Names for subgenres of games that don't exist yet.

My favorite subgenre has always been FPSRPGs (or RPSs, if you like), such as Fallout 3 and Mass Effect.
God-botherer Sim
The Sims games because you can control every aspect of a Sim's life and even take their life away from them. Also known as the Hyperrealistic Pool-Ladder Murder Simulator.
Spore because it is an evolutionist game, not that there is a problem with that, but I guess if a God-sim promotes non-creationism than it would be classed as a God-botherer sim.

Animal Wrangling RPG
Harvest Moon and to a lesser extent the Tamagotchi spinoff games. Pokemon also counts.

Sweeney Todd Idoliser Game
Games like God of War III with allegedly so much gore it's almost illegal, and probably is illegal under crappy Aussie censorship board laws. Such games would also have an excessive focus on hatred, suffering and revenge, just like Sweeney Todd. Come to think of it, God of War games are kinda fitting for this category.

Already a proper genre name but not in use so much these days because you can't make a shooter in it therefore making it uninteresting to most of the people who cover games.NewGeekPhilosopher said:

Screw innovation, as long as we make money we're fine!- any World War 2 game after Call of Duty 2
I got some more,
Fun Horror, games where the actual horror atmosphere gets destroyed because you actually have entertaining fun with it so you never dread monster encounters (like Dead Space'es dismemberment mechanic)
Story Heavy, games where the plot is VERY much a part of the experiance and cannot be disregarded.

Mindfuck = Whatever the hell killer7 is...
Speedformer = A platformer that strongly encourages and rewards level completion in the shortest time possible, usually with a main character that reaches a very high running speed. (Sonic the Hedgehog, Rocky Rodent, etc.)
Loli Hell = Bullet hell/frenzied shooter games featuring a cast of predominately young, female characters. (Touhou, Death Smiles, etc.)

SPS...
The Second Person Shooter
It's really hard to comprehend what that would look like... think of this:
FPS - I am shooting
TPS - He is shooting
SPS - You are shooting
So, if my logic doesn't fail me, it would be a first person game, from the perspective of the people you are shooting..
