A tactics game based on ctf with dnd characters. You design and equip the characters and set some on defense and some on offense, group some into teams if you want, set traps if you want. 10 characters per side.
I'd prolly go for an open world sandbox MMO. Something where the world actually felt alive, had an ecosystem, and no quest givers beyond the introduction to the game. You start in a camp with a few NPC's and are given the tools to build an entire world for yourself. Think minecraft meets WoW.
I would buy the rights to Futurama from Fox, and then make a Futurama game in the style of Mass Effect, but with more open exploration, some Uncharted/Tomb Raider style platforming and puzzle solving depending on the missions & characters, and a bunch of space combat.
I've had an idea knocking around my head for a while.
An MMORPG (or maybe just an RPG) set in India in the 1700s and 1800s. You could play a mercenary and fight for the British or Marathas or French or whatever, or you be a businessman with the East India Companies, or you could be some kind of explorer, or anything in between. You could even carve out mini empires for yourself and set up your own East India companies, sort of like with corporations in EVE Online. You could even have a sort of MMORPG/RTS crossover for big battles between companies (or maybe for interfering in historical battles - what could have happened if the Marathas had had a few regiments of well trained European mercenaries at Assaye?)
That could be a pretty good game.

I would most likely try and create an Open-World MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) or an Open World FPS for all platforms with CryEngine 3. Or maybe make my own "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" MMORPG.
MMORPG - Like Fable or Kingdoms of Avalur: Reckoning except with an open world. And you can JUMP!
FPS - Chaotic. Nuff' said.

I would give the money to Nintendo and ask for a HD Zelda title. 
Or imagine a competitive online battle simulator with the Skyward Sword controls, with an improved Wii remote (more precision). We really need a game with sword and bow/arrow battles like the current FPS games.
Also, several classes.
Archer, Warrior, Rough/Assassin.
Archer would have some really limited melee attacks and great raged capabilities.
Warrior would have great melee attacks, armor and blocking capabilities (imagine blocking an arrow with your Master Sword. Screams BADASS!)
And rough/assassin would have some great backstabing attacks, some mediocre ranged attacks (trowing knifes, shuriken...) and the best of all, a freaking grappling hook!!!
The game should be on the PC.
This will make it easier for the Archer and a bit easier for the rough.
But you would use the motion controls for the warrior class for better sword fighting.
I can already see some epic battles. 2 warrior fighting a sword battle. A rough uses his grappling hook to move fast behind one of them. As he is about to backstab his target, a precise arrow hits him in his arm preventing him from finishing his attack.
He jumps back, trows 3 shuriken at the archer. The archer trows him self to avoid them, but is till hit in the leg. The cunning rough uses that moment to aim his grappling hook at the top of a nearby house and runs away.
The at the same moment, 1 warrior decapitates his nemesis. He goes and helps his allied archer to stand up and move to the nearest camp to heal the wounds.

Here's my game; You give a bunch of men and they runaround and rub their testicles on each others faces.
Include voice-chat so they can scream '******' at each other constantly, regardless if they're winning, losing or waiting for the game to start.
Anyone can host and said host has the power to kick people out of games at any time just to be a douchbag.
Make it so graphically intense, you have to overclock your $10,000 rig just to run it on low settings (like the pros do anyway).
Add a redundant points system and rank them from highest to lowest. The top 10 people should be visible.
Give everyone a gun and call it a FPS. Millions of dollars returned profit.
Penis shaped map.

An XCOM style game where the player leaders the survivors of a mushroom-like zombie infestation (I had the idea before that new PS3 game! I swear! Besides, my mushroom zombies would be way better, they'd look like people infected with Cordyceps fungus [pic] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cordyceps.jpg], rather than people who turning into mushrooms for some reason), based in an alternate 1980s where the US didn't enter WW2, and the Cold war happened between the USSR and the Japanese Empire!

I'd be making the game I've been creating in my head for about the past 4 years. Or that other one I came up with shortly after reading "Crime and Punishment."
The first is a third person stealth (no-contact stealth) game set in present day. (probably alternate universe though, I'd get in a lot of trouble if I went with actual countries) The game mainly revolves around finding and delivering information relating to a conspiracy surrounding the war two neighbouring countries are in to the masses. (I'm being vague intentionally by the way, this is all far more thought out than I'm making it seem. I'd go into character details too, but yeah, trying to be vague) The story will change somewhat based on how many times you're detected by the enemy.
The second one, being even more vague, as I've had less time to think about this one, is about people with god-like powers. The main theme is that one man can change the world, specifically, how that is stupid and dangerous. Also, space fist-fights are planned. Expect DBZ references.

I would split the money you gave me into two groups. The first I would use to bribe Bethesda into making TES VI: Elsweyr instead of their rumored MMO of which I'm afraid of. They wouldn't get the money if they disallowed Khajiit marriage again or gave us PC players the same awful menus as the console though!
If I had enough money left after that, I would attempt further bribery of Bioware and petition them to -finally- make Shattered Steel 2! Although, with Bioware's current track record, I would require being a consultant on that game's development. Couldn't have EA's influence ruining yet another classic series I love. *sadfaic*
Not very original I know, but this is what I want!

My game:
A sci-fi FPS set around 100 years in the future about WW3. It would have huge scale battles in both multiplayer and singleplayer with lots of players/units on screen at once. Singleplayer AI should only be scripted in story sequences; also no QTEs. Completely destructible terrain/architecture, far beyond what Battlefield and other games do now. Large but 100% original weapon and vehicle selection with extensive customization in multiplayer/co-op and pre-mission loadout selection in singleplayer (when it fits with the story). Jets would control like Ace Combat because I freakin' love those games, other controls would be basically standard FPS fare.
It would have a long and story driven, not setpiece driven, campaign (at least 15 hours on the lowest difficulty) with good writing, characters, etc. Throughout the campaign you would play as soldiers on both sides of the war and around the world (maybe a mission on the moon too, because why not). You would have at least one mission where you get to drive/fly every basic type of vehicle, not just on-rails sections (looking at you BF3). I actually thought of some story ideas but nothing cohesive so I won't bother typing them out.
Multiplayer's basic style would be class-based and teamplay-oriented with 5 classes (Assault, Engineer, Support, Medic, & Sniper). Each class for each would be a 'character' and fully customizable, not just for equipment, but also gender, appearance, and face.
Multiplayer's flagship mode would have very big battles (100 vs. 100 or so). Each team would be subdivided into 4 25-man platoons, each with objectives at different parts of the map. Other platoons' objectives would be listed as secondary objectives that could be done after all of yours were completed. Each platoon would be further divided into 5 5-man squads, a la Battlefield.
Edit: Singleplayer would have some awesome stealth sections too. Not just the normal stuff where it's basically the same thing with a suppressor on your gun, but more intense parts. For example, you could be playing as a member of a resistance group where your weapon is a crappy .22 rifle or something and you have to sneak through part of a city fighting actual soldiers that would dominate you in straight-up combat.
Either that or Star Wars: Battlefront 3.

An awesome game.
That is both my mission statement and my sales pitch.
I'll be taking money now.
