One thing that I think will suit a GURPS based computer game is a lower frequency of combat. The realism level inherent to GURPS makes combat more deadly and having the ability to be able to largely avoid combat entirely might fit.

How many combat heavy games result in situations where you are button mashing to dispatch a mob of 30 low level opponents. Personally I would think a rarer more detailed combat paradigm where the character is in genuine peril would suit the gurps mechanics better.
