Nice points about D.A.H. and Bioshock. Now, all that I ask is that there is more discovery of their mentality which leads to.. @ George: Indigo Prophecy would probably my ideal example if the gameplay wasn't doused in QTEs, and if the story wasn't poorly written. For the most part, the incorporation of the main character's mentality into a conscious element for the gamer to care about made the experience surprisingly different. There was a lot of focus on his development (mentally/physically) during the game, which is what I ended up enjoying the most. Thanks a lot guys.

I think that all your points were very interesting. I am also wanting to play more games where I am the bad guy. I also want to play more crazy games like Indigo Prophecy(which I still haven't beat, till I download it from Xbox Live). My ideal system for that game would be the PS3 due to limitless capabilities(This is coming from a Xbox360 fanboy). I mean if your going to put a game on Blue Ray and give me a system with 60 GB hard Drive or more let me kill it with your games not my movies. But anyways, I think we do need more games Bad Guy games. My final note, Keep up the Good Work at GameBlurg. Nice Article. I think that all your points were very interesting.

One good example of a game like this is Destroy All Humans you get to do everything imaginable from all the cliche alien movies as you pleases I think you would enjoy it. On another note many of our hero's today possess many villainous qualities for example Niko Belic did whatever it took to maintain the safety of his loved ones which meant killing, robbing, stealing, and etc. In Bioshock the main character used the same plasmids that drove the people of Rapture insane to stop Andrew. I think we may see more games that head into the direction of playing the bad guy as I think the days of the glorious hero are behind us.
