"South Park to be outrageous, be crazy, blasphemous. He must die a certain number of children, we must be crazy things." [Feargus Urquhart, Obsidian Entertainment President]

Is it acceptable to ridicule, in one fell swoop, Islam and Judaism, Scientology and the Catholic Church, gay and animal rights? It's just a cartoon that uses expressions like "Fuck-uncle", "Suck balls", "Holy Trout", "Son of Sultana" or "casserole"? It is perhaps unfortunate laugh at South Park, inappropriate belief an animated series (winner of three Emmys) that Ben Affleck has with the hand of a boy of ten years (one of Eric Cartman who controls the puppet of Jennifer Lopez), or Christopher Reeve bites where dead fetuses, feeding on their stem cells to return to fly again? Where is the limit when it blasphemous humor in the episode "Bloody Mary", a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding from menstruation sit and spray on the face of the Pope, or when the boy The Mole, in the feature film derived from the series, called God in various ways, including "fucking asshole", "most of frocione everyone" and "fucking rogue"? Not to mention the bloody deaths and repeated the poor Kenny, a towel intelligent repeatedly asks the protagonists of the series "Want to smoke?" Satan's succubus whore reduced to Saddam Hussein or, more generally, of exaggerations put in countless scene by Trey Parker and Matt Stone over fifteen seasons, from 1997 until now? A philosophical answer to these questions is kept between the pages of the book "South Park and Philosophy" , (edited by Robert Arp and several authors for ISBN publishing, he dispassionately recommended reading), and in 2012 sent'll have to wait to find out how "South Park" will feature South Park: The Game, the new role-playing game developed by Obsidian for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

South Park: The Game is set in the town of Colorado, reproducing the environments and characters already well known to fans. Players assume the role of newcomer in town and will seek to integrate better with Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny in extricating their bizarre adventures framed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The two, in fact, will treat the story and screenplay of the game, lending their voices to the characters and even taking care of the soundtrack (the music has enormous significance for Parker and Stone). The important detail to be reckoned with at all - said the Chairman of Obsidian - is the irrepressible enthusiasm shown by the authors, artists and dubbing of the original series: "It was a great surprise. We have been contacted directly by them, as is usually the publishers who calls you and says hey, we have a license and we want to play! But this time the request is made ​​by the licensee. It is exciting because it's nice to work on a product like this, working with them means that they will tell us what they want . " The news is all here and, after all, is one that is promising: beyond the undoubted quality in the field of the RPG software house responsible for the development ( Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II , Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege III among others) and set aside some time now the clumsy and mediocre tie-in products in the past by Acclaim (South Park South Park: Chefs Luv Shack South Park Rally, and), the game of Obsidian will be delivered to the history of tecnoludico as "THE" game of South Park. In other words, it will be even longer, larger, whole and even more irreverent and blasphemous than ever. Or, will not be South Park: The Game.
