New Games Keeping Me Busy
Been a long time since my last posting. My 5 month old son, my wife, and a couple new computer games have been keeping me pretty busy lately.
A month or two ago, I started playing Swat 4. I was a big fan of all the original Police Quest games (a genre that I wish would come back properly, not with just FPS action like in this game) so I took to this game. Swat 4 is definitely enjoyable, but it really only captured my attention for a couple weeks. It became very repetitive very quickly.
I'd love to see someone remake the original Police Quest series where you live the life of a rookie cop and have to work your way up the ranks of the force. Making routine traffic stops, drug busts, etc would be great. It would combine strategy, RPG, driving, and FPS genres possibly. The game may really only work in 3rd person perspective though, but can you imagine cruising the streets of your neighborhood only to see someone run a stop sign, so you flip on the blues and take off after them. For this to work, it couldn't be scripted like the original games were.
This is the police game that I have been waiting for since the original Police Quest series was completely f'd up with the first Swat full motion video game. I just don't think there are enough gutsy development houses out there that would be willing to try something new.
Tell me what you think. What game have you wished forever that someone would make?

I really want to play a full on remake of carrier command.
It would have up to date graphics (of course!), full multiplayer so all your buddies could fly each of the craft and ships as a team.
The key main thing would be that it would keep the free form map.
I actually develop software for a living and so I keep promising myself that I'll try and develop this myself (this will never happen!)

I would like to bring back the old novel stories such as Romeo and Juliet. It would be a challenge to bring the classics to the highest form of art(video game).
