I like to think of what type of action/puzzle game I would create like Escape From Monkey Island, Day of The Tentacle, and Psychonauts. I guess because it has so much great dialogue and comedy. There are not enough games like that in my opinion, where dialogue and the comedy of the game carry it and is the main attraction or driving force. I would love to be a part of the writing of the dialogue, comedy, and story more so than design. I would probably have it surrounding the life of a dog- dogs would be in there somewhere. Oooh, just imagine Little Bush meets Monkey Island- it writes itself!
Ico and Shadow of Colossus I think are absoultely magnificent. I also wish there were more games like that where you feel like you are in a moving painting. There is no dialogue but it is very emotional and profoundly beautiful and interesting and I don't know how to describe it. If I was an exceptional artist I would also want to make games like that.
