here's my idea..

seeing as all rubbish games can usually be connected by the same problems in the progrmming. There should be a tick-list of things all games should have.

right...


1) Have a decent camera. not one that hides behind corners while you get beaten up.

The cast of chracters should all have their own unique characteristics and all be noticeably different so that the storyline is perfect - you know what I mean?
Like in the Green Mile, all the chracters are perfectly different from each other and create the perfect atmosphere. This is what it should be like in games.

I don't think any game has come close enough to creating that certain atmosphere and perfect character blending...shame I can't explain it too well...

Ni, I mean the actual gun you are holding going throught the wall, not the bullet!

Some powerful guns SHOULd be able to penetrate walls!

There is a glitch similar to that on Perfect Dark. In the Ravine multiplayer level, if you fall off the pipe whilst your mate is controlling another character who is watching you, they will notice that, when you fall off the pipe, you don't fall right into the dark abyss below. You fall about five metres and then land on a black surface and die there, which makes it look like you're frozen in mid-air!

Guns should not go through the walls when you get too close.

There are often errors where if you fall off a certain ledge, the programming to end your game has been left out, so you continue falling and have to restart!

In 3rd person adventures: have a cool lead character who doesn't run like a sissy.
