THQ announces that, in conjunction with Obsidian Entertainment, they'll be bringing South Park to video game format in the back half of 2012.

So be honest; when you think of properties that absolutely don't need games, a few come to mind, right? And I'm guessing South Park is pretty high on that list. There were a few amazingly bad South Park games during the PS1/N64 days, and if you didn't have the misfortune of playing them then just believe me when I say that they were terrible. So who, you must ask yourself, came up with the idea of making another South Park game?

THQ announced that they're going to be publishing the Obsidian Entertainment-developed South Park: The Game, which is going to be a role-playing game of all things. You'll take control of the new kid in South Park, whose goal will be to make friends with all the kids of South Park and, no doubt, fight some really bizarre things along the way.

(Something I never thought I'd see on a Game Informer cover.)

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the show's creators and the two guys that still make the show so freaking funny, are going to be involved in the game. That alone should mean that even if the game ends up being terrible, at least it'll be super-funny-terrible. And for that, I'll buy it regardless of anything else.

South Park: The Game will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in the latter half of 2012.
