Yes a new idea for a game. Curling. The fast paced exiting sport that envolves pushing bits of rock along on ice (for those who didn't know). Curling would be a great sport game for consoles. My idea is a game called International Curling Pro where you must take on Curling teams from all over the world to try to basicly kick their butts.

There could be loads of different countries for you to play as, all with their own specific tallents. There could be all sorts of options to unlock with different types of rocks and all sorts of other funny options like turning the opposition into penguins.

This game would definatly be a hit with gaming fans of all ages and i hope that soon people all over the world will enjoy the thrills of curling.

But I know Scots are considered Brits but i no English folk helped. We may not be good at football but we can be proud of our curling achievements.

heh heh heh

P.S - It says English team won the gold in curling on the official website - someone WILL die ..... -[:-(

If Lennox Lewis or Greg Rusedski lose they're Canadian.

Yeah I know. And weren't they all Scottish?

Not that anyone cares anyway....

you fundementaly misunderstand the nationality system. If an english person wins a medal they are english. If a welsh,scotch or Northern irish person wins they are british.

If EA decide to do curling they'll have it as part of the 'Big' range.

You'll be able to dress your curlers up in baggy jeans and loose sweaters, customise appearance, and perform tricks and combos as you push your stone down the ice.

In brushing mode, points will be awarded for style, intensity of sweeping, and the number of times you can say 'Rad' and 'Wow' as you smooth the path of the stone with your brush.

Hidden teams will be available, including the 1968 Italian Men's Curling Team (the stones go forward slightly then roll backwards very quickly), the 1936 Scottish Ladies Curling Team (get to throw the stones at Adolf Hitler), and the 1984 Irish Curling Team (for stone, read potato).

Because it's done by EA and involves ice, the curlers will look strangely like Wayne Gretsky, the stones will look strangely like enlarged hockey pucks, and a red light will illuminate when a stone lands on the bullseye.

If Konami get the licence then it will be a straight forward sim.

If anyone's going to make this game it's probably gonna be EA.

Britain cannot be proud of this, they're crap!
