Before I start I don't really have loving feelings to any particular company or game and I am doing this on my limited knowledge so don't hassle me you damn dirty gamers.

So lets throw some things in my creative bucket that is my brain... bit of Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Sonic, Mario and whatever else I can think of gaming related.

Lets get the easy one out the way and start with Nintendo... Hmmm now just to deceide what to do... Ah got it, lets use that English technique... you know the one where you make something into another thing... ah well lets go.

Lets set the scene in a field in Summer, a family at a picnic... go on picture it.

Nintendo would be pulled out the picnic basket in the form of a marshmallow (don't ask me why I picked that).

Well lets see marshmallows are usually pink... there usually CUBED shaped. They are also very soft... very very soft, they can be very sweet and if its your sort of thing, they could be cuddly. The demand for them is by young children with there first gaming tooth, errr sweet tooth.

Lets go onto Sega... Sega would be pulled out the basket first and would be in great demand. It would be in the form of a strawberry. It is ripe and full of juice (ie. full of ideas )and everyone wants one but once they've had their first few ones they become sick of it and look deeper into the basket for something new to tickle the tastebuds... alas the strawberrys are shoved aside (until later perhaps?).

Sony comes out near the end of the lunch era, maybe a sellection of chocolates... fresh and expensive... gaming tooth refreshed, although the choice of selection may not be to everyones taste and for a sequel it only changes the colour of chocolates from milk to dark with a few new flavours... maybe has a chocolate covered marshmallow.

Microsoft would come out last but flushes everything else down. It would be Coca Cola... it has the market for a certain area of refreshment but is the odd one out in the other area (ie. food and drink, gaming and errr non-gaming). It has lots of advertising and money to invest and would therfore interest the family to try.

As for Sonic, he would be a hedgehog on acid running around the strawberries and Mario, well Mario would be a fat Italien Plumber standing in the field for no reason.

Heh that was pretty damn good, and they say I can't do imagery in English.
