Ok, the name of the video game is actually “The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom“, but it’s seriously a game about what is becoming a common topic on this blog – pie theft.

Paul Belleza, the co-founder of The Odd Gentlemen (the game’s creator), recently provided a synopsis of the game on Kombo.com:

Pie thief extraordinaire P.B. Winterbottom is a man whose gluttony knows no bounds. Eventually, the universe has enough and sends the elusive Chronoberry Pie to help him correct his previous mistakes by granting him the ability to make copies of himself. Of course, Winterbottom only uses this power to eat more pie and chase the Chronoberry Pie itself through space and time.

That sounds pretty cool. But here’s my idea for a pie theft game. It would be called “Grand Theft Pie” and I would get to run around, steal pies, eat pie, and throw pies at people I don’t like.

In the meantime, though, I’d love to give “The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom” a try, but sadly, I do not have an Xbox 360. If someone would like to gift me one – I will say lots of nice things about you. I’d buy one, but as it turns out, writing about pie doesn’t pay much these days.

The game was released on February 17 and is available on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 MS Points (whatever that means).
