Hi Philip, Another thought, though I realise I'm bombarding the thread somewhat <grin>. Just remembered that you were the guy who did showdown. If online gameplay was something you'd be keen on, maybe a revamped version of something along those lines would be cool with the new swanky sounds and voiceovers you're capable of these days. You could push it as far as you wanted, different playing venues, types of matches, some sort of career mode involving upgrading your gear or training to improve or the like. I have a feeling that no matter how simple a game concept is, people will go mad for it if the online element is in there... or at least... I would.
