Terminator, Starsky and Hutch, even Playboy has its own game coming out soon. But what licenses have been shamefully overlooked by all? What possibilities could be realised by developers? Well, I'll tell you. That's the point of the post, duh...

THE PREMIERSHIP
No, not another football game, but in fact the first ever sports pundit simulator! Create your own ageing retired player, stick them in a suit and sit next to Ron Atkinson. If that's not enticing enough, just imagine watching a snippet of computer generated 'soccer', and picking from a long list of phrases what to say? Move up from stand-in to Ally McCoist right up to presenter of the World Cup final. But there'd be no tactics truck.

BARGAIN HUNT
Now come on, it has to happen. If tosh like The Weakest Link get games, why has the Orange Goblin and his cult hit been left off the quiz game lift? You could potter round car-boot sales with your mum or uncle, buying quaint little things and then selling them at auction. Imagine the tense air as your last item attempts to bring in a hundred pounds to beat your bessie mate in multiplayer!

I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE
I really honestly have no idea how this would work, but surely being the official game of I'm Alan Partridge and having a big picture of him on the front cover'd be worth 40 squid. I'd buy it.

SEX AND THE CITY
Choose from 'the main one', 'the old but kind of fit one', 'the frigid married one' and 'the ginger ugly one', and explore stunning digitally recreated New York. In an RPG stylee, you can chat up elligble young men and then bed them, all witihn 35 minutes.

MY FAMILY
In this FPLHCS (First Person Light Hearted Comedy Sitcom), you play Ben, a dentist. Married to an ugly shouty lady called Susan, you must attempt to make wisecracks at every opportunity, make funny faces at the geeky little kid and act disgusted with the older, funnier one. Featuring the mini-games 'hit your son with a saucepan' and 'molar replacement'.

BAYWATCH
Following in the vein of other pornographic titles such as BMX XXX, DOA Xtreme Volleyball and Colin McRae Rally 3, you can play as a random blonde big breasted bimbo in this third person action adventure. Look through binoculars and get a suntan, or maybe have a swim. Also featured are everyone's favourite - running sequences (complete with bullet time for slow mo zoom in action)...but don't get too tired with all that running or you won't have the time to save Timmy from the dolphin. Or shark. Whatever.

GREASE
I mean, why has nobody picked this up? Starting out as a Zelda imitator, walking around, talking to girls, wearing a leather jacket, it soon turns into a Dance Dance Revolution beater as everyone bursts into song and dance and you have to hit the buttons in time to stay with everyone else and not ruin the whole darn thing. Featuring voice-overs by Olivia Newton John and...John's brother, Ralph Travolta.

RESIDENT EVIL
How cool a game would that make? Zombies, lasers, guns, fit women in tight tops, running, stationary cameras, terrible controls...oh, wait. Scratch that one.

FAME ACADEMY
Do a little dancing (button bashing), singing (button bashing), songwriting (button bashing) and then just sit around (even harder button bashing). Be watched by dozens of BBC1 viewers as you pick your nose and do covers of dodgy 80s hits like "I Ran". Oh, and maybe get off with that Irish bird.

Well, wha...

Oh yeah and they should make a Countdown game.

*clears throat*

Well, what licenses would YOU like people such as EA to pick up? Reply in here. And if you liked this - thanks. Say so! :-P
