10 Video Game Moments You Played Again (Because You Were TOO EVIL)

8. Prey - Killing Your Ticket Out Of Here

As you near the completion of your mission aboard Talos One, the higher-ups at the Transtar Board of Directors decide to throw a spanner in the works by sending sneering spaceman Commander Dahl to kill you and everyone on board the space station. Ha! I don't think so Commander, not if I kill you first! It's not too difficult to locate Dahl and put a stop to his villainy by shouting "two wrongs DO make a right, actually!" and then murdering him to bits with your scientific-instrument-that-also-happens-to-function-as-a-deadly-weapon of choice.

There we go, now that's sorted we can get on with our day. Except... hang on, didn't that brainy bloke Dr Igwe tell us that Dahl was the only person on the entire station who could pilot a shuttle out of here, thereby saving our lives? No, no I didn't kill the only person who could save us from impending doom, not at all! He uh... he fell down the stairs in the... anti-gravity tunnel. Yeah. Tragic.
