Oh My God! Acclaim Kills Kenny!

  Acclaim announced on Tuesday that it will develop PC and console titles based on Comedy Central's animated ratings-buster South Park, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

  Yes, Kenny, Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and the Chef are coming to a screen near you.

  Games based on the cult favorite adult series should be hitting shelves in 1999. The series, which debuted on Comedy Central in August 1997, is rated as the most popular show on cable today. In fact, the last four episodes have drawn in an average of three to five million viewers and captured 50 percent of the 18-24 age market - prime gamer territory for the highly-anticipated Christmas episode.

  "South Park is not your average politically correct animated comedy, which is why it has caught the world's attention. People can't wait to see what they're going to do next," said Steve Lux, vice president of marketing at Acclaim Entertainment, in a statement.

  "The addictive quality of the show's characters and stories is great fodder for creating mature-rated video games. We anticipate that we will launch these games with the same type of major marketing campaigns that were used so successfully by us with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and NFL Quarterback. We're going to work hand-in-hand with the folks at Comedy Central to make South Park as popular in the interactive entertainment arena as it is on television," Lux added.
