What is the top 10 things you must have in any game?

Hmmm. I might claim it if I win a GAD. Who knows? I'm broke, so it would be a morale booster, along with my new game, Red Faction (thanks again SR! :D).

6. Happy Ending

Personally, I detest happy endings, unless it has traces of bad in it, like the ending to both Metal Gear games, there is some tragedy/controversy around it, letting you know that everything is not well. After all, I'd rather play as a terrorist than the good guy, but that's just me ;D

1. You must have at least ONE person get killed!

What if it's a game like Bishi Bashi Special or Fuzion Frenzy? Do you expect people to be killed in that. I find fighting games (boxing, beat 'em up, wrestling) to be very engrossing, yet nobody dies in them, do they (well, we can make allowances ;D)? I don't think it's neccesary in all games, but can be a nice touch some of the time.

2. For the emotion, that ONE person must be a female.

I agree here, that a female adds some depth and emotion to the game, but is also not neccesary. You don't need a female to go and blow holes through walls, but as I said, it adds to depth and deepens the storyline and how you approach the game.

3. The person who has just been killed has to be shot in the head with a machine gun several times.

4. If someone is killed, the body shouldn't dissapear.

Excellent point. It's annoying in so many of the best games to see someone die, go around a corner, turn back and see the body gone. I'm glad to see that newer games now have implemented this feature, like Red Faction (thank you SR! :D).

5. If you shoot someone in the arm, leg or anywhere which is not fatal, they should grab that body part. If you shoot them numerous times there, they should collapse in a pool of blood, eventually dying from blood loss. One shot in the head should kill, as should one in the chest. Games would be a lot more fun if that was in, as you would be able to torture the enemy :)

Muahaha!
