Like any good meal, it needs ingredients. Some people prefer different elements to others. Some people like to see a bit extra added to see what it will create.

But we aren't talking about food (duh). Each game we have played often has that certain something something, be it the aimming, the enviroment, the controls... something that stands out, that you enjoy most about it.

So, heres how it works. Take a few games you have played and take parts from them that you most enjoyed from them. Throw them together and see if your creativity can make something interesting.

Describe what you have made and see if it catches anyones attention.

Ingredients:
I'll take the gathering aspect of Fallout 3 (just grab stuff from the ground...), the graphics of Red Dead Redemption, the enviroment settings of Left 4 Dead (cities, towns, forests) and have the story of Max Brook's World War Z.

What have I created:
A massive sandbox enviroment where salvaging is vital, destroyed buildings are everywhere and there are your good old classical horde shuffling zombies.

Why, I do believe that you just created Dead Island. Go figure.
He didn't say "tropical island melee combat zombie slaying party game"

OT: Mirror's Edge (parkour) + Grand Theft Auto (free roaming in huge areas) + Devil May Cry (gun and sword combat).
- Oh, and also MMO of course.

Mirror's Edge parkour plus Sonic-style fast levels and cartoony style plus Megaman-style awesome boss fights.

Pokemon -> Adorable, fuzzy creatures with amazing powers.
Drakengard -> Become soul bound with one of those powerful creatures.
Suikoden -> An army to persuade to join you in the pursuit of justice.
Any RPG, ever -> I am the lone warrior, the only one capable of defeating a great evil.
Any MMORPG, ever -> The ability to make that warrior one of a dozen highly detailed classes
Fallout -> Small notes and logs detailing the lives of NPCs, to add depth. Also, an expansive area to explore.
Final Fantasy -> To add beautiful aesthetics
Disgaea -> To ensure that it's loaded with humor
Dragon Age -> To ensure that my army and personal soul pet will at least be interesting to talk to.

--

What have I created?
A sprawling, beautiful world. The NPCs are given depth and stories. I can interact with them and even recruit my favorites to help me take on the only thing that threatens this paradise. At my side, I have a creature with whom I have made a soul pact. And with them, I take on the greatest evil.

A bit of a cliche, but perfect for anyone who had a lonely childhood and wanted a pet dragon.
