I thought this up once. I've been gradually refining it into the really lame excuse to shoot up robots it is now.

There's a locally known evil villain who is generally regarded as a crackpot with all sorts of plans to conquer the world. One day, he sees a UFO and shoots it down with his roof-mounted laser cannon, and goes to inspect the wreckage. He finds some really advanced cybernetics technology which earns him a vast army of powerful robots which are immune to almost all conventional weapons. He conquers most of the civilized world with his newfound power.
The player is a random guy who found his roof missing and a lot of debris in its place. He swears to get even with the robots, and acquires a riot shield and a chain-gun. You can probably guess the rest.

Yeah, I know it sucks, but I might be able to follow it up someday.

Sounds... interesting. But seriously, I'd try to make this type of game something arcadish in terms of camera and all that. PLEASE don't make it an FPS.

Actually, I think it would be the funniest FPS I ever saw if everything was done in a happy cartoon style and the robots all had big grins and used flowers as weapons. Or something.

I told you it sucked. (I need to stop posting topics on impulse.)[/align]

Stop posting topics on impulse????

You've been missing for weeks.

That would be a great idea!! (Meaning about the grinning robots) If you wanted them to you could make the blow up into stars that would fade out while music played! :D
As long as it's fun, a game needs no incredible story line.

If someone gets a headshot on one of the robots, make their head blow up and run around with a robotic scream. lol
