Top 10 Video Game Villains
Everybody remembers heroes like Master Chief, Gordon Freeman, or Link but the antagonists in video games can be just as important to the storyline and enjoyability of the game. Sometimes villains can even steal the show and be more memorable than the main characters themselves. Here are the top 10 best video game villains of all time:
10) Lloyd
Lloyd from Legend of Dragoon is one of the coolest RPG villains. Although he was the main bad guy for much of the game, you later come to learn he actually had good intentions despite doing some horrible things. He's one of the ‘ends justify the means' type of guys. He's not actually straight up evil like some of the other characters on this list.
Lloyd is extremely powerful. The very first time your party encounters him, he actually kills one of your party members forever (I won't spoil who it is in case you've never played the game). This motivates your party to literally track him down across the entire world, though Lloyd always seems one step ahead. One time you catch up to him at a tournament Lloyd entered called the Hero's Competition only to face him in the finals. You can probably guess how that match turns out…
Lloyd probably isn't a villain that would make most people's lists but his silver hair and cool demeanor make him one of the more memorable antagonists for me.
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!
