Michael Jackson died in LA last night, spawning one of the greatest Twitter-mong moments ever, as 10 million people all said, “Is Michael Jackson dead?” within three minutes of each other in one place on the internet. Good times.

Poor old Michael. The most important aspect of his death, though, is obviously how the music genius and sensational odd-ball affected videogames. Luckily, the Americans already have you covered.

IGN’s totted up Jackson’s game appearances in this piece, while 1UP’s has taken a “look back” at his “influence” on games as a whole.

MTV and GameDaily both have “retrospectives”. And very awesome they are, too.

You just know all the specialist car sites this morning are going, “Fuck. What about a list of the best Michael Jackson driving tracks?” All the specialist cooking sites will have their Michael Jackson recipe compendiums up by lunchtime.

Mr Jackson, we’re sorry you’re dead. Your music was amazing. We salute you.

Dutch site 9Lives is rumouring that “MJJ Productions” is working on a Michael Jackson videogame.

The title’s part of the singer’s comeback effort, apparently, and is heading to “Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3″ this Christmas.

We have precisely no idea if this is true or not. Read the sketchy translation through the break. Thanks, GoNintendo.

Phew. We were wondering when these were going to turn up. According to the Major, the British Marketplace has now been updated with five – count them: five – Michael Jackson videos. For 200 MS Points each.

For a mere 1,000 Points, you could be rocking out to Bad, Black and White, Thriller, Billie Jean and Beat It, all in the glory of standard definition, in the comfort of your own home. Put down GTA right now and reach for the sequined glove.

Like, what?
