Top 10 Video Game Villains
9) Bowser
This terrifying turtle is the undisputed King of the Koopas. He's also been crowned by the Guinness Book of World records as the ‘Greatest Video Game Villain of All Time' so his making this list was pretty much obligatory. He missed out on the top berth here so if I'm kidnapped anytime in the near future I think we'll know who to blame.
The Koopa King nearly always hides the Princess away while he creates elaborate and visually stunning death traps manned by an army of minions. When you eventually do fight Bowser, you realize that you may be a bit in over your head. The Koopa King towers over you, carries an enormous shell covered in razor sharp spikes and breathes jets of flame. There's a good chance you'll be crushed, burned to a crisp, or meet some other terrible end.
Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach upwards of a dozen times in various maniacal plots. His villainous persistence guarantees him a spot on any serious greatest video games villains list.
Love the list and yay for adding Lloyd. Not many people think of The Legend of Dragoon or its characters when creating video game lists.
How about the Nemesis!! Should be in the top three!
Cool list, i remember freaking out when i fought psycho mantis. very memorable
Yuri from Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
[color=red][/color] lolol
where is SHODAN?. It's the best villian of video games, that I can think of...
kane is my favriote villian of all the villians i know of because i have command & conquer 3 tibiueriem wars and o my gosh kane is the best
weres vaas from far cry
Yeah this is a pretty bad list. And having bowser at the bottom? Really?
No mention of Jon Irenicus from Baldur's gate 2?
Massively powerful, utterly contemptuous of anyone lesser than him, could wax philosophical on the nature of power and mortality. And lots of really great quotes:

Surprised there were no DBZ villains
Bad list is bad.
2 metal gear bosses btw. If your gonna make a rule not to include 2 bosses from a franchise you should stick to it.
Kane is not an villian, he's an fictional character.
I've never heard of lavos or kane or the first villian (i can't remember his name), but i agree for all the others, they're all pure evil. Except Bowser; he's just plain greedy, but yes, very persistant.
I would include GLADOS from portal. Her sharp wit and determination puts most male and human villians to shame.
I can really only agree with Sepiroth and Ganon. The others, while some maybe be pretty bad, that's all they are. Bad. Nothing that will leave a mark or be remembered extensively...
Here are few few candidates that could replace some on the list:
-Shao Khan
-M. Bison
-Sagat
-Andross
-Heihachi Mishima
-Brian Fury
-Magneto
-The Black Queen (Battletoads)
There are many more.
Psycho Mantis, command and conquer
Oh the Ps1 memories
Very good list!
