Hey everybody! I've not been on in a while but I'm still alive for now and I need your help. I am designing a new PC game but I am having trouble getting started. I have looked in the games ideas forum but I would just be taking other peoples ideas and they have typed newspapers on what they think so I'm asking for your help. If you have any basic outlines on what kind of PC game you would like then tell me about it I really want it to be by the people who would be buying it and you can help me with that. I was thinking of something original like Pikmin and Blinx and deffinetly not a first person shooter because there is lots out right now. Thanks for your time and comments :D

More PR spin...

You should give as much credence to Blinx being original, or the "first 4D game", as you should to me saying that I invented circles. Microsoft are playing the BS game again... apparently such games as Chrono Trigger, Soul Reaver 2 and many, many others which entirely revolve arond the manipulation of time just don't exist. Any PR rep that consistantly comes out with tripe like that, should be hanged.

Blinx? Original? bah, it's only got a time travel thingy... couldn't he just turn back time and change the incident that happened and get on with his life? Fat stupid cat...

Just watch out, if you release a good game, Microsoft will try and buy you out!

It's destiny!
