I can't remember the name of the game, but I remember downloading the demo way back when I was on 56K and playing against other people. In it you played as Norse warriors with big axes, shields, swords, and all that kind of stuff. What was unique about it? You could chop off bodyparts of other people. Not only that, but you could pick them up and use them as weapons. Not only that, but if you died you could pick up your head from a previous life and throw it at whoever killed you to piss them off (and do a bit of damage).

Are you talkling about "Rune"? If so I recall playing that game into 2002 (2003 maybe) or so despite it being old at the time. That game had some truly fun multi player components, If only they made a sequel to that game. I do remember ripping people apart, I don't recall being able to use there body parts though (That could just be bad memory though). Still, It was a very fun game at the time when I played it.
On the topic of uniqe concepts, Half Life 2 always struck me as original in terms of re-energizing the FPS formula. I guess the Gravity Gun stuck out the most, Some of the environment puzzles were just so fun to complete - I guess now it's been played to death but I only picked it up in early 2006 so It seemed mostly new to me.
How ya doing, buddy?
