From the British indie Landslide, which includes developers who worked on the *Grand Theft Auto* series and *Wipeout*, comes *Criminalympics*, a crime-sports lark very much in the Rockstar vein. The game – which is [looking for 100,000 pounds on Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1723321739/criminalympics?ref=killscreen.com) – takes places in something called the “Staten Island ghetto prison camp” where convicted criminals compete to do crimes better and faster in front of a *Running Man* style television audience. This is funny because I think it is British people’s impression of Staten Island, which is actually not a ghetto prison camp but a conservative Republican prison camp, but never mind.

Events include the Molotov Cocktail Throw, Swimming with Concrete Boots, Witness Removal, Prison Wall Vault and more. For those of us with a fond memory of Rockstar’s [*State of Emergency*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State%5Fof%5FEmergency%5F%28video%5Fgame%29?ref=killscreen.com) halcyon days (err, me), this game looks incredible.
