By now you may think we are picking on the Gizmondo, the newest handheld game system trying to vie for the market owned by Nintendo for nearly twenty years. We've done nothing but make fun of it, even though it features a few interesting ideas and a number of abilities that are unique only to it. Where else are you going to find a portable with a built in GPS unit? But at the same time, you have to put up with watching TV commercials. No matter what we think, the Gizmondo deserves to be looked at . and Defunct Games is just the site to stare it down.

One of the big games announced for the Gizmondo launch is something called Momma, Can I Mow the Lawn. Although we were unable to find any screenshots of pictures of the box, it was one of the very first announced games for the handheld.

After all, gamers all around the world have been demanding a game that allows them to simulate all the fun of mowing the lawn!

Seeing this as the future for games in general, we thought it would be fun to recommend a few more job-based games that the Gizmondo could host exclusively. Since we don't have any pack shots, we were forced to present these games as postcards they could give out at next year's E3. If you see any of these games announced in twelve months don't blame us, you and I both know that the future of video games lies in realistic games that have you doing mundane tasks.

If you aren't convinced by our postcards, we have decided to also include the description of the games as if they were in their product guide. You may find these silly, but I assure you that they are no more ridiculous than the already announced mowing game.
