We all know racing drivers and soldiers live exciting lives and that games like Modern Warfare and Forza 3 represent these lifestyles well but today I want to look at a selection of games that make normal jobs like you or I would have exciting .

So let's take a look at my top 5 boring jobs to exciting games.

Chef – cooking mama DS

Being a chef isn't really boring but it's a fast paced, highly repetitive type of job as you spend all day cooking the same meal over and over again but cooking mama DS gets around this by spicing up the mix with a heap of well designed mini-games and addictive game play

Taxi driver – Crazy taxi

Driving screaming children around all day, answering the same question over and over again all day taxi drivers have an incredibly boring job but in crazy taxi you take your customers from point a to point b via whatever route you deem quickest from the hospital to the airport, no problem but I'm taking a shortcut through this building and over the roof of the adjacent building. Crazy taxi is a high fivin', fast drivin' take on this boring job and that why it speeds in at number 4.

Hospital Administrator – theme hospital

The real hospital administrator job involves countless hours of red tape and making decisions that mean life or death for countless patients every day but in theme hospital the biggest decision you'll make is where to put the inflater unit for your bloaty head patients or if you'll let the uppity dignitary visit your rat infested hospital. the game is a lot of fun and features a truckload of humorous diseases for you to cure.

Being unemployed- the sims

The Sims is slightly different than any other game on my list in that rather than concentrating on the jobs in the game rather the real fun is too be had as an unemployed Sim, save up all your Simoleans from your job in the city and you can be unemployed hold parties everyday and keep your Sim happier than ever.

Archaeologist – Tomb Raider

Finally at my number 1 spot today is tomb raiders take on the archaeologist, a real archaeologist will spend several months at a tomb wiping away the dirt one grain at a time and generally working hard at preserving each specimen. Tomb Raider on the other hand has you swinging,jumping and shooting your way through massive tombs grabbing the requested item and then legging it back out the game even has you fighting dinosaurs.
