'Devil Cop' and other made-up game titles (and covers)

Before I continue, I have to share the premise of the made-up title (Devil Cop) mentioned in the header: "Play as a half-man, half-demon who uses his satanic powers for good by tracking down evildoers in the city, foiling their criminal plots and arresting them."

Is it wrong that I find that pretend premise more interesting than the premises of most of the real games that have been released in the last few years?

Anyway, that's not the point of this post. What is the point? To get you to check out K. Nelson's gnarly Made Up Video Game site. Each week, the site shines the spotlight on a piece of cover art--created by Nelson--that's based on a game idea (actually, a title and description) submitted by a reader.

Although all of Nelson's creations are well worth your attention, I suggest you begin by checking out Andrew Lloyd Webber's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: THE GAME, H.P. Lovecraft's Zany Mini Golf and Spelling Champion: Earn My Love.

The Golden Age of Hyrule?! I'd buy a hundred copies of that!

His description for Deranged Puzzle made me laugh til I choked!

Okay...so all of this pales in comparison to the Syphony of the Night entry...oh. My. GOD! Hysterical! I think I have a new second-favorite site.

I found a little lost letter "m" roaming around. I think he belongs somewhere in the above comment...

It *is* a great site, isn't it? And *all* of the covers and descriptions are a hoot if you ask me. I esp. like Spelling Champion: Earn My Love.

BTW, what's up with *your* blog, Justin? Too busy to update these days (completely understandable) or do you just need a break? Come back soon!

I just needed a break, honestly. I had nothing to say, really...and I've been training full time, so I haven't been home much. If nothing else, I'm supposed to have Tuesdays off here soon...so maybe I'll be a faithful blogger on those days.

I completely understand. Everyone needs a break now and then. In the meantime, enjoy your time off!
