It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a game with a good title. Or, if I can’t have a good title, give me areally weird oneto grab my attention. Just string together a set of words with (at best) tenuous links between them and my ears will immediately perk up. Like, “Zany Monkey Fart Coliseum,” or “Autoerotic Asphyxiation Racers.”
Damn. I should get a job titling games.
At any rate, this isCrazy Hot Dogs Tailgate Party, a cell phone game arriving on Verizon phones this week. Its a puzzle game where you cook hot dogs at tailgate parties in a puzzle-game interface.
