The Best Game Ever...? -

Oi!
I figure, of all of you, i have a pretty solid fan base of Gamer Enthusiasts (tm) and guy's who've no doubt lost a good part of their life to FPS's. Where could you possibly find such a perfect grab bag of gamers to quiz for the best game ever?
Consider this market research. I'm working on a mod right now, and the basic idea is that it's like Dawn of the Dead / Resident Evil in an FPS. You've played Resident Evil. You know it's a ridiculous maze of uninspired puzzles you never find in real life. You played Undying (maybe? If you didn't...you sack of manjuice you...), and it was a failure because althought it was scary, it ultimately ended up drifting off into other dimensions with weird hell levels and shit.
I want to make a zombie FPS that is TRULY scary, that has a very personal quality. Almost like They Hunger for Half-Life, Except nothing paranormal, a very solid scientific solution to zombies, and a very personal and frightening experience. I want people to attach to characters and really feel the pull of the days weeks and months as they go by.
HA! You say too ambitious? I say not ambitious enough!
Either way, consider yourselves hot sexy market research. Here's what i'd like to ask. Feel free to post as many times as you want with ideas, but here's the rules:
1: No major plot points. Don't start suggesting "Ooooo you should visit KK's bedroom and like blow it up with explosive dildos LOL hawhaw". The story is already written out and planned.
2: Your post can't be more than 2 lines. Get your idea and your plan out there in 2 lines. This is to encourage you to be simple and to the point.
3: You've got 2 lines to make one point, and then every other post has to be a seperate point.
4: Although you can't suggest plot, subjects totally open for discussion include anything else, from major characters to weapons to scare tactics to music and lighting.
