There has been a recent barrage of sequels that either do not add anything new to the play experience or end up being absolute trash. This point has been discussed before, so instead of complaining I have thought of a solution.

New games come from new ideas. (And I don't mean adding zombies or 2 new weapons.) So lets come up with some new ones. Game developers can be free to borrow any new idea I come up with playing the game.

THE RULES:
1. Go to wikipedia and click random page. Whatever the page discusses is the subject of your game.
2. Give your game's name and description of the hero, villain, and gameplay.
3. You dont talk about fight club.
4. Reader's should quote games they would play.

I'll start...

The Ghost of Italian Politics: Sardinian Regional election of 1974

You play as Rocco Incubo, a clerk in the office of Giovanni Del Rio. Del Rio is attempting to integrate Socialism in the Sardinian government. However you are not a simple Italian clerk, you lead a double life as a World Class level thief, spy, and free runner. Del Rio is your enemy, but not because of any plans to end the world/ unleash zombies/ murder your parents/ pizza rationing. Instead you are attempting recover from a traumatic experience of Giovanni destroying your team on Pokemon Blue, by ruining the life of anyone named Giovanni you meet. During the day you must maintain stealth and a trusting relationship with members of the office even while you steal documents and plant incriminating evidence. At night, you use your skills to observe, stalk, and mentally destabilize Del Rio. (Basically, you are the monster from Amnesia with all of Ezio and Batman's skills and the mustache of Snake in MGS4) Harassment can never be physically violent, rather you attack the mental health of Del Rio until he snaps at a cappuccino shop from a dropped cup which results in him screaming about being followed by shadows and ghosts.

Well, I got: Daniel's Harbour - a community on the west coast of newfoundland.

The port is frozen in one of the coldest winters, temperatures dropping as low as -30! The community is grouped together in the town center, but is in need of supplies. You being brave/stupid brave the freezing cold on a hunt to the next town - only the dreaded polar bears have used the white out to invade! Struggle to find a way to save your town - just be careful the weather doesn't become more deadly than the bears.

I actually randomed thrice more... Second attempt I too got a politician. Third I got a page listing reprints of the 'Vertigo' comic books - aimed at 'mature' readers. Fourth I got the Irish version of my name. xD

AMAZING!!!

Cleat Down, Beat Down--- The story of Mercy Akide, leader scorer on the Nigeria women's national football team. After coach Uche Eucharia is kidnapped by... a white guy with a British accent... you join up with your team mates to combat enemy soldiers using tight passes and devastating headers and bicycle kicks to rocket a soccer ball at your enemies. For a super attack, you summon the "Flamingos," Nigeria's cadet soccer team.

i would give Rocco a chance. Always been a dream to be an italian who runs around jumping on stuff. maybe turtles for enemies?

"Bears in a blizzard? This is the polar opposite of what I expected."

BAD PUNS, the game

Sun Peaks: British Columbia

(The article has next to nothing, so Im pulling this out of nowhere.)

You're a late-teen aged boy living in a Canadian town of less the 400 people. Theres never anything to do. You're stuck at a crappy job bagging groceries since you failed out of community college. You have no family, no friends, and you're on the brink of killing yourself. You're about to do it one night, until you decide that since you have nothing to live for, you might as well "go nuts" so to speak, and do whatever you want. This is where the game starts. It's open world, and you interact with other townspeople, making friends, finding a girlfriend, whatever you want. You can keep your job as a bag boy, hoping to rise to a management position, or quit and fling hot coffee at your dick of a boss. Get a job as a cop, be a bum, become a professional criminal, or run for mayor. Whatever you want. It's sort of like a dark version of Animal Crossing meets Heavy Rain.

i like it. i'd play it just to see how broad the designers went with the "do whatever you want" gameplay. why yes, i do want to steal every spoon in the game and ride a walrus down Main Street demanding ransom while playing bagpipes.

hahahaha Neil Degrasse Tyson said "I liked it, but it really could have used a few more variables to calculate..."

Well after 30 or so biographies of nobodies, a backwater town in Florida, a list of volume releases for a long running manga, and info about a numbered plannet, i gave up and tried the random button on TvTropes, and hit this page [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JackTheRipoff] on my second try.

I got... Joseph Rond. Apparently, he is an American tug-of-war competitor who competed in the 1920 Olympics.

So...

The game. "Beyond Rond."

After coming back from the Olympics, Joseph Rond is ready to bask in the fame of a tug-of-war Olympic competitor. However, it is not to be. The U.S. dingy-sailing team, even more forgotten than the tug-of-war team, is out for revenge for Rond stealing their limelight. They drug Rond, and he awakes in his own dream world, where the dingy team have transformed into monsters, only capable of being defeated by tugging them down to Rond's level. Rond is on an epic trip to defeat the monstrous representations of his kidnappers, escape from his dream, and take vengeance in the real world!

-An entire dingy crew of creative boss fights!
-Features the fascinating dream world of an Olympic star, and a true-to-life representation of 1920s New York!
-Call for help from the rest of the 1920s tug-of-war team: each with their own strengths and weaknesses in Rond's world!
-Kinect and Playstation Move compatible: look like a complete fool mimicking tug-of-war without a rope or resistance!

Wait, it's set in British Columbia...
Steal a car, drive to Victoria, and see if the LRR team are in the game. Then drive all the way to my house. Because I can. Hoepfully.
