Episodic gaming comes to the PS3, Rat Race is on the horizon

Comedy adventure games are a dangerous territory. You either nail it like Telltale Games did with Sam & Max or the jokes fall flat like and the game bombs. Super-Ego Games, who one time worked on a Barbie title with Activision, is about to gamble with humor in Rat Race. Individual episodes of the game will be sold over the Playstation Network beginning this winter. In the game you play a grunt at BiggCo, a fractured corporation, with the goal of making through the day. Since the game is supposed to be funny it has a monkey and you have to “neutralize” it.
