Want some originality in your games? look no further.
Explanation:
There is a fake twitter account called @PeterMolydeux, who keep putting out the strangest and most bizarre game ideas. Examples: "How about an escort mission where YOU play as the escort for a horrible agent. Give them a mental breakdown by repeatably getting in the way", "Game where an asteroid is about to hit earth, the aim is not to stop it but to say goodbye to every family member. You have 120 of them.", "You are a small girl flying a talking kite. The kite seems to know about a upcoming major terrorist attack and floats towards clues.", "Imagine a game with 1 goal which is to kill yourself. Now imagine that the environment constantly adapts to stop you. Excited?" and so on.
Last month there was an indie jam where each participant took one of these tweets and tried to turn it into a working game. The results are found here: http://www.whatwouldmolydeux.com/, and it is well worth a look, the games ranges from unplayable to strokes of genius.
