Connecticut's attorney general isn't happy that a video game called "Frat Party Games: Beer Pong" was rated suitable for children as young as 13."Beer Pong" was designed by Las Vegas-based JV Games Inc. as a downloadable game for Nintendo Co.'s popular Wii game system.
JV Games Vice President Jag Jaeger informed Blumenthal last month that the company is renaming the game "Pong Toss" and eliminating all references to alcohol.
Jaeger said the video game was never about alcohol, but rather the growing sport that has developed around beer pong. There's even a World Series of Beer Pong that is held in Las Vegas where contestants vie for $50,000 in prize money.
Jaeger said he hopes the revised "Pong Toss" will be released at the end of July. The other games in the "Frat Party Games" line are not yet finalized.
