I was wondering around FB this afternoon and I was presented with an
advert that promises to be the perfect gift for all dog lovers.

The game is a board game about "walking all your favourite dogs".

So you sit on your backside playing a game that is about walking a dog
instead of actually performing the deed?

Anyone else come across games that make no logical sense?

Cheers

Madden NFL or any sports game?
Any flight or driving simulator?
Any 'real world business' simulators like Lawn Mower simulator? PC
Builder?

I mean, if you get right down to it, pretty much all games can -
ultimately - be categorized as 'doing something silly rather than
performing the actual deed in real life'. Even games like Quake are -
if you get right down to it - little more than ultra-violent
alternatives to a game of Tag.

And I'm fine with that. Sometimes I don't want to get up. I have a
nice comfy chair for a reason ;-P

At the moment it is a board game but there are implications that it will
become a PC game.

I suppose it depends on what one likes. Personally, I like strategy
because that gives me a chance to try different things and see how they
turn out.
