Have you ever had to go to the bathroom, but panic takes you over when you're not able to find a facility? Well, that's exactly what happens in the newest chapter of Rockstar Games ("L.A. Noire," "Grand Theft Auto," "Red Dead Redemption"), "Call of Doodie: Bathroom Break."

You play as James, a mild-mannered 20-something on vacation on a tropical island. When troops attack the island "Red Dawn" style, the town is overrun, and James is forced into hiding. Sure, he is safe, but the only problem is that James suffers from a fear of going to the bathroom anywhere except in a proper toilet. So with the town under siege and James' bowel movement playing peek-a-boo, he must quietly sneak into town to use the crapper. Along the way, you'll be able to collect different weapons, and build your own out of common items (plunger bats and Drano bombs). Users will throw fiery toilet paper with ease, as the game controls are fairly simple to pick up.

Also helping in the quest are diapers, which will extend your game time and allow you to drop a deuce no matter where you are. But beware of the enemy, because once you're captured, not only are you imprisoned, you'll be forced to eat numerous bran muffins while having Ex-lax-spiked coffee poured down your throat.

" Call of Doodie: Bathroom Break" can seem tedious at times, and you'll swear by the end you can smell the bathroom aerosol, but it's full of action and offers an easy to follow story line. Just remember to light a match. APRIL FOOLS
