Dys/Utopia in Gaming

I need to compile a list of games (pc, ps2, xbox, etc.) that take place in or create a vision of the future.

So far my list isn't very long:

- Doom (1, 2 and 3)
- Half-life (1 and 2)
- Deus Ex

I can't really say which of the games I'm seeing on google are good games either.

Ideally the games should be able to be found/purchased/played without any copywrite issues.

I was shocked that my professor left games off the list of examples of where we see artists and scholars visioning the future. Apparently he's not much 'into technology'. He hadn't even considered it. I'm hoping to prepare a list and include a description of whether utopia or dystopia is foreshadowed in the game. I figure it's a great way to engage the students next fall. I can just imagine a session where we sit around playing games. :) What a way to earn a degree.
