The date just got probed.
THQ has moved the release date of the new South Park game (tentatively titled the Stick of Truth) from 2012 to 2013. It is now scheduled to release sometime in the publisher's fourth fiscal quarter of this year, which means sometime after January of 2013.
V-Jump Reveals the Successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Several years and countless next-gen Dragon Ball Z attempts later, Namco Bandai has finally revealed the successor to 2007's Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (or Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor in Japan).
The Xbox Live Marketplace seems to leak another.
A listing for South Park: The Game became visible yesterday on the Xbox Live Marketplace thanks to its supposed release date of May 5. However, the listing didn't feature the working title, but instead the name South Park: The Stick of Truth. Complete with correspoding box art, as well as screens that match Obsidian and THQ's latest work, it's likely the two titles are one in the same.
I'd rather go Tower Defense play.
Creating a South Park game is tricky business, no doubt. It requires equal parts great gameplay, fan service, and humor. What makes Tenorman’s Revenge especially interesting is that it manages to fail on all three fronts. Stiff controls, a lame story, and poor level design make this one of the few South Park stories that you’re better off skipping.
The Xbox 360 exclusive will just make it out before the end of the month.
So what's the logical response to being tricked into eating your own parents in a bowl of chili? Well, we don’t really know, but Tenorman is handling it by stealing an Xbox 360 hard drive from the South Park boys with an army of ginger robots. If you want to help Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle get it back, then you’ll get your chance before the month is over.
South Park Tenorman's Revenge is to be released this Spring.

Confirmed: navigating 3D space with Kinect is miserable.
Without ever having been to Disneyland, I can only assume that Frontier has done a spectacular job recreating the iconic park. The virtual representation of the park seems to have everything covered, straight down to themed garbage cans, benches, and vending carts. Despite all the effort, it's held back at every turn by the peripheral that should be immersing you. The fact of the matter is, the Kinect controls are cumbersome and unnecessary and often just don’t work right.
A full scale RPG from THQ and Obsidian is on the way.
South Park has had a storied history in gaming. Back on the N64, PlayStation, and PC, Iguana Entertainment brought fans a first person shooter that carried some of the charm that made the show a hit. Later, it was followed by a racing game, South Park Rally, and a trivia game, Chef's Luv Shack. After that, the IP went dormant until Let's Go Tower Defense Play on XBLA, which is still to be followed by a four player, co-op platformer. While these small downloadable games are making a splash with players, they pale in comparison to what THQ and Obsidian have announced to be bringing to the market.
Take on Scott Tenorman and his evil gingers next year.
The second South Park game for XBLA has finally been revealed. This will be the final part of the exclusive deal between Microsoft and South Park Digital Studios that was unveiled two years ago. The first game, South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! had a decent showing among reviewers, with a Metacritic of 72. While that game featured Stan, Kenny, Cartman, and Kyle in a tower defense setting, the new game is something much, much different.
