Why aren't I a game designer?

With it Gears Of War 2, Fable II, Call Of Duty 5 : World At War, Dead Space, Football Manager 2009, Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 all out now or in the next two weeks it is an expensive time to be a gamer. Well a gamer with an addictive personality who constantly suffers from burning a hole in the pocket syndrome.

As such I propose to save time and money the games should be combined into one genre breaking experience; 'The Fable of Gears Of War Fallout into Dead Space causing the Football Manger to head the Call Of Duty a Far Cry from home 2025 (2+5+II+2009+2+3)'

How could a game encompassing so many of modern gaming's great ideas fail? Imagine choosing your line up to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final and picking a chainsaw wielding Marcus Fenix at left back, deploying a tactical airstrike at half time then roguishly taunting the locals at the post match press conference.

Think of the excitement of striding out across a barren post-apocalyptic landscape in search of the latest under 21 hot shot goalkeeper, fighting off nightmarish creatures from the darkest regions of outer space to get the signature on the contract before The Jackal gets there first

Seriously how could it fail?
