Beat Metal Gear Solid 2 last night. Owny owny owny owny... Hideo is my new master. Metal Gear Solid for PSX gets bumped to the front of my game queue. ^_^ I had a neat idea for coming up with game ideas. Just listen to songs you like! Songs often have a small story and setting, but are vague enough that you could expand them into a complete world. Take Bad Religion's Ten in 2010, for example. The general premise is that God has allowed the earth's population to grow to 10 billion in the year 2010. There is a basic setting right there. :) The gameplay could be something like having to manage resources for a starving country... or maybe trying to take over other countries at an accelerated speed, so time moves at 1 year of game time per minute of player time. (That sort of reminds me of Liquid War.) Anyway, the point is that a single good song can get you plenty of game ideas. :)
