Idea(s) for Final Project

I have two ideas for a final project, just in case my initial one is turned down.
My first idea is to design a game that is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the sterotype that video games are "destroying decent society". I picture it being a kind of shooter in which a youth is escaping from a game addiction treatment facility that brainwashes it's patients to be "good americans"

I have proposed this game for my other game theory class as well. I don't know if I could present different aspects (come up with the structure of the gameplay in one class and design a level or two for the other) or not but I figured if I was working on the same game for both classes I could make the finished product that much stronger.

My other idea was to recreate the san francisco campus as realistically as possible. Kind of like "America's Army" it could serve as a form of "soft-sell" advertizing for the school. The idea would be to give potential students the chance to explore the grounds without travelling to CA.

Andy Cox:

Both are good ideas. I like the idea of working on it in both classes. It would not be too hard to build a basic level with some AI characters blocking the way. It would be good if they were weilding giant syringes rather than guns!
