Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Developed by Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division Released in 1998 for Nintendo 64 game console Action-adventure game The first Legend of Zelda game in the series with 3-D graphics

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Plot: “The player controls the series' trademark hero, Link, in the land of Hyrule. Link sets out on a quest to stop Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo tribe, from obtaining the Triforce, a sacred relic that grants the wishes of its holder. Link travels through time and navigates various dungeons to awaken sages who have the power to seal Ganondorf. Music plays an important role—to progress, the player must learn to play and perform several songs on an ocarina.” (Wikipedia)LinkHyruleGanondorfGerudo tribeTriforceocarina

Batman: Arkham Asylum Developed by Rocksteady Studios Released in 2009 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows Action-adventure game Based on DC Comics’ Batman as opposed to TV/Movie version

Batman: Arkham Asylum Plot: “ The Joker, Batman's arch enemy, has instigated an elaborate plot from within Arkham Asylum where many of Batman's other villains have been incarcerated. Batman investigates and comes to learn that the Joker is trying to create an army of Bane-like creatures to threaten Gotham City, and is forced to put a stop to the Joker's plans.” (Wikipedia)The JokerArkham AsylumBaneGotham City

What I like about those games: The action-adventure aspect The creation of an alternate universe with an entire set of characters The ability to fight minor villians as they appear The gameplay involved in fighting (Batman’s stealth, the use of Link’s sword and shield, etc.)

Game Idea Combine the idea of the superhero with the idea of the spiritual/supernatural – Many games tend to fall into either category Use superhero characters not based on comics or characters already made popular by TV/Movies Borrow elements from comics/superhero based games such as Batman and put a more spiritual spin

Game Idea Action-adventure game – Multiple levels – Multiple Bosses (sub-bosses and one main boss) – New world of characters and landscapes – A plotline that is consistent and easy to understand, yet still complicated enough to be challenging – Tackles real-world issues in the context of the game

Game Idea “The Chosen Ones” Base Plot: – The world of Cavalia is dying. Centuries of over-development and extreme technological advancements are rapidly depleting the planet of its natural supply of precious gemstones. The gemstones are the essence of Cavalia: they are the source of natural resources and power the machines, the cities, and the people themselves. Every living being contains a gemstone and that stone is what gives them their life essence. When it dies, they die. The gemstones’ powers are limited because they are not everlasting and must be replenished naturally. Cavalia is consuming faster than the gems can be replenished, which is leading to the ultimate destruction of the world. It is up to 4 kids, from 4 different regions, who must find each other and together save their world.

Game Idea Each of the 4 kids possess a special stone (amethyst, diamond, sapphire, emerald) They were “chosen” in the sense that it was predetermined that they would have to combine their gems to save the planet The game borrows real world elements (global warming/apocalyptic/technology/etc)
