What?
Play games and record them.

That is all you have to do
if you are on PC, you could do a series where you take a look at the games you have, and find out if you actually should have bought them.

How could you have run out of ideas? I never really thought that a gaming channel went beyond making lets plays, commentaries, top tens and montages 
What do you mean by original ideas?
If the problem is you want to find a new kind of gaming content, why not look at current shows on TV and try and turn into something you can do.
There is no original ideas anymore in the world anymore (at least that's what I think), just different ones mixed and matched or adapted for a new purpose.
If you have run out of games to do online, find some free online ones. Maybe even some flash games, you would be surprised what you could do.
Free online games I would suggest playing:
The Last Stand Series
Rebuild 2 (zombie strategy)
Attack on Titan fan game
Hope this helps.

What else is there to do with a gaming channel man? I mean, you are very restricted to what you can do with that. People are expecting you to play games. For me, a lot of gaming channels are the same. Just different people commenting on them.
Why not try these ideas out for one video to see if they get a good response. If they do, keep going with the idea. If they don't, just leave them behind

Okay. Might do an evaluation of my Steam Library, but who'd want to see that?

TL; DR:
Post and play what interests you. Don't worry about views, subscribers, what people want you to post or getting big. Have fun
You might not have the creative YouTuber chops if you have run out of unique and interesting ideas. What you could do which is what a lot of people do on YouTube is make content that interests you. Talk about stuff that interests you, play games that interest you. If you have run out of ideas of what to post or make than you might be doing YouTube for the wrong reasons.
Back in September of 2012 when I decided I wanted to start a YouTube Gaming Channel I wanted to take it very slowly. I wanted to come up with ideas, sit and dwell on them so they would become creative, unique and interesting so I would be able to stand out. Also, I wanted to do YouTube for the right reasons. I didn't jump into making a channel, tackling the trends and doing everything everyone else was. Money and Recognition didn't cross my mind nearly as much as the excitment of having people to talk with about our common interests in gaming. Showing who you are is a very important part of YouTube. I wanted to show how creative, entertaining and interesting I can be but also still have people I can share my thoughts and ideas with. I studied many channels and the ins and outs of YouTube and I still don't have a channel where I have a single video I have created.
Just in the last month have I joined YTTALK and finally ordered parts for a new PC. I might not even get into making videos for another few months after those new PC parts arrive either. I wanted and still want to make a Gaming Channel that is about my interests in Gaming, Entertainment and Comedy. I have searched for the past two years and I have yet to find a YouTube channel with content similar to my hobbies and interests. I have got well over 60 video Ideas that I want to make and post (I am talking about just within the last month), about 20 of them can be adapted into a unique series of its own. Now I'm closer than ever to finally getting on YouTube but like I said I might not even be ready to post on YouTube. My point is, you seem like you have rushed into this YouTube thing and you don't really know why you have a channel that you are posting videos on or even what you want to post.
I know this has all sounded like a rant and maybe It sounds like I am trying to throw crap at you but just make your channel about you. To many people worry about what they are going to post next because they want to continue to do things that are popular that will get them views instead of what catches their attention. When in fact the more you are passionate about something and committed to something the more people with those same feelings, passion and interests will gravitate towards you. A lot of Vloggers and Gamers get big that way. Don't try to fake it though, it has to be natural. People can pick up on disengenious behavior, just look at iJustine and GGG.

If you turned it into a "is this worth your money" kind of thing, some people. If you have a look in your library and evaluate whether is was worth it and whether or not its just gathering dust, then people would want to see that.
It would give people an idea of perhaps the replay-ability. Or you could turn it into something else, that's my suggestion. You need to add your own tinge to it and make sure its both engaging and entertaining.
A good creator can turn a bad idea into a brilliant success. Look at PewdiePie

Honestly, I wanted to entertain people. I wanted to really be respected for once, because in my real life, I am rubbish to others. But YouTube helps me to express myself. Thanks for reminding me of who I need to be, not who I am.

Thing is, I can't make people replay it, no matter how hard I try.
