I love me some string cheese. I'm not sure why it peels like that, but I totally dig it as a midday blogger snack. And I dig Beyond Good & Evil. Though it's not the newest game around, and I think it was largely overlooked, it's still a great game. So it makes perfect sense that this game would be a promotional pack in with string cheese, right?

No, you say? Yes, says Giant Bomb reader Lucas May.

In Canada (where else?) the Cheese Heads brand of mozzarella string cheese comes with the PC version of Beyond Good & Evil. And it's not some silly mail-in order form or anything like us Yanks do; the game comes right in the package! It's a good thing that mozzarella doesn't smell bad.

Is this an insult to the game, or a compliment to the cheese brand?

It's Polly-O string cheese or nothing for me. Accept no substitutes.

Bob Muir

Damn Canadians, getting well-made games for free...

garison

This is the only good thing to ever happen to us Canadians. I will for sure enter this.

Furyfire

...That's some awesome cheese.

imaginarythomas

Seriously?! I'm all about this idea!

Now I just need to find said brand of cheese. It's good to be a canuck, eh?

Topher Cantler

In Canada, cheese comes in bags.

EternalDeathSlayer

I actually think this is a pretty cool promo. I want some cheese now.

Chicken008

But ESRB rates Canada's games not PEGI..

WarZombie

It's a good thing, as good game usually don't come packaged like this, but it's also an insult to the game if this is a means of getting it out there. Or maybe Ubisoft is just being smart and trying to get the first game into as many hands as possible, thus increasing interest in the series and this will lead to increased sales of the sequel.

Or maybe I'm reading way too much into this.

Now I just need to find a store that sells Saputo cheese heads... Anyone?

MrSadistic

I want some god damn milk in bags.

I'm going to Grad School in Ontario in September. I'll have to buy some cheese. If they're getting into the habbit of packaging some of my all-time favorite games with dairy (which is sure looks like), I won't rule out pulling a copy of Gradius 5 out of the middle of a wheel of gouda.

ran24

War Zombie has the right idea. This is to get people aware of the franchise and stir interest in it, so when the new one hits more people will buy it.

You know... it would be nice if Microsoft would update their Backwards Compatibility so I can play this game that I OWN because of said Backwards Compatibility that does NOT exist...

Seriously, I get the business model, but making it so we can't play old xbox games is really pissin me off because I have about 5 that I want to play but don't work...

Why don't they just do this? It wouldn't take much time...

Ikey Heyman

ahh, reminds me of the time General Mills put PC board games in their cereals. that was kinda fun, but then again I was 9.

lucky Canadians. thankfully I already have a copy. amazing game is amazing.

nukka jdav

I want this very much as I'm a fan of cheese and cheese related objects.

UglyDuck

Well, okay, if they say so. But I don't agree with it. It is absolutely mental. There are so many questions, I don't know where to begin. Who authorised this? How did they get the rights? Did they not consider other possibilities? Was this really the best that they could do? What could they possibly hope to achieve with this cash in?

Ow, argh, it hurts to think about it. I've got to stop.

Char Aznable

This still doesn't top Chex Quest as the greatest video game/snack tie-in of all time.

The best movie/snack tie-in is, of course, Ecto Cooler.

Oh isn't good to be Canadian, we are the envy of every nation because of this deal. See the Canadian marketers know what people need, cheese and video games that's it. That cheese is probably from a Canadian cow too, God bless her majesty and our Prime Minister.

ScottyG

I picked a pack up at Walmart. Cost like $6 after tax. Considering the game is $10 on Steam, getting with cheese included for $6 is a pretty good deal. ^_^

Expect an "unboxing" video later on when I get home.

ChronosWing

To bad the pc version of this game is full of bugs. Messed up graphics, random crashes, de-synced audio. But I guess if you can manage to get the game working correctly it's great.

Satsumomo

This is just to promote the upcoming BG&E sequel.

Angry Damman

Free health care, low crime rate, properly blended cheese and video game markets, it truly is the land of kings.

@Topher
So does their milk ><

imaginarythomas

In Canada EVERYTHING comes in bags.

GunSlap

Ah yes, I love my county, and we LOVE CHEESE!

Aaron Mxy Yost

Anybody up in Canada want to buy some cheese and send me a disc? I'm serious!

perri

My two favourite things finally unite.


O Canada....

Spork

What the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck?

If this happens a lot over there, I'm moving to Toronto.

DJGIRL2000
