Top 5 Felonies That Deserve Their Own Games

Videogames, despite the insistence of a few vocal tools, exist for morethan the simple gratification of violent and criminal desire. But let'spretend they don't for a second. While an awful lot of felonies havebeen explored in the gaming space -- and a few even have games namedafter them (Grand Theft Auto, Murder Death Kill) -- it might come as apleasant revelation that we haven't yet gotten around to delving intoevery single nook and cranny of human depravity. Sure, we've got gamesdedicated to murder, arson, rape, racketeering, and even war crimes,but there are still a few devious stones left unturned....
5. Tax Evasion

"Allright, so it's kind of hard to imagine how this one could be much fun,but it's even harder not to mention it around this time of year whenthe temptation weighs so heavily on us all. Press the X button to takeunauthorized deductions for personal expenses on a business tax return!Swing the Wii Remote to overestimate the value of property donated tocharity! Quarter-circle-forward+low punch to set up an offshoreresidence! Yeah, it comes off as somewhat less than thrilling. 
4. Embezzlement

Nowwe're getting somewhere. Well, OK, it'd still amount to mucking aroundon an Excel spreadsheet. Except...well, MS Excel is apparently a "revolutionary game engine."No, really. Granted, making a videogame inside the thing is a littlelike jerking off with chopsticks (i.e., it's really hard and maybeembarrassing to brag about, even if you can somehow do it). But checkout DEV-EX. It's hard not to be impressed.               
3. Possession of a Controlled Substance With Intent to Sell

Thishas actually been touched on a little bit in videogames, but we'restill waiting for someone to really get it right. Sure, you spent ahuge amount of time running drugs in Scarface: The World Is Yours, butit still felt more like you were just playing Paperboy with blow.Beyond the simple economics of the job, they'd need to add a few NPCswe could slowly transform from active, healthy human beings toscabrous, emaciated wretches that shuffle and scratch at themselveswhile pleading for a fix. Goddamn the pusher man.      
2. Treason
Nowthis is one with a whole range of possibilities depending on the nationand era. Probably the most interesting angle would be that of a wartimepropaganda broadcaster. Like Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw-Haw, the game wouldrequire you to utter subversive diatribes into a microphone to sap themorale of your enemies, until you're eventually caught and executed.This would, however, be pretty much indistinguishable from any gameplayed on Xbox Live.      
1. Medical Malpractice

Short of just playing Trauma Center really poorly, or maybe freeware Civil War battlefield surgery sim Dark Cut 2,we've never gotten a real "bad doctor" simulator. But let's ineptly cuton people and see some reward for it. We could accidentally amputatethe wrong limbs, unnecessarily remove organs and sell them, or just sewrandom wacky items inside someone's abdominal cavity. It'd be like Burnout with scalpels.
