I think a great game would be Army Men RTS, it's like starcraft, but you play little plastic army men. It is the COOLEST thing! Sure there is violence, but no blood, just blobs of plastic! Check it out here.

I'd love to see such a game as a massive-multiplayer-online sort of game.

Check out Jumpgate (and the fan site Planet Jumpgate)

Funny bit --
Extensively quoted in the Dreamcast article about Sega getting out of the hardware business because of a failed home video game console and moving exclusively into the software business is none other than Trip Hawkins, (co?)founder of Electronic Arts and 3DO (both of which had rather similar logos ;-) ... who is the all-time-undisputed-king of "Overhyped Console Maker drops its Console and goes Software Only"! :-) (Any /. readers old enough to remember how CRAZY the early Wired magazine from the early '90s hyped this thing up know what I'm talking about... ;)

Heroes III is the most addictive game ever. This game is the culmination of all that is good about board games and computer games. My girlfriend and I have logged hundreds of hours. If your into strategy games / RPG this game is a must-have.

Heroes takes a turn based approach to play that leaves time to go to the fridge and refresh that can of pop. Turns comprise three types of action divided between exploration, building, and fighting. Single player games against the computer AI are fun, but the multiplayer games absolutely rock. Be sure to set aside about 6 hours for any decent sized map, though!
