Pimp My Ride: This Might Be the Greatest Video Game Ever

You’ve probably heard of Pimp My Ride. You know, the MTV show that’s all about taking a heap of junk on wheels and basically removing everything and putting a very ridiculous car on top of it? Presumably with LCD TVs in the rims and diamonds pasted over the rear view mirror? Yes, it’s pretty ridiculous, but I’ll bet you wouldn’t think so if it was your car they were pimping out.

That’s the idea behind Pimp My Ride: The Game, an upcoming title that’s sure to rival franchises like Mario and Grand Theft Auto in terms of influence and sales. In the game you’ll team up with host Xzibit to add modifications to a bunch of busted hoopdies to make them truly worthy of driving the streets of — wait for it — Pimp City. Yes, you can get your cars tricked out and then race them for the pride of Pimp City. If there’s a better choice out there for games to give your grandkids this holiday season, I don’t know what it is.
