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

7. The Sims - Murdering Your Sims

TYOA Rewind
Electronic Arts

Ah, the Sims. The popular simulation franchise that lets you experience what it's like to have a happy, fulfilling life just like you've always wanted. What could be more enjoyable than watching little virtual people cook dinner, have conversations, fall in love... okay, I'm bored now. Not evil enough for me.

Turns out living a happy, fulfilling life just like you've always wanted gets pretty dull after a while. And when you're bored of simulating life, what's an evil mastermind to do but simulate death? Take those happy little gits and wipe the undeserving smiles off their faces! Burn them! Electrocute them! Build an expensive swimming pool, make everyone swim in it, and then delete the ladder so they're forced to drown! And oh look, my old pal Death himself has arrived to take care of the funeral arrangements.

Ah, that was fun, wasn't it? ...what do you mean "yes it was fun for a brief second but now everybody's dead and you can't kill them again so it's not fun anymore"?
