any games with the word viva, katamari or any cartoony looking game for that matter, who wants to play that shit honestly.. I go for realism only cause I like doing things that i don't normally do in life, but other people do things normally life. I'm playing mlb 2k8, only cause i'm wearing a cast and can't play real baseball. If i wasn't in a cast i'd play it once every like 5 days..

I know this isn't a game concept so sorry it's a bit off-thread, but the stupidest idea by a developer has to be the decision to steal material and, from what I've seen on this site, entire areas from 'Oblivion' (amongst others), for 'Limbo of the Lost'.

www.Gameplasma.com have a thing on them with loads of screens and comparisons. It seems theyve just taken screen shots and superimposed a rough 3D model over it. Google em and you'l find no end of stuff, its a great story.

After finally seeing the comparisons at Gameplasma (my work PC blocks that site so had to access from home) I can honestly say that yep, I think those developers are completely screwed!
Found out what they look like too - three blokes from the pub! Love this article from their local newspaper prior to their "secret" being uncovered (see link). Would be interesting to see if there is any follow-up.
I'll leave you with my favourite quote from the article:

"Between the three of us we researched, wrote, designed, animated, scripted and developed the whole game from home."

Another game with 50 cent in it

Cooking Simulation Games. Sounds fun, but that kinda leave you hungry after doing some nasty Italian cuisine ;(

Text based games without pictures... IN ANY WAY!
Games that costs money AFTER you have purchased them. Thats not purchase, thats RENTING! You don't buy WoW you fucking RENT IT!
Games that involves unicorns and pinballesque gameplay (YES, PEGGLE!).
Games where the reward of completion is nudity and/or uncensored sex.

For the record Moonwalker was fucking AWESOME!! and there was a cheat to turn into an unstopable missile-laden robot and a special to dance the enemies to death and everything.

Whats the cheat to turn him into a robot? always wondered...

if you "save" a certain child first on the level a shooting star will fall in the background and if you touch the star you get everyone's dream of becoming a flying robotic killing machine (the one off of the moonwalker music videos), you could lookup which child for each level somewhere on the net. There may be moral implications about going around gunning everyone down but as a "violent-game player" I can't see it.

when i was working on Minority Report the videogame, a homeless tester entered the following reccomendation: "The sick stick is pretty cool but it could definitely use improvement. For example, when you hit people with the sick stick, they should vomit on the floor, and anybody who can see their vomit will vomit also creating a chain reaction of people vomitting, and when they try to run they will slip on the vomit which will make them vomit more."

i'm paraphrasing, but this seriously was reccomended

For my High School WWII project I did mine on Auschwitz death camps and Hitler's Final Solution. I half assed a map using Starcraft map editor change the names of a couple units and showed it off to my class. I got a B+ for creativity and I did do the research, but I didn't get an A because I made the class laugh at a speech about Auschwitz.

OMG greatest way to do a project ever!!!!

Here's an odd idea for a game I came up with...
There's been a huge explosion up in space, and bits of asteroids and stuff are raining down onto your planet in waves. You must man a gun, made up of 5 cylinders that shoot rockets, to destroy these chunks of rock by 1)Choosing which to fire and then 2)Flicking the fire switch. Sometimes there are chunks falling on the same line, so you must fire two rockets at once. Sometimes rocks are close by, so you can chain explosions together. If you miss rocks, they fall down and hit the cities. A "Rock" meter on the side that tells you how much more the city can take. Also, the gun has a specific range, so you must fire when the chunks are at an exact range.

I'd call it Global Help: Legend of Rock, or GH:LoR for short.

² that. (SMOOTH CRIMINAL w0000t)
Uhm, Train Simulator?

a game where Chuck Norris comes in every time and kills you, but if you have guitar hero hes doomed! http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chuck_norris

Just because a game is built on a terrible idea doesn't mean it's not fun. Am I the only one who laughed my ass off in Turok Evolution when a racist civil war general/cyborg came riding in on a T-Rex with chain guns mounted on it? And come on, who doesn't love the idea of riding a pterodactyl with a rocket launcher strapped to it's belly?

A game where you play as a ant sized prince of the cosmos in charge of a ball that makes things (even people) stick to it.

It sounds so stupid, and yet it was the premace for one of the trippiest games ever, and a fun one at that
