Bad News Bear

Icon of childhood innocence gets blood (well, stuffing, actually) on hands

If there's one kids' toy you expect to flip out and go on a homicidal rampage, it's got to be Ken, right? Sixty years without genitalia is probably the least of that poor guy's problems. But, you'd never suspect a killing spree out of a cute and cuddly teddy—and that's the genius behind Naughty Bear, available tomorrow on PS3 and 360.

Naughty Bear is a tale of psychotic revenge. Its titular character lives on a idyllic island paradise with other fuzzy teddies, none of whom like him very much. When Naughty Bear doesn't receive an invite to a birthday party that all of the other bears are invited to, he gets a little angry...in a very Jason Voorhees/Michael Myers sense of the word. And that's where you come in!

Grab control of Naughty Bear and explore his unscripted sandbox world in search of victims. Stalk your fellow fuzzballs and rack up naughty points by killing them in a variety of endlessly inventive ways. That includes, but is not limited to stuffing their faces in electrical sockets, bashing their heads in with hammers, skewering them with a machete or lighting them on fire. If one bear sees you kill another, he might go crazy and commit suicide, which can result in spectacularly macabre chain reaction body counts as bear after bear kills himself after seeing another one die.

It's simple. It's sick. It's your favorite new game.
