EA files trademark application for 'Prison Kings'

EA has filed two trademark applications for "Prison Kings," one filing for an "online computer game" and the other for "downloadable computer-game software." This can mean only one of two things: EA holds stock in the American prison system and is building a new game based on the hard-knock life of incarcerated thugs, thereby glorifying the prison lifestyle and creating a new generation of career inmates, securing its investment for decades. Or, "Prison Kings" will be a pretty lame Facebook game. These are the only options.

Hope they make a version for Kinect for realistic dropping the soap action.

@Special Agent Steve

Heads up to the devs, Kinect only picks up your junk if you stand on the side.

You're welcome.

@Apsac D
Maybe it does that for YOUR junk

@Special Agent Steve And get ready for the inevitable sequel, Prison Queens, if you catch my drift.
..ha. See what I did there? Prison sex joke.

.. -sigh-

@Evin
Oh, I got it alright.
I have prison sex a lot.

Shit, shouldn't have admitted that.

My body is NOT ready.

It's a game about being acquired by EA

Oh come on, no 'nice' art to go along with it?

Geez, even I expected more out of a spam bot.

Ok, seriously I thought of how great a game would be based on prison. If anyone has ever watched lockup, you could play a prisoner trying to escape. Everyday would be in realtime based on yr sentence. And you have to go through the monotony of prison life and all the fights and such to make it through a day. You them gradually van plot ur escape route etc. It could be good. Build ur alliance make friends or enemies.

@Myself I should turn off autocorrect on my Phone to submit comments. Fail.

This could be good if made into an action rpg. Go through normal prison life in realtime. Then plan yr escape whenever you feel like you have the data you need to escape. If anyone's watched lockup, you know it could be good.
