Games I was going to develop but ran out of enthusiasm for

Tome Reader - Laura Craft is a respected 50 year old librarian, known amongst her peers for her maverick approach to book sorting and her completely unrevealing outfits. Guide Laura as she explores libraries around the world in such exotic locations as London, Paris, and a small town outside of Paris, in her quest to find an out of print copy of some old reference book or something.

The Fast and the Frustrated - Assume the role of Joel Summers, ace street racer and local grocery store clerk, as he competes in a wild and illegal race across America against some of the most powerful supercars in the world, in his 1985 Honda Accord. Feel Joel's frustration in real time as he is constantly overtaken by other racers and regular members of the public after having spent his entire life savings on the race entrance fee. Features exciting mini games such as 'sleeping in your car in a dodgy suburb', 'gazing longingly at better but unaffordable cars in the car showroom' and 'negotiating with local mechanics to gaffer tape the exhaust back into place rather than pay for a new one'.

Call of Brotherly Men to Arms in Fields of Duty Who Do Shadowy Operations - Shoot at some men who are also soldiers or terrorists or liberals perhaps using a variety of guns. Then shoot at some more. There might be a tank or an explosion as well.

Pacmen - The spiritual successor to the classic game 'Pacman', 'Pacmen' features the same classic gameplay with the addition of online competitive and co-operative multiplayer modes, new power ups, expanded maps and varied new ghost enemies with intelligent behaviours. Wait, this is actually a good idea. Hasn't somebody thought of this already?

Wii Cinema - Simulate the thrill and excitement of a trip to the cinema with Wii Cinema, the world's first fully immersive cinema simulator! Using the Wiimote, control every aspect of your cinema experience, including navigating to your seat in the dark, choosing which bit of the screen to focus on after realising you sat way too close to it, fiddling with your 3D glasses and getting a neck cramp trying to sit higher after a really tall person sits in front of you right at a good bit.

Call of Brotherly Men to Arms in Fields of Duty Who Do Shadowy Operations 2: Killforce - Like the first game, but released a year later. Features slightly different weapons and levels, and a bit where you shoot at racial stereotypes to rock music in the future.

The Reality Game - Pit your wits against the shadowy overlord known as 'Your line manager' as you travel through the dystopian kingdom of 'the office' searching for the paperwork of the ancients. Recruit a party of adventurers to join you including Dave the wizard, Megan the hypochondriac and Susan the disinterested intern, each with unique abilities and unexciting backstories. Level up your character through a series of complex minigames including 'failing your performance assessment', 'getting passed over for promotion' and 'being told to get on with your job instead of writing stuff for your rubbish blog that no one reads anyway'.

The Growing Up And Getting On With Your Life Game - okay, that's enough.
