Oh man, I don't care that this is another cynical piece of advertising like Yaris was, the whole concept of Doritos: Dash of Destruction is so ludicrous, I can't hate it. All I can do is laugh, and the above "making of" video, so utterly cringe-worthy in presentation, just acts as the punchline.
As Major Nelson says, "Sit back, grab a bag of Doritos, and get yourself some Gamerscore!" I can hardly type this for laughing so hard.
I have been playing it this morning and the comedy just doesn't end. It couldn't be more blatant about its existence as a commercial and Achievement Whore Paradise. I kid you not, this is a piece of text from the game: "It looks like this T-Rex is still hungry for Doritos with a side order of Gamerscore!"
You can bet a Destructoid review is in the works. I can't pass this up.

Also..hey..free game.
They got a lot of exposure and had blogs like this one talking about it. All for a fraction of the cost of shooting a straight up traditional commercial.
I will substitute the Doritos for a bottle of Wild Irish Rose though ;)
and awesome.
free game is free
sweet!!
Now I'm hungry
Besides having an easy 200/200 (It's the avatar of arcade games). The gameplay is simple and fast. It's honestly a great party game.
And seriously, it's actually not terrible. Ninja Bee do solid, if not mindblowing, work.
