Hint: When one plane is flying sideways, you're doing something wrong.

Nintendo developers are no strangers to taking high-pressure careers and reducing them to laughable games that prompt players to say, “Med school? Who needs that?! I’m the Trauma Center king!” 

That’s why no one should be surprised that Majesco Entertainment – the guys who brought you Cooking Mama — is publishing Air Traffic Chaos, a first-hand look into what it takes to be an air traffic controller.

Lest the perky cover character lull you into a false sense of security, be warned: being an air traffic controller is one of the most stressful jobs in the United States according to Time magazine — and you don’t argue with Time.

You’ll feel the power and responsibility that comes from knowing thousands of lives are banking on your attention span and quick reflexes to safely navigate them from ground to sky and back again. In lieu of a paycheck you’ll receive performance awards aimed at filling in the black hole where your love of life used to be.

While I haven’t played Air Traffic Chaos – and don’t plan to ever, sorry – the ESRB warns that the game contains “Violent References.” I take this to mean there’s no nice way of explaining that a. two planes are about to collide because you suck at your job and b. you better watch your in-game stress level or you’ll stroke out.
