Xbox Live Arcade's South Park game has been ridiculously mute ever since it was announced at E3 in 2008. The game was coming to Comic-Con and we thought we'd have to wait until the show to find out what's in store, but now we know a name and a release date. Lucky us!
South Park Let's Go Tower Defence Play is the moniker, and the release date is October 7. As you may have guessed from the title, it's a tower defense game that is allegedly releasing to coincide with a fresh series of the satirical cartoon show. The game itself will debut at Comic-Con as part of a panel called, "Save South Park One Snowball At A Time."
I'm not that big a fan of tower defense games, but the lure of South Park may be enough to tempt me. The name along deserves at least a token glance.

I'll still get this, but I'm REALLY disappointed that after a YEAR of no updates on this game whatsoever, it's going to be a tower defense? I love me some TD, but there are way too many of them nowadays, and all you really need is Warcraft III. Disappointment all around! As South Park would say: rabble rabble rabble!
I liked it when SP had their own plots but think the episodes that rely on pop culture are really good too, the way they portray their thoughts about things around us on a daily basis is very well done I think.
Either way, the most recent season of South Park was (as most people here already said) horrible. They used to have a really good formula of mature humor masked by fart jokes, so that they appealed to almost all audiences.
Now it seems like it's aimed solely at middle school children.
"Meh. Tower defense games are getting old, and South Park got old and tired like three seasons ago when they stopped making their own plots and decided to rely on riffing pop culture."
Since when was satire unwelcome?
It just gets old having every episode focus on whatever's hot in the news last week.
