Title: Them Doritos games are going to be great

NOT! (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/08/doritos-unveils.html)

Remember when Doritos was sponsoring a game design contest, where you come up with a game idea that somehow involves Doritos, and the winners would have their idea turned into an XBLA game? Yeah well, finalists have been announced and its painful. Shit, I should have come up with something if I knew winning would be this easy.

Ok, the city has become infected with a new plague called "The Munchies", and everyone is turned into zombies that crave Doritos. Your Doritos. You fight your way to the helipad to escape the city (and enjoy your chips). There, I just made up a zombie game featuring potato chips.

O.K., I've got one. The Doritos pose as delicious treats to young children, while in reality they silently infest their bodies with fat. Meanwhile, the marketing department at the Doritos company attempts to create a game that includes Doritos in which young children will play it and therefore increase their desire to eat Doritos and then fatten up. A massive influx in diabetes ensues, partly in response to this marketing.

WHAT A GREAT GAME!!!

they should have just made a puzzle game where you stack doritos of the same flavour together or something. that would have made sense.
