"What would happen if your phone could hack any system? You could have any car, tons of cash and cause utter chaos anywhere you went.\nThat's exactly what Ubisoft, the makers of the video game Watch Dogs, want you to do. In their prank trailer, a shopkeeper takes unsuspecting customers on a thrilling adventure through the street with their newly refurbished smartphones to try out a mystery app. With the press of a button, the shopkeeper turns out lights, opens luxury cars, and knocks over ATMs.\nSee also: The Prank That Puts Your Fake Pregnancy Scare to Shame\nYou would think somewhere along the way the customers might feel the tug of their conscience with each of the shopkeepers demonstration, but everyone seems pretty comfortable with general vandalism, theft and even causing car accidents \u2014 as long as they don't get caught.\nIt's very likely that everyone was in on the prank from the beginning \u2014 because after all, it's all just a game. Watch Dogs launches on Tuesday, May 27.\nBONUS: 9 Video Games You Can Beat in Under 10 Hours \n\n\n9 Pint-Sized Video Games\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons\n\n\n1. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons\n\nBrothers: A Tale of Two Sons was a favorite game for many in 2013 thanks to its touching story about family.

No detail was overlooked in Brothers, so take the time to really explore all the little touches of people and places that the creators incorporated into this lovely game. \n\n\nImage:  Starbreeze Studios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Gone Home\n\n\n2. Gone Home\n\nAnother entry on many \u2018Best of 2013\u2019 lists, Gone Home is a tricky game to define. In it, you explore an empty house. That\u2019s the simplest summary, but the experience of putting together the story of your family and where they went is much more complicated. It\u2019s an experience that offers a glimpse of how much range video game storytelling can have. \n\n\nImage: The Fullbright Company\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Journey\n\n\n3. Journey\n\nVideo games, even short ones, have the potential to be transformative emotional experiences. In just a few hours, Journey weaves a tale with impressive levels of nuance, especially considering no are words spoken. Thanks to a wonderful blend of music and art, Journey is a game you might play once, but will surely think about often.\n\n\nImage: thatgamecompany\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Portal\n\n\n4. Portal\n\nValve\u2019s wonderful physics game was an early entry in this realm of short games that packed serious fun into a few hours. Portal is a masterpiece in design and pacing, plus the running commentary from GLaDOS will have you giggling all the way. \n\n\nImage: Valve\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare\n\n\n5. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare\n\nFew shooters get accolades for their single-player campaigns, but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was a top-notch example of what the genre could be. This early installment in the franchise presented a smart story, excellent missions and a shocker of an ending. It introduced ideas that are now par for the course in CoD, but it still holds up as one of the better experiences in first-person shooters. \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, Gamehelper\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Heavenly Sword\n\n\n6. Heavenly Sword\n\nUpon its release, Heavenly Sword was largely disregarded by reviewers for the very reason it\u2019s on this list. As more and more gamers express interest in shorter experiences, this title is definitely worth a revisit. It owes a heavy debt to God of War in terms of gameplay, but it has a unique look that holds up despite its age. Plus the voice-acting and character animation are top notch. \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, PlayscopeTrailers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Costume Quest\n\n\n7. Costume Quest\n\nDouble Fine Productions has had a long history of putting out funny, charming games, and one of its earliest projects was the Halloween adventure Costume Quest. As an intrepid young trick-or-treater, you\u2019ll battle against candy-loving monsters in order to rescue your kidnapped sibling and save the holiday. Different costumes, from a robot to a unicorn, give you and your companions different powers in combat.\n\n\nImage: Costume Quest\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Braid\n\n\n8. Braid\n\nBraid is already vying for classic status, and is worth a play-through no matter how many hours you want to spend gaming. You\u2019ll experience not just a smart puzzle game, but also a meditation on the passage of time and learning from past mistakes.\n\n\nImage: Number None\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Limbo\n\n\n9. Limbo\n\nThe exact play time for this title might depend on how quickly you can get inside the designers\u2019 twisted heads. Limbo is a 2D platformer that will take you through increasingly complicated puzzles. You\u2019ll probably die many times trying to figure out the world and its rules, but that feels like a fitting part of the process for this macabre game.\n\n\nImage: Playdead\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
