    NGL I'm a little surprised Conker's Bad Fur Day isn't even mentioned here, considering its level of British humor is comparable to Monty Python.

      Probably trying to diversify away from London based games because there isa lot more to England that just London. If they did one about just London or they did a follow up then it would definitely be on there.

    Be proud of your English heritage. It amazes me how west Europeans tend not to be proud of it. Be proud of your name, parents, identity, hostory and heritage. Never forgget that u dont chose your identity but sociaty gives it to you. Old Greeks knew it 2600 years ago. We dont need to ecent the wheel when others have already discover it. U started your video with a sort of falce premice. BE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY! Greetings from 🇦🇱

    “Zombi” was an interesting choice of titles seeing as how that’s the name a lot of Europe knows George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead by (not to mention Lucio Fulci’s unofficial sequel Zombi 2, aka Zombie, a horror classic in its own right).

    I think it's fair to include GTA in a list like this. Dan and Sam Houser, founders of Rockstar Games, were born in London, so there's a lot of British sort of humour in GTA. Such as the car called the "Pfister Growler"

      The problem is is that most Britiah cities are very similar. It's not like American with New York and New Orleans, Miami, LA ect. They're all visually very similar with a similar climate.
      I do drive regularly in those cities (well more so Liverpool and Manchester) extremely regularly but they are definitely better cities to pick over London. I'd argue slightly more Liverpool because it is set out a bit better than Manchester, especially for driving and does still have that sort of Gotham feel to it. Which would explain why they film Batman and Peaky Blinders and stuff there. The issue though would be no one outside Liverpool and Ireland will know what's being said
