Football games are possibly the most boring race of games alive. Play win after win after win may entertain mindless people like ~Res~ but most smart people get bored after their 16th goal in that half.

I, Tribute, have decided to change the face of Football gaming as we know it. Armed with ideas stolen from various other games, I plan to make a game and market it as original, just as Microsoft did with HALO.

So what have I got instore to bore the hell out of you with? Well just take a peek...

(International Shooting Soccer)

Think of David Beckham running down the wing, about to deliver the cross which will more than likely win England the world cup. He lifts his leg up, looks into the box to be greeted with a montage of bullets which make him fall to the floor, screaming like one of the clangers. That is correct, Football with guns.

I know, Red Card has already kind of done this, but not nearly as funny. Imagine being able to nuke the whole Germany team whilst playing a friendly with them. This takes revenge to a whole new level.

You start off with just a handgun and a few bullets. As you kill more stars (The Bigger The Better) your guns get better as you progress onto ones like Snipers and Shotguns. The last one you get is a nuclear warhead which causes mass destruction. For use at Old Trafford then? Of course.

The aim of the game is still, of course, to win by as many goals as possible, but mowing down the opposition with a machine gun is a secondary objective.

With football players becoming more an more like fashion icons nowadays, what better than to choose what your player wears. May not sound like much, but the beauty is that you can do ANYTHING you want with your selected star.

Want your football player to get a skin head? Done! Want him to wear high heels? Done! Want him to go around the town centre wearing nothing but a smile (with optional censoring of course)? Done!

The press will decide what is cool and what is a fashion faux pas though, and if you pull off a colour co-ordinated combo it will show with your vibrant performances on the pitch. Wear a Hawain Top and some shorts and your player will become worse than Diego Forlan on bad form*

You take control of an Italian Sunday league team who, although are overly plump, have the uncanny ability to jump very high.

In the Italian Sunday league things are different. Very Different. Instead of having a straight head to head match up, it is the first team who can get the ball around KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAZZZY obsticle courses. If you succeed then you'll get a 'Hey That's MINE'.

If you collect enough shines you'll be able to play 'Inter Mario' who has a backpack. Ra!

I remember this post - i Was sooo proud of it at the time, and was certain it'd win GAD. In retrospect it was little more than a few paragraphs worth of mindless rubbish. Maybe I should do this again. maybe. But, alas, it was a crap idea from the start, and should never have gone online. But who cares? Not me.

That was.. er.. different, but nonetheless a nicely put together spoof. Pretty funny too, especially that Halo joke!
