What about Jack Bauer?

Half-Life meets Shadow of the Colossus, I have no idea how it would work. But the mental image of Gordon Freeman clinging to a Colossus' head wailing away with the crowbar is awesome.

I've been endlessly entertained by the thought of an Ace Attorney / Oregon Trail crossover in which a young aspiring attorney, Nicholas Wright, takes the trek in order to be Oregon's first defense lawyer. Along the way, the entire plot of the first three Ace Attorney games basically takes place in a Wild West setting, with all the supporting characters filling Wild West archetypes.

So, for example, Nicholas begins the experience traveling alongside a potential love interest and legal mentor in Mia, who gets gunned down early on by a vengeful ex-businessman turned vigilante roaming the Kansas countryside named Redd White, and Nicholas is forced to track him down and bring him to justice in an impromptu 'court session' held with wagon train members as 'jurors.'

The best part would be incorporating old Wild West tropes into explaining the origins of the characters. Instead of being a real judge, The Judge would be a lovable yet naive old man who still referred to the United States as 'colonies' of Great Britain, who the wagon train members would promote to the role of 'judge' in all Nicholas' mock trials. Edgeworth would be Nicholas' old legal rival, who once trekked out west with a wagon train years ago, and who Nicholas has assumed was long dead. Franziska von Karma would be a beautiful German Fraulein who followed Nicholas to Independence, Missouri in the hopes of getting revenge, as during his former private practice years back east, Nicholas was responsible for bringing her villainous father to justice. William Powers would be a famous duelist with really quick fingers, forced into the bloody role due to its entertainment value and profitability in the Wild West, a legend in his own right yet absolutely miserable with his violent occupation. Lawrence Butz would be an army private who defected and lived a vagrant's life out west, stalking every attractive woman he met in wagon trains he would interject himself upon. Carolyn Hart (believe it or not, Lotta stems from Carol) would be an annoying, artistically inclined Southern Belle convinced that the south would soon declare independence and hellbent on making the lives of northern Yankees hell.

I'm telling you: This idea writes itself.

The thing is, though, that MOST ideas can be easily transplanted to a Wild West setting. Try to identify the origin of the paragraph below.

A group of gruff American cowboys end up lost in the desert after fleeing from an ambush by a spiritualistic tribe of Native Americans with strange powers. They eventually find a massive set of caves where they take shelter from the harsh desert sun, but that is also heavily patrolled by the tribe. One of the cowboys, the Chief, who was an incredibly talented marksman, spent time exploring the caves after overhearing one of the tribe members talking about a holy monument within. Eventually, the Chief uncovered a terrifying race of man-eating bugs that had been sealed away by humans who had lived in America long ago. The Chief learns that the caves are actually a weapon designed to combat these bugs, but just as he is about to activate them, it is revealed through cave paintings on the walls that the weapon will actually kill all of the humans on the continent; the bugs will simply starve to death. In a last stab at saving America, the Chief decides to detonate the massive reserves of alcohol in the caravan the group had brought in order to collapse the cave system and destroy the weapon. In the end, he succeeds but is the last survivor of the cowboy group. He rides off into the sunset on one of the caravan's horses, knowing in his heart that the fight against the Native American tribe had just begun.

With just a little effort, you could give the same treatment to just about anything else, too... though I'll admit the above paragraph (SPOILERS IT'S HALO) was terribly written and completely rushed.

Stop destroying my crossover dreams with your doses of pragmatism, Kerensky. =(

Besides, there's no way the Wild West trope could be as overdone as transplanting science fiction characters into a medieval fantasy setting, or vice-versa.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of Altair kicking ass in a Mass Effect cameo. Which would also be a pretty rockin' crossover.

Boondocks and Baccano.

Boondock Saints and any Tarentino film.

King Arthur and Robin Hood, though I think I heard of this being done once, but poorly.

Sin City and the Original TMNT comics.

Warbot and Dilbert.

This.

Also, didn't we have a terrible crossover in between everything in existence written like a 13 year old's fanfic, known as the Subspace Emissary?
