Mwahahahahahaha -- oh hello. I was just practising my evil computer laugh. Today's Crave features a list of the Top Ten Evil Computers, complete with evil rating on the 'Mwhahaha!' scale.

Do you agree with our selection of pernicious processors? Have we missed out any maniac machines? And what is evil anyway? Let us know your thoughts!

What about the Matrix? That, like, totally enslaved humanity for the spurious purpose of using our 'body electricity'. That's pretty evil. I'd give it a Mwahahahaha!

The Matrix was just doing what it was supposed to do though, does thta make it evil?

What about TRON wasn't there an evil computer guy in that?

I was never allowed to watch 2001 when I was a kid because my dad thought the computer was too scary.

My dad.

How about Colossus from The Forbin Project?

"This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied dead. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die."

Nice guy, eh?

Saw this the other week Resident Evil there is an evil computer in that (kicking myself for not thinking of this before) I give it a Mhwawawawawawawwawawawawawawawawawawwawaawa because it unleashed flesh eating blood thirsty zombies and it has the perfect evil quote "You are all going to die down here"

Hmmm, how about 343 Guilty Spark from the Halo games, not really evil just confused, but still worth the mention because of his predecessor Durandal from the Marathon Trilogy. Now there was an evil computer. Evil quote: Here I made a rocket launcher for you. What? Of course its safe, don't you trust me? (You use it and it blows up) Oh, dear. It must be a mechanical problem; here I made a new one. No, it won't blow up I promise. (It fires backwards)

MuHAhahahahahahahah!*cough*

You can just turn your computer evil by getting a Nokia N95.

My N95 is loved, and begs to differ.
