Kotaku
The rumors were right. The Chipmunks are getting their own PS2/Wii/DS videogame from Brash Entertainment. This December alongside their film, The Chipmunks will launch a rhythm game in which they perform 40 castrated classics like REM's Shiny Happy People and Run DMC's It's Tricky.
In a setup similar to Guitar Hero's venue progression, the squirrel-like annoyances will screech their way from high school gyms to Burning Man. Despite our once unabashed love for both the former show and movie, we're now older, wiser and way more knowledgeable about studio enhancement. You lied to us, Alvin. And we'll never forgive you for it.

Oh dear god....
im preordering dont wanna miss out on this game of the year all over it
Why, oh why, must Hollywood keep raping my childhood?
We're all fucking doomed...
Why does everything have to be turned into some crappy video game or other? I mean, it's bad enough that franchises like this have appliances and t-shirts and all that other crap. What's next, the adventures of Bibleman? 0.0
Damn. You just had to remind me about the Chipmunks liveaction/CG pile on its way to theaters.
Curse you, Kotaku! Curse you!
Whatever, the original game for NES was a lot of fun. That, duck tales, and aladdin were all top notch disney games.
it better have a chipmunk christmas

What did Run RMC do to deserve to be butchered like you said?
@Mosaab:
Just wait for the Captain Planet revival.
Or better yet, move to Tibet.
No thanks, Raving Rabbid 2's "Smoke on the Water" is all the squeaky I need.

I think this is, what, the third or fourth sign of the apocalypse? I'll be in the bomb shelter with Bioshock, kthxbai.
Alvin, Theodore, Simon, and Dave are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Their rhythm game forebodes the coming of the end of days.
@Mosaab:
Uhhhhh....
Ugh I hate these things!
the chipmunks are a crime against humanity, possibly the greatest crime of any american (except GW, his cabinet, etc obviously)
Oh, and Mark earns +45 cool for the Rammstein pic.
With every old franchise that suffers a "revival", the world comes 30 steps closer to its inevitable DOOM!!!!!!!
Guys stop it, you know how much the software to make the chipmunks voices costs?.. well actually it comes as standard with windows.. nevermind.
Warning: If you follow the link you will be exposed to image of "urban" "street" version of chipmunks. Seriously ... it looks like a relic from, like, '92.
@kmattson: That's... That's not...
official art, right?
right!?
@Gamemaster:
It is.
@Gamemaster:
Wait for artbook ... sketches of Alvin and Simon smokin' a joint.
@kmattson: I bet you Captin Planet is already in the works!
Trailer that will give you children of the 80s nightmares:

Somehow, I don't remember eating their own feces being in the show.
@goomba478: Sweet Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Heaven, don't put this here! My eyes, my eeeeeeeeyes!
...but...what does this have to do with Rammstein?
Burning Man in a Chipmunks game? ...Really?
@goomba478:
Evidently the only thing funnier than poop is poop being eaten.
Oh, sweet muse! What inspiration will you send earthward next?
THE END IS NIGH!
THE END IS NIGH!
And the #1 80's franchise I wish could've stayed dead is..
It's so horrible. It's so terrible. WHY! WHY!
I hate the Chipmunks, but I love the idea of Run DMC's It's Tricky being in a rhythm game. Depending on the rest of the soundtrack, this may be a bargain-bin purchase for me next year.
I don't care what you all say. I think it will be a great movie.
Wait a minute! Alvin ... Simon ... and Theodore all in one fucking game? OH YEA BABY!
Wait I just had an idea BRASH screw console I want CHIPMUNKS the MMO.
ALVIN = WARRIOR
SIMON = MAGE
THEODORE = FAT SON OF A BITCH??
I am so glad I'm not on THAT QA team.
Is Jason Lee just determined to make every crappy cartoon-to-movie ever? I mean, Stealing Harvard and A Guy Thing pretty much killed him, but I thought after the Incredibles he'd try and do better...
So, who wants to be that Stipe will just cut himself a little deeper for writing that song?
*cries*
This probably makes me a bad person, but that art makes me think of a possible Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mod with Alvin in the Bloods, Simon in the Crips, and Theodore in the Grove Street Families with CJ and Big Smoke.
...what?
and people say Jpops are annoying...
Well, this confirms the existence of a God in the universe. He's out there, and he wants us to suffer. Extensively.
Why did you put their faces on Ramstein?
(if not, the guy on the left looks alot like their guitar player.)
it would be so awesome if they have a Marilyn Manson song. I would so love to hear it Chipmunk style!!
@icepick314: and yes....JPops are much more annoying than Alvin!
I'd like it if they hadn't suddenly changed into some kind of homies.
This is sad.
*signs* I still want a huuuuula-hoop
