I had one not long ago, never fleshed it out, but the basic overview is gold. Ok, a Prince of Persia game, set in 18th/19th Century Europe. And it's called, wait for it... Prince of Prussia. Hey? Hey? Howzatt? :p
What we need is a 3D zombie-oriented MMORPG/FPS. That's be awesome. Or a Snakes on a Plane video game. That'd be even more awesome.

I had this great Idea....
You are this italian plumber. You and your brother must navigate through pipes and jump on various enemy heads to help save the princess who has been kidnapped by an evil umm turtle. It has this really catchy tune as well.
But i couldn't imagine anything like that getting anywhere...

YES. That's a concept that I'd love to see made into an MMORPG.
Another thing I'd like to see made into an MMORPG though, would be Fallout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_%28computer_game%29). It would be about life in the barren radioactive wastelands of the world that are left after a global nuclear war. Roving gangs of Mad Max style bandits would fight and kill for supplies, reminants of "civil" society would struggle to survive, mutanted human and animal life would spring up, strange post-apocalyptic cults would be founded. A Fallout MMORPG would be great fun.

Grand Theft Auto 69, The Streets of London
You get to be George Michael, and drive around having sex with random men, taking drugs, crying about Elton John, and careening around in your car until you wreck in Hyde Park.

The best feature will be you getting beaten to death by several royal guards if you even think about owning a firearm or knife. :D

I had an idea for a MMORPG wherein you are a custodian or cleaning lady of a number of buildings who must not only perform your nightly duties, but also contend with a dizzying array of unlikelihoods, from natural disasters to zombie uprisings, time warps to dimensional rifts, and of course, buffing the floors to a burnished sheen.
If the building isn't spotless before dawn, you'll lose your contract and have to go struggle in the arena with all the other unemployed janitors at the unemployment office. And provide a urine sample.
'Cause winners don't use drugs, kids.

Guilty. It's this rpg of a story about this world of magic where a boy finds out he's the heir to a divided kingdom and.... It gets too cheesy really, and I don't have the publicity to get people to help make it happen anyway. Sorry to say that my cheesy ideas won't be known by the world. At least there's a 99% chance that's so.
New from Square: The Jesus RPG!. You start off as the baby jesus, but you level up quickly, learning to walk on water, multiply food, and even shoot lasers out of your eyes! But beware! That tricky Cross does major damage to you HP!!!!

An MMORPG where you are a vampire OR a vampire hunter and you fight each other and you have to protect and/or suck the blood of random people in the town. It would be called...Vampires (wow, I bet you didn't expect that).
Weeell... I had this idea where you'd start the game with all abilities, then there'd be some form of virus and you'd spend your time through the game having to find new ways of doing things as you gradually lose your abilities.
So much so that the final boss fight would consist of someone else holding off the final boss long enough for you to reach the vaccine.
Just remember, you asked for it.

My game would be where you are a serial killer in a teen slasher flick and you have to go around killing annoying american "teenagers" who can't act and look like they're in their 30s. You get bonus points for the amount of gore and screams you can generate.

Oki, so like there are three guys in strangely shaped jump-suits who talk random stuff about play by post games, you score points by coming up with the most sarky comment, I call it Toopoxia Haws Pro Sarky 1 with many sequels until we get to Toopoxia Hawks Underground Sarkyness where it's just two people cos one of the dudes died from a heroin overdose and this time you make sarky comments about the London Underground, and then we top it off with Toopoxia Hawks American Sh****le where you make sarky comments about America untila redneck comes along and impales you on a flag...
And thats my idea...

Allow me to introduce to you Exanimus, (http://www.exanimusthegame.com/website/?month=12&day=3&year=1980&_send_date_.x=46&_send_date_.y=9) a zombie themed MMO intended for mature audiences in which you may play as both a zombie and a human. Also Dark World Online (http://pc.ign.com/objects/826/826794.html) for which there is very little information aside from that you may be a Vampire, Werewolf, or Hunter.
game idea...
Journeyman Construction.
you start off with a small budget, and you have to design, build and furnish a home. each stage, the building gets bigger, untill you are designing large office complexes.
I got plenty of good video game ideas. Trouble is, they all suck.
Whorecraft - The definitive pimp RTS.
World of Whorecraft - Enter the World of Whorecraft! You can start up using any character class imaginable, as long as it's either a Pimp or a Whore.
-World of Whorecraft Expansion - This cleverly titled game would add new playable classes, such as John, Crooked Cop, Undercover Police Officer, and new Items such as Super STD-Reduction Potions!
SimBreastSurgeon - Explore the fascinating world of boob jobs. Defend yourself from lawsuits from dissatisfied patients who develop nasty ailments and syndromes! Compete with fellow Breast Surgeons online to see who can produce the biggest and best!

id like to see games set in mexico.
a vampire game set in juarez would be so creepy. there is so much crime, sex, drugs violence in the border towns that they are all ideal locations for darker storylines
how about grandtheft auto tijuana?
a gang war game set in laredo/nuevo laredo could be ripped from today's headlines.

