Couple problems bub...
1. We don't see an idea.
2. If we don't see an idea, we can't help you.
Other than that, if you google, there's quite a few references out there on how to create games.
Now, if this idea is completely outta your ass, then I'm not sure how I could point you in the right direction on that, other than reading up on some resources about putting ideas to reality.
If the idea is something like a modification of a game, like say Day of Defeat for Half Life, most games offer resources that allow independent developers to create modifications.
Just keep in mind, creating games takes alot of resources, time, and dedication. Companies work on games for a year or more, there's usually about...20-50 programmers, graphic developer, etc etc working on the same game. Even more is working on marketing the game, promoting the game.
Like Seanland said, you could pass the idea on to a corpo mofo. Even if they use it, they might not even give credit for your idea.
Jade Empire, just recently released, was made by a upstarting company by a group of gamers. The project took 3 or so years to complete. Long time but I'm sure those group of gamers are overjoyed to see the end results of their hard work.
