Hopefully someone will consider making a game like that. I personally am tired of the usual stuff we get, and would like to see some out-of-the-box thinking. For example, I really want to see a call of duty type of game. Or something like Rise son of Rome. I'm not saying that it's easy of course, as I know nothing of development. I just would like to see us catch up with the mainstream in terms of game titles. And game types. Another example I think would be a game similar to something called world of tanks. I saw a commercial for that's this weekend, and really wish I could play.
