My Ten Games That Would Benefit From the Inclusion of a Rodeo Clown

So we’ve been talking a lot about site features for the full site launch today and, at some point, we started talking about the lists feature. This, naturally, led to me talking about rodeo clowns and games that should have them. Much like Ryan’s top game ghosts list, here’s my list of games that, for reasons I will keep to myself, would totally benefit from the inclusion of a rodeo clown.

Street Fighter IV (arcade)

Army of Two (360, PS3)

The Guy Game (PS2, Xbox)

Silent Hill 4: The Room (PS2, Xbox, PC)

World of Warcraft (PC)

Chiller (NES, arcade)

Uno (360)

Time Traveller (arcade)

Star Castle (arcade)

Night Trap (Sega CD, 3DO)

…and yeah, we’ll talk more about the lists at a later date.

    Silent Hill 4 eh? I didnt think it could get any scarier, but that’s some freaky thinking there.

    Solid Top Ten List. It provides for great discussion in the highly controversial topic of rodeo clowns in video games. Great stuff, G. Keep ‘em coming.

    Dude, yeah. What could possibly makes rodeo clowns better? Zombie rodeo clowns, that’s what. In fact, chiller shouldn’t only contain rodeo clowns, it should be about and revolve around rodeo clowns period. :)

    Burnout Paradise would rock with a Rodeo Clown.

    Make him DJ Atomica for the bonus.

    Clowns just aren’t meant to do rodeo anyway, still I would put one in KISS PSYCHO CIRCUS… wait a minute, there already were blood-thirsty clowns in the game. This wouldn’t even seem strange. :D

    I’d like to see a rodeo clown in Soul Calibur 4.. They already threw in 2 totally random characters (Darth Vader and Yoda.. wtf?), so why not throw in a rodeo clown or 2?

    How about:

    Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009 (bring back Doink and give him a lasso)

    Trauma Center (rodeo-related injuries)

    Clowns (the old Atari game where you use a spinner to bounce clowns on a see-saw into balloons — that game would be much better at a rodeo)

    God of War II (duh!)

    Sims 2: Rodeo Stuff

    Just make a rodeo game that has you playing as the clown. You could live the thrill of attracting a pissed off bull’s attention, diving into a barrel, and holding on for dear life as the bull rams the barrel with all the force of a howitzer shot.

    Seriously, I wouldn’t want to mess with a rodeo clown. Those dudes are tough.

    They would have to be the rodeo clowns from “Shakes the Clown.” Knowing that you’re a film connesuir(sp we) I’m sure that you’ve screened this diamond in the rough in your cinematic adventures. The guy who does the voice of SpongeBob as a coke head rodeo clown = movie magic.

    You seem to have forgotten Mass Effect.
    The option to engage in graphic, cross-species relations involving aliens of varying hues and rodeo clowns would be just the ticket for the industry to corrupt the innocent minds of every child gamer out there.

    That and Pong. Pong definitely needs an updated Rodeo Clown Edition.

    Chiller (Arcade) is insane.

    Google it, you’ll see what I mean. It’s “torture porn” for gamers. *From the early 80s*.

    Rodeo Clowns are one of the most dangerous breed of clown (derived from the latin word clowninus). They are neither funny nor forgiving, living a life of the alternative target for long horned bulls tend to condition rodeo clowns into what some may say are “the perfect living weapon.”

    Usually traveling in groups of three, Rodeo Clowns and their bull-taunting tactics are banned in 32 states and should be approached with extreme caution.

    There should never be clowns in my video games. I’m almost 20 years old and they still scare the hell out of me.
