Overlooked themes in games

Upon reading this Kotaku piece on gaming’s next “hot destination”, I decided to throw on my thinking cap and come up with a few new ideas for game themes. While the piece in question deals with places – I’m all about historical periods and interesting events. That’s right, kids – it’s time to play with history!Vikings:Ok, so this is sort of hinted at in the Kotaku article, but imagine how cool it would be to play as a total badass viking warrior, either in a God of War style game or a more strategy-oriented title. You could pillage and plow through little defenseless villages and get back in your boat just in time for drinking songs! Heck, I could even go for a modern re-imagining of SNES classic The Lost Vikings.
