Games that make you feel like a total badass

The KOTOR games, especially 2. Nothing like creating a movie-like fight scene where you slash the guy on the right, force choke the guy running in behind him, then raise your hand and blow everybody around you back into a wall, and commence hacking them all to bits while they try to regain their senses. They start to get the better of you? Lift your hand and steal health from all of them, then blow them back again and electrocute them to death.
The Splinter Cell games. Michael Ironside's voice acting alone lends a lot of badass, let alone cutting throats, snapping spines and choking people into unconsciousness mid-sentence.

Assassin's Creed. The swordfights are so awesome.
I'd say Prototype by default, but since I haven't actually played it, that wouldn't be right.
Also, now that I think of it, the indie game Lugaru. Most people haven't heard of it. Look it up. It'll be worth your time.

A list in no particular order:
InFamous (play this listening to Thunderstruck)
Prototype (mass murder is awesome)
Batman Arkham Asylum
Dynasty Warriors
God of War
Painkiller (watch the Zero Punctuation review for this; a gun that shoots shuriken and lightning!)
Mercenaries 1 and 2
Red Faction: Guerrilla (me and my Mjolnir hammer will f*ck this place up!)
Shadow of the Colossus (take that, 120 feet tall rock monster!)
Gears of War
Demon's Souls
The last one is kind of an iffy. It's got a lot of downs (namely, the fact that you're quite easy to kill), but the moments when you take down one of the badass bosses is incredible.

any rts game when on my map i see a few red green and yellow dots around enemy bases and then a huge block of blue (me) marching to them
First off, allow me to say Hell yeah! I love the Condemned games (still need to beat 2, though)LockHeart said:
The game that makes me feel badass is The Godfather.
I go from strangling a mobster to death to getting into a shooting match with the cops to beating a shop owner until he gives me my protection money... hell yeah.
The Punisher (2005), video game for the PS2...Nothing more satisfying then goring a thug on a rhino's horn...or pushing one into an electric eel tank...or electrocuting one on the chair in Rykers Island...all after interrogation. Even then, there are the quick kills, the special kills, and need I mention the rage mode where Frank whips out dual knives and the kills become MORE brutal?
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within also made me feel badass, simply for the fact that I was killing sand monsters while Godsmack blares in the background.
Of course, God of War I & II also make the list...Ah, the sweet sounds of enemies dying as Kratos yells out "ARESSSSSS!!!" or "ZEEUSSS!!!"
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction...You'd think the U.S. military would've learned by now to STOP SENDING STUFF THE HULK CAN USE AGAINST THEM at him...But, whatever, back to the missle snatching and flinging...
The Matrix: Path of Neo...I am The One, you stupid cops/SWAT/Agents, your bullets mean NOTHING to the guy who can stop them and fling them back!
Jaws: Unleashed...Despite the flaws, it's tons of fun to sink a fishing boat and chomp down the hapless human on it...
Gears of War, I & II...Caught myself counting along with Marcus as I sniped down a patrol group in II...
People already said some of these, but...
[PROTOTYPE] - Ah, the gore...the destruction...The intrigue.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Pitiful Stormtroopers, your blasters are NOTHING compared to the power of the Force.
Xmen Origins: Wolverine - Two words: Snikt, bub...
The Darkness - Hey, Paulie! This is for Jenny! [/Hordes of Darklings swarm Paulie's hideout]
Spartan: Total Warrior - You're a Spartan, with powers, and an army at your side...'Nuff said.
Stubbs the Zombie in: Rebel Without A Pulse - You're a zombie, can turn people into zombies, in a parody of the 1950's and futuristic America...You can bowl by taking your own head off, possess people with your hand...and that's the tip of the iceberg.
Reign Of Fire - Playing as the dragons is just too much fun to rag on...
Star Wars: Episode 3, Revenge of the Sith on the PS2 - There's just something badass, and totally satisfying in a sadistic way, about Anakin Skywalker's evil laugh as you cut through Jedi...

the main protagonist in The Darkness (the name escapes me at the moment)
you can't Not look cool impaling a mobster with a big black tentacle then launching him 20 feet into the air...then eating its heart

Why have I not played this game? Srsly...Klepa said:
OT - I'd have to go with Assassin's Creed. Nothing beats sprinting up behind an unsuspecting soldier and leaping at him, your hidden blade aimed straight at his neck. And then nailing the other soldier that you just alerted with a throwing knife.
Assassin's Creed, Arkham Asylum, the GoWs, COD4, Prototype and the MGSs are the games that do it for me.
But the winner is Spartan: Total Warrior.
Such a great game.
