Is there a topic about...

... your 'ideal' game?
I had a bit of a search but looking for a topic about gaming on a gaming website is like looking for a piece of old, dry grass in a haystack.

A topic where you post one or two paras describing your 'perfect' video game, story, mechanics... something that hasn't been done yet, keeping the derivatives to a minimum... (y'know, not just a list of people saying "CoD but with tits. And dragons.")

Has it been done?

Yes.

I think there have been a few threads like that were people post what they would love to see in a game. Personally I want to see electromagnetism introduced into games. Programming them would be just as tedious as programming kinematics standard with most physics engines. Plus, if you've studied EM in a class room you'll realize that there can be potentially awesome action and puzzle elements.
