Having seen time used so well in the latest Zelda game, Majora's Mask, I think this should be utilised in more games.But how about adding an extra feature to it, you travel back in time to when you were younger, so you also have to avoid changing anything that could alter the course of your life as a youngster! If you look at the way that Marty McFly has to avoid himself in one of the Back to the Future films, you may get an idea of what I am thinking of.
So my game idea would involve a little time travel, and a running clock. I think a good story would be of some evil being using time travel to his advantage, in order to build up huge wealth, so you have to travel through the ages trying to stop him, as well as making sure that you will still exist in the future, by making sure that you don't bump off those ancient relatives!
I wouldn't have thought that a game like this was possible, but having seen that it could be done so well with Zelda on the N64, I'm sure that the next generation consoles will be able to pull something like this off!
