I feel like the life of a games journalist can be exciting and multi-faceted enough to base a game on. What do you guys think?

In this theoretical game, you control the sphincter muscles of a bull as it tries to squeeze out bigger and bigger piles of turd. It'd be a lot like QWOP where each button controls a different part of the muscle and you need to master the controls to squeeze out mroe and more as quickly as possible. Stages include E3, Comic Con, PAX and VGA's.

I'd say that pretty much sums up being an IGN editor.

lol i think you either hit your head or you want to go into that kind of work yourself.

But no there isent a game in being a gamer and having the good fortune to get paid for your opinion.

I want to say there have been some games that have covered this subject, but I can't recall their names. Not sure if they're what you're looking for, though.

Spot on lol

But this game is pretty realistic. I know Edmund from Team Meat used to make games like that. Except I think it involved a gigantic monster vagina and wasn't a commentary on anything haha.

There is a game where you actually make games in the game and simulate the conditions in how you can manage them. We don't need one for journalism

@The_Last_Ride: Having a game journalist game would bring it full circle.

You start off as a blogger making your own reviews and eventually get hired by a big game site.
