    In case you've forgotten: there is a video game about Sour Patch Kids. With an original song by Method Man. That's still happening. The candy is still being made into a video game.You'll get to play said video game on XBLA April 11, and the PS3's PSN April 10, Capcom announced today. If you can't wait to follow the adventures of a piece of candy, you can watch the trailer above, which Capcom is calling a "story trailer," but which looks an awful lot like an ending to us. Sour Patch Kids: Spoiling your dinner and your storylines.

    Capcom just announced a Sour Patch Kids tie-in game for PSN, XBLA, and PC. You know, Sour Patch Kids. The candy. World Gone Sour is the adventure of a lost Sour Patch Kid running and jumping its way from a movie theater's sticky, filthy floor, past the concession stand, and out into the world as it seeks its home in a candy lover's stomach. Yes, this is a game in which the goal -- the ideal situation -- is a person accidentally ingesting candy that's been on the floor of a movie theater. This is a game concept that Sour Patch marketing believed would increase the appeal of the candy. That's what is happening here. But wait! Your $4.99 doesn't just get you a protracted, off-putting Sour Patch ad. World Gone Sour also includes that new Method Man jam, "World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)," and Creed Bratton, whom you know as Creed from The Office, narrating your heroic journey. We suppose it's only appropriate that a licensed game based on candy would come from the developer of Yo! Noid and The California Raisins.%Gallery-140662%
