* ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]: Sons of Liberty'' plays this completely straight by involving the [[Player Character]] in the "S3 Plan", or "Solid Snake Simulator." Raiden is being made unwittingly by the [[Ancient Society]] known as the Patriots to shoot and kill actual soldiers in the hopes that he will evolve into some sort of [[One-Man Army]]. (At least, if you believe the character who tells you this. Maybe you should not; he the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]], he can't seem to decide if Raiden was in the simulation or [[No Fourth Wall|the player]] was, and this is a game where [[Mind Screw|Mind Screws]] happen every five minutes.)

** Actually, that's barely even half of it: Turns out that, in addition to using Raiden to kill actual soldiers in the hopes of his evolving into the next Solid Snake, they also used him in an attempt to control humanity's willpower and manipulate memories into their own image, among other things.

* There's a joking nod to the trope in the [[Gears of War]] 2 multiplayer map "Day One" where one of the arcades machines in the level has the name "Murder Simulator."