I'm pretty sure there's quite a bit of sex all over the place. =p
I always thought about making a game I haven't named yet. Basicly, when you start, you create your own character, right down to possible super powers. Then, you can do anything in the virtual world and I mean anything. Milkman. Cop. Corrupt politician in clown suit. Super man. Heck, you can even be a supervillian, bum on the street, or one of those guys from the GTA games that kills people if you wanted. I figure that, unless game storage size and load times improve drasticly, it would be impossible to do.

true
but i was thinking (really i was trying not to think) of the famous tijuana woman and donkey show.
I played a Star Trek bridge commander game or called something similar once, with in depth controls on just a few spaceships. I want a Star Wars version of that.
Video games ideas?
This isn't an idea for a video game, but it is an idea that involves them.
Internal Prison MMORPGs. All socialising in prison is done through a network game, over which prison authorities have administrative control. No human contact between prisoners ever occurs.

A sort of reverse to the Hitman games, where you aim to guard rather than kill. There was a game like it called Secret Service, but it didn't let you use any strategy. C'mon, trying to work out a way to mould guards who are deaf/amnesiac and can't hit a barn door from three yards with a sniper rifle into an effective defence against a highly trained infiltrator(s) is a great challenge...
There was an great idea for a game that I once had but I never thought anyone would make it. Someone did. The idea: the Columbine massacre where the player is a shooter. Someone has already made it though and it's an RPG Maker game so it ain't that great.

SimPrisonCampThat's similar to my video game idea. I'd up the stakes from a mere prison camp, though. Make it a concentration camp--a death camp, and:
You could play as either side. As Defense (a prisoner) your objective would be not only to survive, but to shut down the place. But if you play on Offense, you have to whack every prisoner (duh) and if you aren't fast enough about it, an army will come and pwn you. Since there would be the possibility of revolts, supply-line breakdowns, etc. this side's objective wouldn't be so easy as it may sound.
There'd have to be more strategy involved than just an FPS-like interface or tinhorn algorithmic sim. I'm thinking that a Morrowind-like interface would suit it best for the Character's perspective/interactions, along with some sort of advanced AI for the NPCs and general conditions.
Your character would start with historically-accurate equipment (or lack of equipment, as the case may be). Getting more stuff would be up to your ingenuity. Bribery, theft, misappropriations, whack n grab, whatever. You could basically try whatever came to mind, and the AI would determine the results.
Of course, the setup would be suitably de-accuratized from any real historical camps, so each side would have a challenge...and a decent chance. There would be a difficulty slider, with "Exact Historical Accuracy" being the hardest level for both sides. Well, make that "near-exact." If I went with Exact, the camp-running side would automatically lose (unless I find out about some real-life scenario where they accomplished the stated objective of TOTAL AND COMPLETE deletion of the other side), which would cause those types of players to not buy the game.
The Expansion Pack would give you (if you play as a Prisoner) the chance to expand the revolt to the entire nation, and throw out the Evil Government(TM). Offense-oriented players could go on to try to take over more territory, and spread the death and terror even further.
Use pretend names for all the groups if controversy-shy, or maybe make it somewhat like Civ IV where the specific scenario depends on which leader's reign you choose to play in. No need to leave the lesser-known instances (like Serbia, for instance) of this phenomenon out. (Your actual character would be more customizable--fat, thin, average, stuff like that).
Too bad it'd be so controverial hardly anyone would dare to touch it, and probably no-one with the skills to make a *decent* game out of it would make it.

Phantasmagoria? the "Rape" scene was more insinuated and not really shown. and no mention of the many violent ways you die during the last cd nor the graphic violence shown in Phantasmagoria 2.

An RTS Game set in the Korean war, with realistic units and a bit of basebuilding (ie you build a camp to order in reinforcements).
Anything about WWI. Like, a multiplayer ego-shooter. Imagine sitting in a trench, and then gas comes in and you have to put a mask on and then you can see only through the little glasses while people charge you with bayonets.
