8 Video Games That Predicted The Future In Ways You Can't Explain

5. Kim Jong-Il's Death & Kim Jong-Un Replacing Him In Homefront

It might be the game that helped bury THQ thanks to requiring a stupid amount of cash to get off the ground, but Homefront's alternate reality was always one of the most fascinating in recent memory.

...until it wasn't 'alternate' anymore.

Thankfully we're yet to see North and South Korea uniting as one to form a 'Greater Korean Republic' before setting off to conquer the West, but Homefront did include the death of Kim Jong-Il and the succession of his son, Kim Jong-Un, happening two weeks before the real Jong-Il died.

The timeframe is staggering enough, but as a strange addendum, Kim "Madder-than-a-box-of-star-jumping-frogs" Jong-Un has been known to play Homefront's alternate reality missions showing Korea taking over US soil, as "practice" a future invasion. How lovely.

Good job there's never been a proven causal link between video games and real-world violence... right?!
