels, where the brats from neighboring houses make an appearance. "Only the ultimate babysitter," blares the press release, "will survive the frenzy!"

In other words, it's all the hellish bits of babysitting (arguing about bedtimes, cooking for others, cleaning up after kids), with absolutely none of the fun bits (the aforementioned raiding of fridges, lounging on sofas, payment). Bet you can't wait.
