That's right, folks! Today is St. George's Day! For those of you who don't know it, and I assume I am speaking to my hot dog-eating American readers, allow me to tell you a heroic tale. St. George is on his travels, doing your typical adventure-type things, when he stumbles across a town which is plagued by a dragon which loves nothing more than childburgers. So what does any budding hero do? He gives it a bloody good hiding with his lance, but George isn't done there. He tames the wounded beast, leads it back into town and, to their horror slays it in front of the townsfolk. Sadly, like all heroes, he then decided he should probably get into this magic lark he's heard so much about, spends all of the experience points he just earned for killing the dragon on a few weak elemental spells which he uses approximately twice each, before he realises his lance does more damage and doesn't need mana points to use anyway.
St. George is also the patron saint of England, so think of today as a sort of St. Patrick's Day for the English. England isn't really known for its video games, so perhaps today is as good a time as any to look at some of the finest gems this rainy island has produced. Here's my top 5 English-developed games in no particular order!
