Evil Genius (PC Games, 2004)

In Evil Genius, you assume the role of a evil mastermind with plans of world domination. Being able to build your evil lair, hire henchmen, and run your dubious deeds around the world is alot of fun, for a while. After you get you get your base up and running, you will find that there is not much more to do. Also the game will become very frustrating as do-gooder secret agents try way to often to stop you, making you spend way too much time clicking on attack commands. This game is a great budget buy if you can find it for the 10-15 dollar range.
