Bionic Commando

On the latest podcast (featuring Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft, seen right) the Top Secret team issued a challenge both to ourselves, and to loyal listeners. We are laying down the gauntlet of pain, and testing our levels of gaming skills and patience.

As a commando-sized challenge for the New Year, we swear to each complete one bad or difficult game suggested to us by you, the fans, within 2008.

We'll draw the games at random during the File 009 podcast (out on February 5^th), giving us just about 11 months to complete them. So if you're keen to see how good a Capcom veteran really is, or you just want to get back at Ben Judd for ruining your childhood memories, now is the time. Use the box below to send us your suggestions.

We're looking for games that:

- are regarded as being extremely difficult and/or excruciatingly bad

-are on a platform easily available in Japan (so no Colecovisions or N-Gages please)

- are actually possible to complete (so no games with massive bugs in them preventing you from getting to the end)

- are not Big Rigs

Whichever member of the Top Secret team finishes their game first gets a special prize (what is it? You tell us!) and the loser(s) who finish last or cannot struggle up the will or skill to finish their game, will be subjected to a punishment (which we'll also make let you decide). And possibly death. Go on, break a Capcom employee.
