Here are some research ideas that then got scrapped.  This was because members didnt like the ideas i was presenting or that they wouldnt fit what we already have or we thought of a better idea! These links to games are some game ideas in terms of style, story, mechanics, layout and dialogue

http://mcpixel.net/ - game mechanics and style.  This game makes no sence and just is alot of fun.  I thought the game mechanics could be an interesting insipration as this game as a whole reminds me of early games such as Portopia.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRNyfzKLL8&feature=plcp - game style, layout and mechanics.  The levels and lay out of the game are more centerd to what our original idea is and thought the style fitted in nicely aswell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfs2gNNFgTg&feature=channel&list=UL - style, layout and music.  This game is noncence and all about "bros" and being silly!  The style is bright, vibrant and lively.  The music is also amazing; the game itself is influenced by the 80's and has its own 80's influenced music and almost everything on the game has its own 80's style theme tune - even items and new powers.
