Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Now, I get the idea behind foodie-themed games -- it's not so much simulating an experience as a game tapping into a desirable theme. But what about Beer Pong?
Wired recently threw up a blog post about a new WiiWare game that's ticked off Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal. The game had nabbed itself a teen rating, but Blumenthal was unhappy with the thought of a beer-themed game being labeled as suitable for minors. In response, JV Games pulled out the alcoholic content, renamed it Pong Toss, and now players get to toss ping pong balls into plastic cups -- rated E for everyone!
Well, I would question the point of electronic beer pong as it is, but does (and would) anyone play the game without getting drunk? I never set up a bunch of cans of soda and went to town. What I find most funny about all this -- the game has the exact same backdrop, so it's now E for everyone in an adult fun room with darts, a jukebox, a bar, an Uncle Sam poster, and yes, another poster with a woman in a bikini. So kid friendly! Sometimes, I think you've just got to cut your losses.

Not that I would want any kids to be playing, but I could see this being a fun hit with folks in college (who we are going to assume for the sake of argument that they are all 21! lol) who don't have the room for a full beer pong set-up. They can hook up their Wii, gather around their friends, and play on the computer, but just take real drinks in the room. Not quite as much fun, but a lot less mess and the same result in the end.
