Boring.
With your host Swith

Videogames affect your behaviour. They make even the most seemingly rational people evoke lifestyle change merely by their influence. You just have to look at all the Katamari Damacy knitting patterns and costumes to see how tragic this influence can be.

So before we all have one more go at Bubbles and go and whiz around in the kitchen sink on our naked arses, let’s look at the alternative: Boring games.

What if we were only allowed to make games that wouldn’t stimulate or entertain. If games companies could only make parochial, half arsed titles? This month, our gallant readers were set the challenge to come up with some boring games.

And that’s the best of the bunch. I must encourage you to look at the original threads though, there were an absolute torrential shit-load of entries this month. A special mention must be given to Mugsy over at the Rodent forum. He may take a while recovering from this month.

Next month, we’d like you to make for us designs for your ultimate controller. The controller that suits YOUR specific gaming lifestyle.

Wish there was an ashtray on your gamepad? A button to call Benson? A special controller with elastic return mechanism just for those ‘throw the controller at the wall’ moments? Make it so.
