The idea is to challenge the developers to NOT make games like Halo and GTA. If you hate Halo you should probably be interested in something like this. Obviously it'll never happen, but the goal is to make a game concept that is totally different from everything else out there.
There is a game made by Avalon Hill called Betrayl at House on the Hill. It's a tile game. The game is split into two phases. For the first part you build the haunted house and basically collect items and beef up your character. Eventually something triggers the "haunt" and the game shifts gears. There are 50 different haunts. One player becomes the traitor and the others band together to stop him/her. Every haunt has a different objective and the game is a ton of fun.
I had a chance to play this at E3. You can see my impression here. It's a really cool game. It felt a bit early, but it should be awesome by the time it's out.
gullible
adj 1: naive and easily deceived or tricked; "at that early age she
had been gullible and in love" [syn: fleeceable, green]
2: easily tricked because of being too trusting; "gullible
tourists taken in by the shell game"
There seems to be a recent outbreak in these "drive by hackings." Thank the gods my friend registered www.drivebyhacking.com a couple months ago. Now we just have to figure out what to put up there.

Blast, beaten to the joke. I was hoping to make this one.

Damn, I was hoping that the orange one would make the cut. I really liked it.
