Bring blue skies back to games!

By supporting UKR's campaign.

Eurogamer's favourite gaming site that isn't Eurogamer, UK Resistance, has launched a new campaign to bring blue skies back to games.

As explained on the campaign page, UKR believes that "Games need BLUE SKIES! Games need BRIGHT YELLOW SUNS! Games need RED AND BLUE THINGS in them!

"We want to play in a HAPPY PRETEND LAND, not a sh-- version of an American slum full of mixed-race gangsters wearing licensed sportswear!"

The Blue Sky In Games campaign has the full backing of Eurogamer, especially the bits about roast chicken, red shoes and plinky-plink music. We're bored of games about guns and drugs and prostitutes. Yes all right The Warriors was quite good but let that be an end to it. Bring back blue skies! Also can we have a DS version of New Zealand Story. Thanks.
