Aqua Teen Hunger Force game coming in Fall; Boston goes to DEFCON 1

As we’ve told you before, your favorite crime fighting food items will be making their way to the PlayStation 2. But what we didn’t tell you, was what the game’s title would be or when it was coming out. Well, now we know, and since knowing is half the battle, allow us to tell you. This Fall will see the release of Midway’s new Aqua Teen Hunger Force video game, titled: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am.

Aside from having the greatest video game title ever, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force (ATHF) game looks like it will retain all the bizarre humor that makes the ATHF TV show so great (except in Boston). Peruse a brief description of the game to see what I mean:

“Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is an epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game that gives fans an opportunity to experience the Aqua Teen universe in a whole new way … This game will set a new standard for crime-fighting, golf-obsessed, food battles.”

Yeah, I think the ESRB is going to give this game a rating of WTF? But in all honesty, I couldn’t care less about what the game play is like. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is one of the funniest shows on Adult Swim (second only to Sealab 2021) and if the game is nothing but a bunch of ATHF cartoons, I’ll still be happy. Just as long as my main man Carl makes an appearance.

Caress the jump for the full description and press release.

Game Based on Hit Animated Comedy from Adult Swim Scheduled for Release on PlayStation®2 Computer Entertainment System this Fall

CHICAGO – March 21, 2007 – Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment industry publisher and developer, today announced that it will be developing an interactive title based on the hit comedy series from Adult Swim – Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am is an epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game that gives fans an opportunity to experience the Aqua Teen universe in a whole new way. When Frylock is admitted to the prestigious Jersey Pines Golf Club, Master Shake decides to show the uppity members that he is also just as good (and uppity) and deserves a place in their exclusive club. Meatwad is, of course, persuaded to join in, and the three crime-fighting food products use golf clubs and a variety of other weapons in ways not intended as they battle numerous villains, fan favorites and other show characters.

“Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a unique and completely hilarious property,” said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. “We are working closely with Aqua Teen creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis to bring the tone of the TV show and movie into a video game.”

“This golden chalice represents a new age in gaming, the likes of which has never before been seen on this planet. The weak will tremble at the awesomeness of our full color, hand-made graphics!” said creators Maiellaro and Willis simultaneously and in unison.
