Wow I can't believe this hidden gem of a post has been here all this time.

Anyway, to carry on;

1) More windows to pointlessly smash
2) Random acts of redemption
3) A hot air balloon to ride around in
4) Bad guys living in secret underground liars
5) unnecessaryly large cigars

wot about lino flooring and hot dog vendors?
or paperboys u have 2 prevent from duin there job with the help of a chihuaha and an uzi

We need more..

1. Chips
2. Dips
3. Nuts
4. Whips
5. Crisps

I definitely agree we need more staple-guns in video games, and probably salted popcorn too. I'll update soon (maybe)

: }

Some more things :

1) Unexplained crashing
2) Nasty shocks when you remove the cd from the drive
3) Random deleting of vital saved games
4) 3 hour loading breaks between levels
5) salted popcorn

How about a staple gun?

This thread's been up for a month now, so I guess the lack of replies means it has been a conclusive success.

These, definitely definitively, are the 47 things there need to be more of in video-games. No more, no less. Just 47.

To my reckoning, there are 47 things there need to be plenty more of in video-games. If you feel I have omitted anything, please feel free to add your contribution to this utterly, utterly essential database.
