If you've ever daydreamed about laying waste to your co-workers with an Uzi, you should probably seek help. Or at least tell them that they should make the tea once in a while.

There is a third option, however: dispel your rage by playing a murderous mobile phone game set in an office. If only such a game existed...

As if by magic, Office Massacre appears. Developed by Alten8 (no, NOT the famous masked ravers*), it's a cartoon killing spree that's perfect for anyone who's fed up with their job. The 18-rated game sees you shooting co-workers, policemen and finally your boss. Less itchy feet, more itchy trigger finger, in other words.

Office Massacre will be out for mobile and office-friendly PDAs in April (they should definitely do a BlackBerry version, too) and may make it to PC and console later in the year. Just don't let your boss catch you playing it.

*Kids, ask your older brother. The one with the ageing boiler suit and whistles.
