    Gaming Parody Thread

    Okay, let's get right to it. Basically, what this thread is for is picking a game that's currently in existence (on any platform, whether it be the Atari 2600 or the Xbox), take its name/concept, and turn it into something ridiculous (a la Game Informer's "R&D" section). You can make as many "versions" of games as you'd like, and if you want, you can just take a game someone else talks about and turn it around into something of your own (so, two people can make two different "versions" of God of War). Optionally, you can add the name of the game your parodying (or however you spell it), and then go off from there. Here's mine:

    Game: Burnout 3: Takedown
    Parody: Churnout 3: Shakedown
    Much like EA's newfound racing franchise, in Churnout 3, not only will you be able to ride fast cars and run them off the road, but you can finally see and feel what it's like to have your money milked out of you. Not only will the game feature a "Shakedown" mode where you lose money as you go along, every time you win a tournament, a public service announcement pops up stating that you have wasted $50 on what you are playing. The game is so proud of this feature that it'll make you clip your credit cards, too! EA also implemented a tool that allows you to customize broken-down ghetto cars that force you to plunge into the world of Churnout 3 from its lame storyline to non-existent car physics, Projects racing at its finest. Not only can you design Coupes that pull to the left every time you drive in a straight line, but you can also make cars that have sputtering engines and brakes that lock for no apparent reason. Seriously, the world of racing will never be the same again.

    And, that's it. I can't wait to hear one about "Rogue Agent." That game is already a parody of the legendary "Goldeneye 007."

      Game Informer's a bad thing? Wait...this doesn't have anything to do with the score they gave RPGM2, right?

        no, they're just extremely stupid and not really informed about anything.

        they started going downhill around the same time they used an entire editorial column to publicly bash akira toriyama because he wouldnt let them use his chrono trigger art on their cover.

          Bashing Toriyama is suicide in the anime/video game industry. How could they be so stupid?

            I don't know too much about that, but I do know what you mean. I have seen some instances where Game Informer criticised games/people/topics. What's weird is that they hail most games in their previews only to bash them in their reviews.

            But, does this mean for this topic? It was a bad idea? I did mention Game Informer, but it wasn't like I was giving them credit.

                  EGM is the best pure gaming magazine I've seen.

                    If you loved Doom 3, you'll love this!
                    id Software has teamed up with Nintendo to create Mario's In Trouble! You know how Nintendo likes throwing Mario in every franchise possible!

                    Instead of being a first-person shooter, though, it's a third-person shooter, that way everybody will still see that they're playing as Mario! There'll be weapons ranging from the regular Fireball to the Bob-omb Grenades to the Spiny Launcher! You'll have to go up against the likes of the Undead Koopa Troopas, Blood Thirsty Goombas, and Bloopers! Visit scenic locals like Hot Hot Volcano and Wario's Golden Castle! The goal is to save Princess Peach from marrying Giga Bowser (you know, the version of Bowser from Smash Bros. Melee, which should be made a boss in a Mario game)! If Mario fails, he'll be flushed down the Toilet That No Plumber Can Fix!
                    "What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."

                      Game Informer's okay for the myriad of WORLD EXCLUSIVES they get and their screenshots and previews are blameless. I GUESS.

                      Macaroni Cheese Solid: Tactical Lunch Action
                      Genre: Stealth Action
                      Players: One
                      Rating: Teen

                      The 11:45 bell rings!! And you know what that means. It's been 4+ hours since you had that stale and crumbly breakfast bar and now you desire some real meat. But what should you do? Go to your locker and drop your books off? Run straight for the cafeteria and hope to cut off the crowd? Cut in line? Wait like a pansy? Order Chinese? Find a yet another NEW place to sit with your friends again? And don't forget about that bully Leroy and his gang, VOX-SOUND! They might steal your money again. =(

                      MCS, the latest opus by Blideo Schmojima, casts you in the tennis shoes of Solid Mark, run-of-the-mill sophomore at Hallowed Roses High School, where you must regain your stamina by chowing down on a variety of foods that you must gather and purchase, and maintain your reputation by hitting on chicks, getting in psuedo-intellectual conversations with kids who wear black, going to your Spanish tutor and, of course, KICKING TAIL. All during recess!!!!??!?

                      Can you stop Leroy and VOX-SOUND from ruining your lunch yet again? Can you avert their plans to completey take over the commons and ruin lunch for EVERYONE? It's up to you, as Solid Mark, to traverse a free-roaming school (and its surrounding environs like a football field and pizza parlor!) choosing your methods of transportation (skateboard? bike? Grandpa's beat-up jalopy?), communicating with your support group via Walkie-talkie and eavesdropping on the gossip that could possibly harm or help you!! Hide behind corners and in lockers and in bathrooms! Or go all out, fists and bus passes blazing!

                      IT'S UP TO YOU. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR MACARONI AND CHEESE?

                      WE LIKE OURS SOLID.

                        SILENT EVIL RESIDENT

                        You are a former cop from Silent Hill, retired and living in a Racoon City nursing home that's been infected with a demonic zombie plague. Your 4-pack-a day smoking habit keeps the infection from spreading, but you cannot stop chain smoking or you will DIE.

                        Thanks to the hidden weapons under your matress, you are armed and ready to kill everything that's actually able to be killed. You will be assaulted with random goofy ass puzzles and zombie demon/demon zombie enemies that all want to eat your face. Thankfully, someone scattered bullets and healing items around. You blame the democrats.

                        Finally, you will be faced with shocking revelations and FMVs. At the end, you will wonder why you left your room instead of just commiting suicide or making a sandwich.

                        You will forget everything that happened two days later anyway, and go off to be a pig farmer in Illinois.

                            Nice to see everyone's going with the topic. I got another one...

                            Game: Fax Payne
                            Concept: You play as a detective named Fax Payne. Much like Max Payne, you will run, jump, and gun your way through the streets of New York City, trying to get faxes out to all the good business out there. Not only will you be able to shootdodge around bullets from unsuspecting folk who hate secretaries, you will also be able to slow down time for maximum effect when getting your fax papers to the door. The story also starts off as an overconvoluted hodgepodge of stuff that no one wants to hear before plunging you into the actual gameplay. Excited? You should be!

                            "January 25, 2007...I came home from the NYPD squad to find my gun tucked away under a translucent decedent over a foggy gray cloud that blocked my view of the monkeys running around my living room wearing nothing but cheese graters and footballs that have bloody handprints on them, signifying to me that raccoons lurked somewhere within the bowels of California with messages printed onto their sheepskin laced interiors of their garbage disposal bins lined with lime-colored drapes and banana-yellow couch arm coverings and guns labeled 'Have A Nice Day.' My analysis: I have no idea what the hell I just said." Take THAT, Hideo Kojima!

                            I've seen the screenshots for this game Repressed Memories Gaming Magazine, and I have to say, the gameplay looks fantastic. Not only will Fax deliver messages and telegrams to the extreme, he will also look stylish standing at a copier and printing out the same office drivel for fifteen straight hours!

                              Sadly enough, that's what the narration boils down to in Max Payne.
