10 Video Games Where You’re Unknowingly The Bad Guy

So you’re home after a long day and have settled down on the couch or in front of your PC for a few hours of sweet, sweet video game time… It’s a joy, just a little leisure time to yourself to finish that epic quest, solve that final puzzle, or save the galaxy one more time. But what’s this? Some clever writing team has thrown you one more plot twist on your way to heroism and… Oh, this can’t be right. You’re the villain?

Surprise! You’ve stumbled upon one of gaming’s ultimate pleasures: The shocking revelation that you’ve been the bad guy all along, and it’s probably your fault that the galaxy needs saving in the first place. There’s nothing quite like finding out that you’re secretly the antagonist of a story and then figuring out if you can fix it… Or if you should just let the whole world burn down around you. It’s always a fun surprise, and only happens because your character has amnesia about half of the time.

So while you’re picking your jaw up off of the floor, why not hang out with us for a little while. After all, a video games tradition like this one deserves a closer look. From all-time great dramatic reveals like Silent Hill 2 and Heavy Rain, to introspective puzzlers like Braid and Shadow of the Colossus, to the pulpy melodrama of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Bioshock, and Prototype, we’re going to be taking a look at ten games where you turned out to be the villain all along...
