The British Government is considering the idea of tax breaks to developers of quintessentially British games.
We at SG consider ourselves to be experts in what makes things British and decided that we could lend a hand in showing how things should change. We’ve listed how a few recent games could have netted themselves a few pounds.
Have a knees up at the chippy, after the jump. Pip pip.
Prototype:
Taking place in the 14th century, Prototype chronicles the outbreak of the Black Death in medieval England, you play as an amnesiac peasant, intent on bringing down the rule of overly taxation insistent Edward III.
inFAMOUS:
Jason Statham voices Barry Stockingtonshireworth, a postie from Shorditch in the 60’s who inadvertently causes a terrific explosion by tampering with one of his packages. Surviving the explosion he is granted with the power of electricity which he uses to power gigs by up and coming rock bands, The Beatles mention him in the sleeve notes of Help!
Red Faction Guerilla:
On planet Britannia 7, BNP members have disallowed all immigration, as someone seeking refuge from a war in another galaxy you have been shunned at the border. You claim that you have skills in a menial trade and have much to offer the society as a whole. People less intelligent than you constantly phone into radio station discussions and claim you’re causing planet-wide downfall.
50 Cent Blood on the Sand:
The reworked version of this game would have the title edited to better culturally translate, 25 Pence, Blood on the Pebbles would be a contemporary imagining of Shakespeare’s’ Hamlet, the Yorrick scene would be extended by 6 hours and very little else would be included.
The Sims 3:
Mostly kept the same, however the character creation slider for teeth would be locked at “Crooked“.

Surely 25 pence would star Tim Westwood
LOL, awesome Pillowfort. I’m not sure, I think listening to 50 Cent trying to do Shakespeare would be far too painful to listen to. I don’t remember enough about Tim Westwood, but my vote would be for Alan “Harry is my home boy” Rickman.
Brittania 7, ahh I like that one.
Maybe we could make a game where you get to stand in a massive queue just for the sheeeeeer fun of it???
you should really change the title to theres nothing about english sterotypes we don’t know. Seriously i actually found this articule extremely offensive and in bad taste.
i am so sick of americans knocking british culture. Crooked teeth? What the hell? I find it hypocritical that a person from the country with the highest obesity rate is knocking british health.
@Timewarp Actually this was written by Pillowfort… who’s from England… so yeah, it was a joke.
really? I always thought pillowfort was american! I take it back then sorry for jumping the gun there i get kinda pissed when people start knocking my nationality
Nicely done Pillowfort. I’m liking the sound of 25 Pence. “Yeah! Get’m twenny!”
I’m shocked that the flag hasn’t even been mentioned.
@Timewarp
Yh i got pissed too till’ i realized he was English, its so annoying the amount of times i’ve heard “British faggot, i can smell your teeth from here!” its like wtf? it seems every American who has xbox live is a douche, it kind of gives the country a bad rep.
