According to Kotaku, a marketing survey has been circulating asking consumers questions about what they’d like to see next in the Halo franchise. Specifically asking which other genre of games would be most appealing with the Halo brand attached to it. If you were to ask me, I think a LEGO game would be the best bet, since those games are so popular and it would gain access to kids that are too young to appreciate the line of Halo first-person shooters.

However, my attention does draw toward the third option in the survey, that being a Halo-themed racing game. In my vanity, I’d like to take credit for this, should it ever come to fruition. My friends will vouch (and I’m sure I have recorded proof somewhere) that I conceived the idea of “Halo Kart” about three years ago.

I couldn’t be that hard to do, really. You already have the vehicle driving engine, a good couple vehicles to choose from, and the ability to use weapons. All you really need are some decent tracks and you’re off! To make it interesting, I suppose they could make some kind of gameplay element where you can leave the vehicle to engage in on-foot shenanigans.

I confess, I’m no fan of Halo (outside of the Red Vs. Blue series), but I can certainly see potential for the franchise.
