Top 10 Video Game Villains
5) Wesker
Albert Wesker from Resident Evil is another one of the “cool cat” type villains but unlike Lloyd from Legend of Dragoon, Wesker is about as evil as they come. He plans to infect the entire human race to transform them into something “better” and more “evolved.” Wesker was originally a supporting character in the first game as the Captain of S.T.A.R.S. but had actually been manipulating things from behind the scenes all along. Wesker was responsible for the Raccoon City incident and breakout of the T-virus. This eventually resulted in the president having to sterilize the area by nuking the city. All those deaths are on Wesker's head. But that was just the beginning for Wesker…
He infected himself with the Progenitor virus and gained superhuman strength and speed. This even allowed him to dodge bullets while in human form. “Human form” is the key phrase here since Wesker also has the ability to transform into a hellish monstrosity like many of the bosses in Resident Evil. The final fight with Wesker is somewhat notorious for its length and difficulty. In fact, Play magazine named it as the third worst boss fight on PlayStation 3 because of how many times you have to fight Wesker before he is finally defeated.
Throughout the course of the series, Wesker graduated from a thorn in your side to the main antagonist. It seemed like he was behind almost everything that happened in the franchise up until his defeat.
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!
