Kim Kardashian Video Game Still Riding Strong; Forbes Gushes Over Kim Kardashian Net Worth, EPA Tweets `Kim Kardashian: Hollywood’ Rankings

Kim Kardashian's newly released video game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, is on its way to being the biggest video game success of the year. "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" is projected to make $200 million this year and it's only been out for just over a month.

The Kardashian empire continues to grow as the public gets continually hypnotized by every detail of the famous for being rich family's every move. Kim Kardashian is so hot everything she touches sizzles. The reality-TV star has successfully launched a clothing empire, a jewelry dynasty and a cosmetics monarchy.

The Kim Kardashian video game, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," a new extremely popular game app, gives regular people a chance to see what it's like to be an "A-List" celebrity. The become as famous as Kim K in Hollywood, she advises players to pose for some photo shoots, attend a few parties, seduce a couple of other celebrities' boyfriends. Flirting gets you points because "dating famous people will get you more fans."

Kim Kardashian is the star of "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," which you can download for free on your iPhone and iPad. But if you want to keep up with the Kardashians you have to spend money on in-app purchases.

The app is also getting free publicity. Even the U.S. EPA has been promoting "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood." An EPA spokesperson told FOX411, "An EPA fellow inadvertently triggered an auto-generated tweet. She regrets the error and has been advised on the sensitivities of using social media."

Since the new Kim K video dropped on June 25, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" jumped to the second highest, most-downloaded free-to-play games at Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s U.S. App Store.  The app's "freemium" model nearly doubled Glu Mobile Inc.'s share price since the game was released on June 25.

Glu Mobile's Chief Executive Officer Niccolo de Masi said in an interview "It might be our biggest game of the year. We're not surprised. Kim is a one-of-a-kind talent with an incredibly precise fit to the game engine that we tailored but already had in the company." Kim Kardashian has not given a statement surrounding her thoughts on the video game on possibly being the biggest  app of the year.

Cowen and Co.'s Doug Creutz raised his price target on Glu from $6 to $10 and raised fiscal-year revenue target for Glu from $159.5 million and to $212 million.

Creutz wrote in a statement "We believe that Glu has turned a corner with respect to game monetization following the highly successful launches of 'Deer Hunter 14′ in September 2013 and 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood' in June 2014. Both titles reached the top 10 grossing smartphone games in the U.S. following launch, by far the best performances of any Glu titles to date."

Kim Kardashian earned $28 million in the past 12 months, according to Forbes.
