The War Against Virtual Beer Pong

Posted by timothy on from the time-on-hands-time-on-hands dept.

Michelle Shildkret, 360i on behalf of TIME.com writes "JV Games was all set to release 'Beer Pong' for the Nintendo Wii when parents and lawmakers got a whiff, forcibly renaming the game to Pong Toss and filling its pixelated cups with water instead. But the game is still rated 'T' for teen, and anybody who encounters it will be able to draw clear conclusions as to its intended purpose (drink and get drunk)." Lesson: Don't play games that simulate drinking before you play games that simulate driving, or larceny.

    The War Against Virtual Beer Pong is actually a first-person shooter. It's the prequel to Duke Drinkem Forever.
