If you could make the choice...

Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy: the Game. I don't know how they would do it, but I would reserve the limited edition.

I'm not sure, but I think there's already a point and click adventure game of Hitchhiker's Guide.

and text adventure

the funny part is ALL versions of Hitchhikers are different from one another AND all were done by Douglas Adams, even funnier fans still complain about the changes the writer himself made to his own work

SNIP

That game sucked. I remember being so frustrated trying to figure out what I could and couldn't do. As it started you had to buy a Babel fish from a vending machine and put it in your ear, but for some reason the Babel fish would fly past me and go down the drain unless I used my towel to catch it. What the hell kind of vending machine is that?

I'd like to see The View: Steel Cage Death Match. But that's more in real life than in a game.

probably Stephen King's Darktower series

i think maybe The boondocks would make a good game theres alot of action,comedy and poltical commentray in the series so i think itd translate well to a game. maybe a open world kinda thing doing missions with huey and riely

Shoot 'em up - just random shooting action would be great.

Edit - Someone just asked me what shoot em up is. It's a movie with Clive Owen just killing people for 90 minutes.

Fiends of the Eastern Front. It's a book (Trilogy) by David Bishop about vampires & zombies (soldiers re-animated by the Vampyrs) during World War 2, with the story following both German & Russian characters.

It would play like a mix between:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - a mix of FPS shooter & RPG, & a similar dark setting.
Battlefield 1942 - Some battles against the Vampyrs will be fought in tanks & planes, plus there still is a real war going on which you participate in.
Oblivion - Needing to find ingredients to make silver ammunition & weapons and to keep your (possible) vampirism at bay, the optional 1st/3rd person view, & a good melee combat system for all the melee combat which is inevitable.
C.O.D. 4 - Having the story/levels split between 2 different characters, in different armies.

I'd certainly buy it, hell I might even have a go at making it, if it hasn't already been made by the time I've finished my course.

I also like the World War Z & Redwall ideas, both are great series & a great suggestions.

Obviously Lord of the Flies.

It would be sort of a mix between Lost in Blue and Dead Rising.

Actually there's a series of children's novels, "Redwall" and the like by Brian Jacques. I've fond memories of reading them like a dork in my schooling years... and if anyone else has read them you'll agree that these books would make a freakin awesome MMORPG.

If you want, you should check them out... pretty good reads even now, in my humblest opinion.

They are really good kids books, but they start to get just a bit repetetive, what with the same three plots being painted onto every book. Not to mention the disturbingly racist undertones...

On topic, Equilibrium. It was an awesome film, with some truly impressive action sequences, and it's a real shame that the two Max Payne 2 mods made for it were deeply flawed. Imagine, striding into a room guns blazing, slowing down the action to a pace where even bullets move at a snail's crawl, then dragging the pistols in each hand to their own target...
So hard to implement, but it could be so sweet. Like turning a fast paced firefight into something practically turn-based, with strategy and timing with every room...

Oh, and there's katanas.

Dresden Files. Wizard grit in Chicago murder mysteries. CSI investigations using Magic, combat, alchemy...

Almost like the Witcher in a modern setting. You can get advantages in boss fights with charisma based skills!

Great book series, haven't seen the TV series.

That would be AWESOME.

I would like to see a strategy game based on the Song of Ice and Fire series. You would be able to control one of the noble houses and fight for control of the seven kingdoms. It would be kind of like the total war games, but with a lot of emphasis on diplomacy and backstabbing.

 

[TMAN10112]

i would like to see a "Code monkeys" videogame

It might be just my immense tiredness talking, but the first thing that came to mind was Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis.

I literally have no idea how that would work, but I'd love to see a developer get Godzilla Bukkake Fetishists past the ESRB/BBFC.
