Xenoblade Chronicles has nothing to do with Britain but the voices sure are refreshing, so I'm saying that.

Tomb Raider 3 moreso than the others too. Had Lara down in Aldwych and St. Pauls Cathedral as a bonus level.

That's why i picked that one specifically.

Discworld, Skool Daze/Back to Skool

There's a Discworld game?

All the Fables seem pretty damn British.

This is what I was expecting on page one. The Fable series is so so British

 

[Bergerac]

Not British developed but Papers, Please is quintessential British sensibility.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Being born on the wrong side of the channel,

used to represent for me the apex of englishness in videogaming.

It's not stereotypically British, but I'd like to nominate Granny's Garden. If you are British and somewhere in your 30s, you know it.

this exact image gave me nightmares for over 10 years and was the reason I could never sleep with my back to the door

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

Conker's BFD

This is also my vote.

[ElectronicOldMen]

The GTA games. Think about it.

 

[wideface]

NotGTAV

(It's actually not a bad game!)

 

[Pinky]

The Fable games.

 

[Thanati]

Hard to say really. Considering that over 30% of today's gamin companies originated in the UK, loads have British traits

 

[shaowebb]

HENRY HATSWORTH. No contest.
My word, just listen to him speak. Its a language concocted entirely of British mannerisms and sounds and no real sentences. Its like if Zelda gibbers from NPC's had an accent.

 

[BGBW]

Bloody Cheggers will do anything for a paycheque.

Just be thankful he doesn't get his willy out in this.

 

[eso76]

Contradiction: Spot the Liar

Just look at the main character's face

Ah, the game by Tim Follin.
Thanks for reminding me, I still need to pick this up and support the Follin.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Holy shit I think I owned this

 

[Victarion]

Ether One.

[NoblesseOblige]

It's even in the title.

The Speccy was a veritable trove of very British games, for obvious reasons.

I submit this one, by my beloved Don Priestley (author of Trap Door, perhaps my favorite Spectrum game):

The man was a sorcerer when it came to creating huge, detailed, colorful sprites on the ZX with almost no color clash.

From Wikipedia:

Gameplay[edit]
The player controls the flunky as he moves around Buckingham Palace, carrying out orders that members of the Royal Family will give him. The flunky can only be given one task to do at a time. The solutions needed to complete the tasks range from the correct use of items in the correct places to tasks requiring skillful playing more reminiscent of action games.

Royals[edit]
The members of the Royal Family who are featured in this game include:

The Prince of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales
The Duke of York
The Duchess of York
The Queen

 

[How About No]

Siren's western voice-over. Rural Japan has never been so Britty.

 

[OmegaFax]

Probably this? Doctor Who is as British as it gets. I didn't know they even made a Wii or DS game based off of the license. It didn't see the light of day in the US.

 

[archangelmorph]

Definitely this little bad boy...

Certainly played the cray out of this as a kid...

About as british as you can get...

I was very saddened by not seeing it on fisrt page.
Thank you, kind sir.

 

[Cave Johnson]

Grand Theft Auto: Stoke.

I laughed at this.

Fuck; I went through 4 pages thinking I would have something no one posted, but you had to go and take it

 

[Unaha-Closp]

if its not on the ZX Spectrum (that's Zed Ex you yanks not Zee Ex!) then it doesn't qualify for this question

 

[HyperZone<3]

which, keep in mind, was based on the Micheal Caine version of the film (not hugely well known in the Americas) and predates the Mark Whalberg-led remake. Made by a British developer, plays 'Rule Britannia' at the successful conclusion of each mission, and features a halfway decent Micheal Caine impersonation for its narration.

The Micheal Caine impersonation itself being a sort of uniquely British phenomenon.

You didn't even mention the source of his power, mother flippin tea time:

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Assassin's Creed Unity.

 

[djtiesto]

Gameplay-wise - isometric perspectives or challenging 2D platformers with meandering, maze-like levels and lots of collectibles instantly make me think "British".
