I was thinking, since we're getting Freddy vs Jason the film soon, and Superman vs Batman was looking interesting before it was cancelled, why don't we get any cross overs with games? Personally, I'd pay very good money to see two of my favourite games get thrown together. Here's a few ideas, take note game creators -
Mario & GTA
Just imagine - Mario doesn't go around spraying water at graffiti, he goes around spraying bullets at the innocent mushroom men (I pray he takes out that annoying Toad guy) The enemy is no longer Bowser, but the long arm of the law. The magic mushrooms are now class A drugs, kooper troopers carry guns, goombas fly police helicopters and Mario doesn't get around via racoon tail, cape or water gun - he cruises around in a Honda, shooting the local gangs of fire breathing plants. Princess Toadstool is now a call girl, and for fifty bucks, Mario can save her EVERY night.
SmackDown & Jedi Knight 2
Clash of the icons - Rock vs Hogan. Instead of settling their argument with bodyslams and leg drops, they bow to each other, barely able to see through their hoods, then whip out their lightsabres. Suddenly, the 100 year old Hogan, wearing red and yellow robes, can perform triple backflips, and the Rock levitates himself towards the ladies in the audience. Luke Skywalker is the special guest referee, and the venue is no longer the Toronto Skydome, but Tatooine. The crowd of Jawas, sand people and storm troopers are firmly behind Darth Vader, who makes a run in with a steel chair to bust some skulls. It's a double disqualification when Hogan and Rock behead each other. Vader is crowned the undisputed Lord of the Sith.
Max Payne & Tekken 4
Max Payne, driven by the will to avenge his wife and child, vs some guy with long hair and pyjamas. His opponent shows off his skills, kicking the air with an amazing display of ability. Max shoots him. Game over. Well, they DO say games are getting shorter...
Hitman 2 & Soldier Of Fortune
The master of disembowelment, John Mullins, has to sneak around an area, attempting to kill people QUIETLY. You don't control John, you just have to keep hitting a button to fight his urge to whip out a heavy machine gun and run around Commando style. Extra points for those who manage to complete a level without destroying a building.
Medal Of Honour & Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet
It's time to re-write history, and I don't mean by having America win the war single handedly again. This time the marines have space ships and laser guns, and the Nazis have cavemen clubs and rocks to hurl. Omaha beach is now won by Fox McCloud walking up the beach with a grade 9 turbo charged planet killer laser gun and wiping out a small section of Normandy. Also, Hitler has been replaced with a t-rex, to make him appear more villainy... though he still has the 'tasch.
Pokemon & Fifa 2003
Yes, all your favourites characters are back, this time kicking a ball around (using Jiggly Puff as the ball) With Pikachu as Shearer, that duck thing with the headache as Beckham and that kickboxing one as Michael Owen, this game is sure to mix the tension of poke-battles and the constant non-scoring action of football. The goal mouths are replaced with pits filled with rusty spikes, so the sport is a little more interesting. Team Rocket replaces the referee, meaning EVERYONE on the pitch cheats, not just the players. The losing team is sent to a prison full of PS2 users, dying to punish the "kiddie's game" characters.
Rocky & Burnout
Rocky and Mr T couldn't settle their differences in the ring, so they're taking to the roads. Giant boxing gloves replace the bumpers, but instead of driving wrecklessly on the open road, they're given a huge empty stadium to drive around in if they so choose, just to keep the number of innocent causalities down (not that Clubber Lang cares about innocent people) Rocky's dead manager is back as the guy waving the chequered flag, and Apollo Creed also raises from the dead, to hand Rocky the bottle of Champaign after his inevitable win (the game will be rigged so Rocky always wins) Tommy Gunn shows up to try and puncture your tyres with drawing pins, but you soon manage to crush him against a wall with your car, snapping his spine.
Mark my words, if any game creators are reading this, these games will be on shelves within the year on the PS2, GameCube and, yeah... probably the X-Box too, I'm sure Gates will buy out all the companies involved.
