I think it would be a great thing if Adult Swim Comedy shows such as Home Movies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, SeaLab 2021, and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast could have Video Games released in stores for the Playstation2,Gamecube, and X-Box.
I personally would buy a Home Movies 'Soccer With Mcgurk' game.
Image him yelling at the players while you act as one of the home movies characters and play off against one another while Brendon Talks to the Coach..Coach McGurk ;).
Well, its only an idea, but I think Cartoon Nwtwork should make some for the fans...I'm sure they would sell at least a fair amount of copys. :)

I remember a while ago, Nintendo came out with a South Park game for N64. I've never played it, but I hear it is pretty good.

Acclaim made South Park, it eventually went to PSX. I'd love tom mplay a Sealab/Brak Show/ATHF fighting game.

ASC is still way too underground to have a commerical video game made after it

How about Brak Headkicker for GBA, with a Baloon Stage Sealab 2021 game on it.

There was recently a Ripping Friends game made for the Gameboy Advance. But, if reveiws are to be trusted, it's really bad. (http://www.gamespy.com/reviews/october02/rippinggba/) (A score of 38 out of 100. Yikes.)
They even mention AS in the review linked:
The Ripping Friends are just making their US debut on the Cartoon Network's very hip late night "Adult Swim" series.
"Very hip" indeed. ;)
If I could get anyone who's good with art to draw the graphics, I could make a game based on any ASC show. :)
Programming is fun. :D

Feng Shui Fighters!
Actually, I think that an Aqua Teen Hunger Force could actually be an entertaining video game.

Nah, it was a bad Turok knock-off, the concept was decent but the controls SUCKED. It was good for a rental for the novelty value and the humor-- some of the weapons were pretty funny, for example they brought back the hypno-ray the the aliens gave the cows at the end of the pilot episode-- but overall the game stunk.
I dunno, it's hard to think what the OBJECT would be in a game based off of any of the current ASC shows. A Home Movies game would never work, it could never capture the humor of the show in my opinion. Aqua Teen Hunger Force would probably work best, as long as they didn't try to make it 3D.
The only thing i can think of what they can do with games based on Home Movies, Sealab and ATHF is either:
(1)one of those point and click adventure games like Monkey Island ->this would work great with Sealab and ATHF
(2) or full of dialogues and options with cut scenes( like hentai games and those dating simulation games from Japan) ->this would be good for Home Movies since HM has so many dialogues.
Or you can have the cliche racing game starring all the casts from ASC.
Space Ghost will not work as video games, maybe a board game for trivia but that wouldn't be too fun either.

You're missing the obvious... Futurama, a new arrival to AS, has a game coming around February.

I never get why canned shows get video games and merchandising deals... why not during the show? If it's popular enough to merit making a game or two dozen different shirts out of, why did you cancel it???
