Most Original Game

[Zersy]

I Think LittleBigPlanet.

WIN !

or what about Super Mario Bros ?

 

[Green Tentacle]

Pong obviously.

It was the first game to be made mainstream in arcade and later have a port to home computers. Pong's success is more or less the reason we even have a game industry.
Also space invaders.

Thank you, I was waiting for someone to say that.

Tetris, Psychonauts or Maniac Mansion.

I don't think there is a most original since once one enters the realm of "none of this has been done before" that's as original as it gets.

My vote is Pac-Man, though I'll also mention Tetris, Wolfenstein 3D, and any of a number of other notable firsts.

Stubbs the Zombie in Reble without a pulse: Reversed the roles of every horror game made till then by making you play as the zombie in a comically plotted stroyline.

Destroy All Humans did it 4 months earlier

Really? I didn't knew about it, mostly because I don't have a console. Thanks for the heads-up.

Psychonauts
Boyd Cooper: Beware the cows! Not all milk is enriched!

 

[Kage Me]

I'd not say Pong... Tennis had already been around before Pong was.

Tetries, on the other hand... I honestly wouldn't know what inspired Tetris.

Sly Cooper was fairly orginal in a sense.

EDIT: the Star ocean/Tales series was original for making a non-turn based JRPG

 

[Yooz]

LittleBigPlanet


obviosuly. You play as a sackboy for christ sakes, jumping around a platformer collecting balls of points and the checkpoint is a fucking GONG. Lol, the most original (and best, imo) game of 2008.

Uhm.. in Voodoo Vince you play as a voodoo doll which, coincidently resembles sack boy...texture wise.

Katamari Damacy; the only game to simulate drug use ever.

 

[Kinguendo]

the first wold war 2 game

I guess that would have been original... if they had made up World War 2.

 

[Kinguendo]

Spacewar!

I dont think anyone can put an intellignt arguement up against that, because there isnt one.

 

[Howlingwolf214]

Portal i'd say.

 

[Lord_Gremlin]

Definitely Flower.

 

[Triscut900]

pac man

 

[Tegual]

Freespace

Damn you, you beat to it.
