I've just rented out Hogs of War for the Playstation and I thoroughly enjoy playing it.

The game play is quality and some of the comments these little pigs make are hilarious!

What made me write about this was the amount of games that have their main character/s as animals. Why is this?

Is it more fun controlling a porky little piglet than a brave fighting soldier?

We have fur fighters, banjo and kazooie, sonic the list goes on.....

These are great games and just wouldn’t be the same if the characters wre human. A speedy blue hedgehog is pleasing to the eye and pretty funny too.

These games let our imaginations run free because in real life the situations that these animals are in would just not happen! I mean have *you* ever seen a hedgehog run like sonic?! Don’t answer that! :-)

Are we going to see more games in the future involving animals in them, and if so what kind of animals?

Will we soon be seeing "Simon the Stick Insect"?!

Personally I don’t think so, But I do know one thing.....

Sonic the Hedgehog is always gonna be around!

Terrible isn't it? We could make games of the inspector iguana series...

Of course, I'll send the stories to anyone who doesn't know what I'm on about =P

Yes, this really is an important issue in our society today.

It needs serious investment by large companies to help support the (alomst extinct) iguanas of this world!
