Oddest Video Game Marketing

When Aubrey from South Peak Games sent me a surprise, I was thinking something along the lines of an early copy of the upcoming PS3/Xbox 360 title Prison Break: The Conspiracy.  Instead when I opened the package I was greeted with a bar of soap that had a piece of string attached to it, with the words Prison Break: The Conspiracy engraved on it.   Along with the soap came a note saying, “Grab your ankles and wash away the taint of everyday life”, along with the date of the game releasing and the site to check out the info.  Made me wonder, did I smell so bad to get a package overnight-ed only to include a bar of soap in it and the message was quite obvious.  DON’T drop the soap.  Hit the jump and have a look for your self.

    Enough with “the jump” already. There was no “jump” and it’s an asinine phrase.

    Nic Cage just agreed to star in a horrible movie adaptation about this poor video game premise.

  9. The game is based on the first season only.

    This game is gonna suck so hard. They should have finished the TV show with the first season. It got progressively worse with each season.

  12. goes down fast, they got hamsters running their servers or something.
