The guys at Joinkers have put out a game that just might get them sued into oblivion—Rihanna’s Revenge.

In case you couldn’t care less about celebrity gossip, formerly squeaky-clean singer Chris Brown was recently arrested for beating up his girlfriend, fellow singer Rihanna.  There’s a whole lot of drama circling that particular drain including things like “she threw his car keys down the road provoking him” and “she gave him the herpes that she got from Jay-Z”, (not that any of that is some kind of excuse, though some will make a self-defense case out of the whole herpes thing) but what it all boils down to is he’s facing felony charges and she’s planning to take him back.

And if that incenses you, take a run at Rihanna’s Revenge, a quick little Flash game where you can throw left jabs, right jabs, combos and uppercuts at Chris Brown’s poor little easily damageable head.  The animations are clearly the best part of the game, and there’s something to be said for the rapid gameplay that requires you to beat the clock even as you beat the Chris.

There are those that complain about the game’s lack of replay value, that it’s too simplistic and too thoroughly pointless to provide a good time.  And yes, it’s true—this is really only good for a couple plays.  This wasn’t meant to be a replacement for a monster RPG.  This was meant to be a quick little punch brawler to take advantage of a major chunk of celebrity gossip.  This may well be a textbook example of a flash-in-the-pan title; it’s not meant to be anything useful or entertaining after the gossip event that fuelled it boils off into the blogosphere.
