Pimp: The Game

It occurred to me over dinner at our favorite German restaurant that there is no game that completely embraces the Pimp Lifestyle. While it’s true that Grand Theft Auto has always incorporated some pimp elements (Usually driving hookers to meet… John) what we really need is a game that fully immerses gamers in the pimp lifestyle.

I figure if we could combine some of the customization and open plan style gaming of Will Wright’s The Sims with some traditional 3rd person action mechanics a la God of War or GTA, we’d have the start of a really intriguing title. Imagine it; you spot a particularly good looking girl who works for an office, she’s educated, she’s healthy, she’s attractive, but she has no interest in being a hooker. Until you get her hooked on crack and suddenly she’s turning those office wiles into tricks for the pricier clients that want something a little less street.

You can beat on people that beat your girls, you can wear crazy hats and outfits and you can dictate exactly what kind of policy your girls execute while on the job, all while trying to run a profitable business in the oldest industry of the world.

Heck, it may be crude, but even I have to admit, were a pimp game to come out and were it of reasonable quality, I’d buy it.
