The recent World Cup incident has rebranded one of soccer's key players; forevermore, Luis Suarez is BiteMan. Turned into a game that is very reminiscent of the retro arcade game PacMan, it shows the Uruguayan footballer gobbling up a bunch of Giorgio Chiellini heads as he tries to evade the red flags of four referees. But once they do catch up to him, he is muzzled for good.
A nickname that won't soon be forgotten, Luis Suarez is BiteMan in a game that will also be played for some time yet. Created by ACHTUNG!, a creative agency based in Amsterdam, it seems like the Italian defender will also be going down in history. Perhaps he'll need shots.
