many things stupid in this article. basically everything is overused. Article should have had the title: most not used setting in games. answer: reality.
also, i don’t like the word overused. should have been most used. with a different list.

So where else do you want games to be based?? Desert is not really done that much & uncharted 3 is going there… but no because U3 is going to be in the desert you automatically add it to your list…. News FLASH: THAT’S ALL WE’VE GOT!

I guess you want a game seting based on your livingroom. Oh wait, there is one. It’s called “Your Hurting Life”

I know which setting isn’t covered that can be brought back from the past! The food theme! Imagine a call of Duty food fight set in a ginger bread house…

Seriously though, I agree with all the comments. all those settings are rdidculously ambiguous and covers not only every video game out there (even the good ones) but also a whole lot of films and books.

Interesting thing is, when I think of “over used jungle setting” I don’t think of Mario, or Sonic, I only think of FPSs. And when I think of “Ice wasteland theme” I don’t think of COD, I think of old school platform games. So I’m not really sure if it’s fair to lump them all together just because one of them has trees and the other has snow :/

Other popular themes you should add to your list so that future games are made in a blank white box:

Near future despotic government setting.
Near future
Far future
Any type of future
The past
Alien world (surprise you didn’t think of that eh?)
Anyone I haven’t mentioned.

Now you’ve completely covered everything!

Sigh I can never get the time back I spent reading your article. At least this content gives me good reason to never read your site again.
