As psyched as we are to kill our poor, defenseless dudes in From Dust, we can only hope it's as satisfying as our favorite kills in god games.

11 | Evil Genius - Laser Torture |
Evil Genius isn't the best God game anyone ever made, but, if you've ever wanted to play a Bond game as the bad guy, you'll get plenty of satisfaction out of tying an agent up and torturing him with a laser until he croaks. So yeah, Activision, instead of rebooting GoldenEye 007 with Daniel Craig, why not give us a game where we can play as Goldfinger or Dr. No? Or Christopher Walken and Grace Jones co-op from A View To A Kill? Just saying, a little originality wouldn't hurt you as a publisher.
10 | Doshin The Giant - Evil Rampage |
Nintendo's God game never came out in North America, but you can spot Doshin in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy. If you import the game, you can turn into Doshin's evil, red alter ego, Jashin the Hate Giant. As Jashin, you can absorb the villagers' hatred by stomping around the town, Godzilla-style, punching and throwing fire at everything living and structural. All that hatred, represented as cartoon skulls, helps your big oafish self grow even bigger and oafisher.
9 | Viva Pinata - Shovel Whack |
Viva Pinata is a critically good game; I will not argue with that. But it sure did piss me off a lot. I took that out on my pinatas by whacking them with a shovel, which releases their delicious candy and also their souls.
