You're part of a squad of marines in a conflict with somebody. You reach their capital only to learn of a highly unpredictable experimental device in their hands.

The device gets stronger by the second, even beginning to bring back people (or what's left of them) back from the other times. You and your squad must battle through enemy soldiers, mindless remains of people from the past, strange and superior technology of those from the future, and even the device itself. You must shut off the device before it condenses time and space into a singularity, and ends the world.

Also you have a hat.
Tell me more about this hat.
Well, it's black. I'll let that sink in. I think that's way to much originality to sink in at one go.
10% and Raven Software out of the game, or I cut the hat and WALK
All these orignal games never make it.... I can dream of a hatted video game hero. I can dream.
You drive a hard bargain. 15% and the head of the head of Raven Software.

No it's completely different. You have a hat.

First idea: mix of Saints Row 2,Just Cause and Mercenaries,with supervillains as central characters. Evil genius and his thrusty Number Two (the protagonist)posess large arsenal of weapons,vehicles,and airstrikes. They must conquer an island nation of Barrabas through evildoing and idiotism.

Also,they will have lots of wacky sidekicks at their disposal - such as large Austrian thrombonist armed with sonic weapons,a twins named Chip and Dale piloting all-purpose helicopter,a Viking as a bomber pilot,Yahtzee armed with his beloved Archibald,and Russian mechanic fascinated with steam technologies (based on my friend).

All this will feature swordfish as a melee weapon and truck with a starship engine mounted on it,among other things,will be called "Mankind is yet to recognize my genius" and will be set either in the sixties or IN SPACE!

Second idea: in a Tolkien-rip-off-land,all hell breaks loose. It's steampunk age,complete with steamships,steam trains,zeppelins,and even WWI - esque planes. Hobbits are fighting Dvarves for unclear reason (using peanuts as bullets and cucumbers as grenades for comic effect),and you must command a squad of hobbits through series of operations. Essentially,this would be tactical TPS with a sense of humour.

... sigh...

once again, i'll say:

Open world steampunk 3rd person action rpg.
Edge of Twilight - look it up on Gametrailers, there's a new gameplay trailer that might get your spine a-tingling.

As for my idea, I suggest a post-apocalyptic RTS set in a vegetable patch in a back-garden. The factions include: Fruit, Veg, Insects, Birds and Mammals. With everything being infected, most all these creatures are full-size and sentient. While the humans are out looting vaults and eating squirrel bits, these factions fight it out in gardens, farms, forests and the wasteland for their own nefarious needs.

The Veggies want world piece, and plan to do it by eliminating all other forces so that they can grow to immense sizes without competition. Turnips the size of bungalows will provide shelter to those that have been deprived of it in the nuclear holocaust. Most of the Veggies are large in size but fairly stupid.

The Fruit seek to plant themselves within human society and seek to eventually outlive them by first having the humans become reliant on fruit after all other animals and plants have died, and then activate the poison glands that the radiation has given them.

I'd divulge the details of the insect, bird and mammal rebellion, but I think I'm taking up too much space already :p

When I was younger I imagined a 3rd person RPG set in modern day (say.. 2010). Aliens helped the Egyptians build the pyramids and spawned the Egyptian mythology as a way to enslave the people and harvest natural resources for themselves without actually being there. Unfortunately other people started realizing how effective religion was and started incorporating their own.

When the aliens return in 2010 to collect the fruits of their (our) labour, they realize that they are worshipped no more.

I haven't thought of it any more than this but it will involve some sort of religious conflict between the people of the earth and religious extremist aliens cursing Ra.

Your on a camping trip by yourself.

Your being hunted by a family of inbred hillbillies,or maybe just one lone psycho.

First person veiw.

Huge open world outdoor environment like along the lines of Farcry 2 but with more access to mountain areas.

You have to evade being captured,avoid traps,or go on the offensive and hunt them yourself.

You leave footprints in mud etc that can give away your direction,likewise your enemy.

Minimal HUD display or none at all,to add to the immersion.

You may or may not see another character for ages as your enemy is staying hidden,like yourself.Basically a long,slow,tense hunting sim to balance out all the wham bam blow up shooters out there.

A game where you play as a crime fighter who works in the suburban area in the South East of England known as Medway. It involves making all the local thugs fear you, to the point where there aren't any of the attacks you hear about on the news. Weapons involve anything you can lay your hands on, and melee combat is basically bar room brawling. In the wake of your emergance, the kids form organised gangs which hire their own muscle (these would be the big boss fights).

I'm not sure where things would go from here. I've come up with this within 10 minutes and I don't think it's very good, so feel free to add to it.

That would make a great Xbox Live arcade game.
