A port of the SNES Shadowrun game over to the DS.
I’m a Shadowrun fan, so I ROFLed @ “Shadowrun” when it escaped for the Xbox 360. Shadowrun is an RPG, not a FPS — or at least, it shouldn’t solely be an FPS. I’m always amused when modern games bollocks a concept handled masterfully by older games.
A Star Wars game where I’m not a Jedi, Dark Jedi, or Sith.
And no, Star Wars Galaxies doesn’t count.
A game where corporations aren’t corrupt or, if they are, government intervention doesn’t involve killing everyone who threatens to expose the corruption.
The ghosts in Pac-Man were regular humans until Mezmeron Co. started P.R.O.J.E.C.T. Power Pellet.
A RTS which has working controls for a console controller.
I can run, jump, and shoot with no problem, but put me in front of an console-based RTS and it’s like I’m trying to draw breasts with an Etch A Sketch — the results are clumsy and awkward, and I’m left with a sense of disappointment and shame. Still, what do you expect on planet which still uses chunks of frozen water to cool drinks?

I couldn’t agree more with you on the Star Wars thing! I would just LOVE to play as a “scruffy lookin’” pirate that runs cargo for the Hutts or something…anything but a Jedi. Again. Not that I hate the Jedi, but they’ve been done more times than Leia in Jabba’s Palace! (Sorry).
