Apparently our iTunes numbers from the UK were NOT bogus. UK has overtaken Japan as the number 2 video game market in the world. This is great news. Fantastic news! This means that perhaps, developers will begin crafting games with a more British vibe to them, or even modify a few current projects to better reflect the tastes and culture of the kingdom.
I wonder what kind of games those would be?I am fairly certain that, now that we’ve got a new number 2 to the US in video game and console sales, it won’t be long before we see titles like these. (Semi-secret Killzone 2 Demo Code: AG4T-AGBC-CQE4)
1. Cabela’s Fox Hunt
2. Extreme Cricket
3. Need For Speed: Driving on the Left
4. SimDentist (Sorry guys…. I had to)
5. Far Cry 3: The Lost African Colonies
Perhaps you can think of a few comebacks or titles that you think might benefit from a little British influence?
On a serious note, though, its nice to see the hunch we’ve all had at Sarcastic Gamer about the rising tide of UK gaming, quantified and confirmed.

Zing!
I’d like to see Sim Hospital revisited in a UK style. It’d be a free download available to everyone, but you’d have to join a waiting list to get hold of it sometime within 3 years and when you do get it, there’s a chance all your patients will just get more illnesses than they started with.
Grand Theft Auto: Stoke-on-Trent
Oh and… IndependenceCraft. An RTS in which you control Her Majesty’s navy and must annihilate any traitors to the crown fleeing to the Americas! Except you inevitably fail miserably… You know that was supposed to be a bite back at Doc from an Englishman but it’s really kinda backfired… D’oh…
Woop UK!
Fallout 3: Operation Sherbzz…unless you’re one of my friends you probably won’t understand. Basically some of my friends live in this town called Sherburn-in-Elmet, and it’s pretty chavvy and they themselves sometimes admit it’s a bit of a dump, and we constantly joke about that, doing stupid things like when we look at a photo of a warzone in history we would say “Oh look, it’s Sherburn on a friday night!” We’re very mature you see :p. I can just see it now, exploring the Sherburn Wasteland, blasting chavs away with VATS, it would be great
I’d like to see a revision to the sim theme park games, replaced with post offices and chemists. The aim would be to sustain your place in the queue as long as possible, extra points for passive-aggressively tackling queue-jumpers. Once you get to the front of the queue there’s a bonus game for holding up the counter as long as you possibly can.

I reckon GTA : London II is more likely!
Terrible Cooking Mama
Bloodrayne Pudding
Colonial Overlord
NHS: Waiting
Halo Tea
Rock Band 2 Expensive
Battle field: Jolly good company
Hey! We drive on the left in Australia too!
Mario games would definitely be a non starter, no one could afford a game based on British plumbers.
We don’t care for your insults, we can take it. Especially as we know all the Americans are obese racists who turn up late for wars. :p
