Video Game Ideas You'll Wish You Thought Of

Admittedly, some of these names were generated by this site to get the creative juices flowing.

Vandal Hero
: Don't buy it, kids, it's a trap! In the game, you're a regular high school kid who vandalizes territory to gain props points. But the trick is, you're actually learning while you vandalize! Rearrange the letters on church bulletin board marquis-things into naughty words and clever commentary on the said religious institution, but learn about anagrams at the same time! Spraypaint graffitti on walls that is actually artistic! You think you're being bad, but you're really just inside learning... What a shame for the games industry...

Vampire Theme Park Espionage: I would compare this game to Spore. You start off by creating a theme park, like Roller Coaster Tycoon or something similar. Then, your theme park gets nuked and there are suddenly all these undead creatures around, but you, the owner, are still alive. What you have to do is stay alive and keep those zombies and vampires entertained by your theme park attractions or else they'll have nothing better to do than kill you. The trick is, you can't just manage the park, but you have to sneak around all the undead to get to the offices that control everything. If you want a new janitor, you'll have to sneak around and find one before he gets zombified and then escort him to wherever you put your janitorial headquarters to get him started on the job. Then, you'll have to get back to roller coaster design headquarters using your espionage skills so you can build a new ride. (But that'll require more engineers... Hmm...)

Advanced Fishing- the Card Game: If you thought fishing games were boring, you just wait! Now you have to wait to generate mana before you have the ability to reel in that moderately sized fish.

Erotic Platypus Pioneer: Explore the Louisiana Purchase! And...

Blog Tycoon: Use that Black Hat SEO to get your page ranking higher on Google! Make sure that your post titles include every single word in the dictionary for the Xbox achievement. Be sure to set up a separate computer to automatically visit your page for those 1000 impressions.

Helen Keller: the Game: Utilizing the new Playstation 3 Rumble Controller, try to figure out just what you're feeling. There's not really any way to know, but if you guess correctly into your mic headset, then you score 1 point. Black screen, no sound.

Beijing Olympics 2008: This game will likely exist, but here's how it should work. You grow up separated from your parents to train for the glory of your nation, with no other purpose in life. You aren't allowed to pick which event you'll play or which country you'll represent, or anything about how good you are at certain things. You train and train, and if you qualify to represent your country, then you can compete in the Olympics at last. Then you show up, march around, and lose immediately because you find you're a member of the Vanuatu Badminton team. The game then crashes your Playstation, because your life is basically over.
