Do Video Games Need To Be More Evil?

Ian Fisher writes: As different as video games may be from other forms of entertainment like literature or films, video games have usually followed the typical conceit of having a protagonist that is a complete hero or a loveable flawed hero that may or may not have a chip on their shoulder. Saving the day from an alien invasion or destroying a criminal empire may be fun but at this point I’m wondering why some video games don’t offer us a chance to become evil by putting us in the shoes of a villain or someone who doesn’t have the moral compass to do the right thing every now and then.
