Personally, I have mad respect for Michael Phelps, I mean the man is the best Olympian of all time and he has a hot girlfriend. But, none the less, global video game publisher, 505 Games, announced today a new partnership with Phelps to develop next generation console video games.

The first title is scheduled to release in spring 2010 and will be developed by 505 Games newly formed U.S. operations in Los Angeles, adding just one more thing to his still amazing list.

“505 Games is proud to partner with Michael Phelps to create innovative new game play experiences that celebrate active lifestyles, the spirit of competition and the inspirational dream of becoming a champion,” said Adam Kline, president of 505 Games U.S.

“Through swimming, Michael has become an international superstar and role model for people of all ages. With 505 Games’ global reach, we look forward to leveraging the powerful digital entertainment medium to bring Michael’s passion for sports and competition to new audiences around the world.”
