Well, its nearly impossible to just tell someone what kinda game he should make. Usually people who want to make a game already have plenty of ideas and are looking for a tool to make them real. Its rarely ever the other way around

Video games are a relatively new form of entertainment so its save to say that the majority of ideas have not even been touched upon.

Just browse some art blog like this. Every picture should give ya at least half a dozen ideas for a game.

As Wolf said, it's not an easy task giving people other ideas, there's so much involved, and to be honest the process of creating a game is to have an idea, and then realize it by creating it, if you don't have an idea for a game in the first place, then it's going to be difficult to create a game.

I started with an idea for my game "The Island", and as i have progressed through creating media for the levels, through level design, and scripting i've hit limitations, and changed my idea hundreds of times, each time i have had to rethink my premise for the game, which started off being stranded on an island, exploring, encountering mutants, and escaping, and is now starting off in a city, getting a call about a missing professor, searching the city for clues, hiring a boat to the island, then exploring, finding the professor, discovering a plot to create super soldier mutants, defeating the bad guys, and escaping the island, then tracking the evil genius down to another city, confronting and killing him.

A very different story to how i started out, and now a lot less about the island itself than i envisioned, and that's how game development works, you start from a simple idea, then as you plan it out, it evolves, at each stage where it needs to evolve you need that creative spark to bring it to life, if you don't have it in the initial idea phase then it may not come to you at the evolution stages.

"Kill your darlings" as the writers say.
Your final product will always be a reduced, frankenstein version of your original idea but that does not mean that it will be in any way a bad game.

If you don't have an original idea then perhaps aim to recreate an existing game.
