I have always liked murder sims such as Doom and GTA, but I always felt they were lacking. Sure, they help you prepare for committing violence in real life, but they're too small scale. Doom is great for kids who want to shoot up a school, but what about people like me who want go all Milosevic on your ass? Well, that's why there's the Rampage series. If you've ever wanted to be a giant monster like Slobodan Milosevic or Lizzie The Lizard, now there's Rampage: Total Destruction. It's the best murder sim EVER.

In all seriousness, R:TD is a pretty cool game. There's 30 playable monsters (24 need to be unlocked) and the disc includes Rampage and the Rampage: World Tour as well. There's a lot of detail in the game, it's just good ol' fashioned psychopathic fun. And it's only $19.99.
There are two downsides to the game, however.
1. The game is in 3D, so the controls take a little bit of time to get used to. It's not quite as intuitive as the older games.
2. You can't do a campaign with more than 2 players. There are still some 4 player modes though.
