You haven't played Phoenix Wright yet?! Play that, definitely! Front Mission 4 is great, and you should play it sometime, but I'd have to go with Phoenix Wright in this case ^_^

I will admit, I did pause for a moment when I found out about the incinerator. I imagine anyone who really loved their cubes cackled with sweet revenge while incinerating GLaDOS' eyeballs in the final battle ;)

Upon reflection, the cube and the incinerator at the end were just two more devices designed to drive the test subjects nuts. Of course GLaDOS wanted her guinea pigs to become attached to the things; all the better for her!
