I had an idea similar to that. Your job was to go out and capture those Pokemon things. However, you weren't going to catch them to make them battle. You were to use them in food recipes. It was to be called "Pokemon Snack!" hehehe...

My nieces didn't like that idea, especially the phrase "Gotta eat 'em all!".

I'm Ok. Absolutely hilarious but really mean towards controversial game lovers and haters alike

http://www.imok.gzwn.net/

My own evil game idea was to have a space marine with crappy mum jokes shoot alien Nazi's with every type of stereotyped gun (historic and futuristic) for no reason whatsoever, then at the end of fighting every single alien Nazi(I'm talking a lot of them) you eventually have to fight some random combination of, say, a Hunter from Halo (except 10 times bigger) and Hitler. It will feature a lot of stairs and elevators, no strategic way of shooting Nazi's and just a plain bore fest. Strapping someone to their chair and forcing someone to play it would probably be quite evil

There's this game that deletes a random file on your HDD if you kill an enemy, I think.

It's called Lose/Lose. Don't recommend to play it, won't link to it either.

Virus writers could be more creative and make a game out of destroying your PC lol
i.e. you have ten seconds to answer a riddle or all your files are deleted!
I can imagine some sort of Saw-style gruelling set of challenges to complete in order to save your HDD.
*You phone for help* [CLICK!] "Now now, I told you not to do that. Your time is now halved!"
eeevil!

In MGS (snake eater I think) there's a level where you walk through a river that is haunted by all the people you've killed. I don't know if they are just random baddies or actually the ones I offed but it was certainly unsettling. I don't know if that's evil but it was a bit of a mind-screw.
I am playing Siren Blood Curse at the moment. The scaryness is starting to wear off on me, which is a shame, but I've never played a game where I've felt so vulnerable.
If messing with your emotions is evil then those two are very evil!

How about this? A game where if you play badly the game just gets harder. Worse... every time you continue the current game state is saved so that if you use that save file again the game is still hard (and the odds are stacking even more against you). Worse still if you can't get past that level then your game save is erased.

In the beginning there was nothing. There'll be nothing in the end...

the evilest game would have to be one of those games that takes hours creating and customizing your character, but then when you die your character is gone forever! bwa hahahaha!

I just finished a TGC-unrelated game that made two playtesters hurt themselves out of frustration, and one playtester burst into tears.

I'd probably make Demon Souls for PSN.

Just got an idea for an evil racing game. well, more "realistic" than "evil".

You play a racing game that uses simulation racing physics, the ability to adjust the many components in your car, and you get to choose several hundred real life cars, and even buy/sell them online (using ingame money, of course) and put your own graphics on them.

So what's different about this game? If you crash, you have to pay your hospital fee as well as the repair fee for your car. And if you crash horribly enough, you die... your game file is erased and all those cars you played so hard to collect are gone. >:- D

I can think of a more evil racing game...
Your bare foot is strapped to the accelerator and while it's pressed you receive an electric shock.
Get ready for 200 laps of the nurberg ring!
and if you don't win we'll blast your head off with a cannon!

Or a pokemon style game where the final boss says "hey I'm tired of making these poor pokemon fight, how about we just toss a coin and bet all our pokemon"
[You have 3429 pokemon.]
[Do you want to gamble all your pokemon on a coin toss?]
[YES/NO]
"NO!"
[You have selected YES.]
[HEADS/TAILS/CALL OFF THE BET]
"Call off the bet! Call off the bet!!!"
[You have selected HEADS.]
[TAILS, you lose.]
[You have 0 pokemon.]

Orrrrr a MGS type one where the boss says "You haven't saved much, a risk taker are we? If you fail to defeat me I will reset your system and you'll lose all your progress! mwahahaha!"
