Fallout 3 is one. Battle for middle earth series. Play as Sauron's forces. The Knight Of The Old Republic series and Jade Empire as well. Civilization series too.

Grrrrr.....you call yourselves bastards!? You mentioned Evil Genius, you mentioned Overlord! So quickly have ye forgotten the father, the deep darkness...DUNGEON KEEPER! It's good to be bad. So very. Very. Goooooooood.

May all of you be shanked up your nethers by a Horned Reaper and your corpses watered on by the Hellhounds!

Incidentally here's a review of sorts I did of it: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.62873#535629

Then again...it's an RTS humph. Still, it's got a first person mode! Which...is not all that hot to be honest.

As for FPS'es, there really aren't much of what you're looking for, at best I suppose all you're really going to get is either RPG/FPSes where you can generally choose your path, however, unless it's very open like Oblivion for example there won't be much room for evil, as even when your character is a total dick, they're still the hero.

Deus Ex is possible a close approximation of what you want, you can make morally bankrupt choices in that game and they do stick.

Destroy all Humans.

It's a third person shooter from memory but you play as part of an alien invasion taking over Earth.

Meh, I use my imagination for that kind of thing. I just kill everyone in a city in Assassins Creed.

The thing is that most of the time we get a taste of being evil in a game that's all it is, a taste (eg: Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect). You can do evil actions, murder innocents and be an outright ************ but you will still end up destroying a greater evil than you and thus acting towards the greater good (so you become an anti-hero rather than a villain).
Not necessarily. In Fable TLC, you could choose to wear Jack's mask at the end and thus become the antagonist that you've been fighting the entire time.
Not nessercarily, you merely resemble the antagonist with the aforementioned mask. The only time you character can choose a morality in a game you often find that the antagonist has to be generically evil (Saturday morning cartoon villain evil) and the extent of evil you can attain has to be 'malicious bastard' evil rather than 'epitome of evil' evil (otherwise it's hard to justify why your character is the protaganist when they could very easily be the antagonist at te same time, we need a certain level of contrast between our heroes and villains, namely in their goals or motivations).

Actually, the mask possesses those that wear it, as can be found in the books found throughout the game. Also, if you read the Hero's log, after wearing the mask, you find a entry reading (roughly, I didn't memorize it): "How pathetic of this hero to keep a journal. Now that he's out of the way, Albion shall burn."
