Favorite video game villains?

I've always had a fascination for Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil series.

My only regret is that it doesn't have footage of RE5, but it's still cool.

Heh, has anyone else seemed to notice that the more evil he becomes, in the subsequent games, the more British he sounds?

Makarov is my favorite character in Call of Duty. Even though he is kind of a terrorist, I always thought he was a really epic guy. Just not a person to hang out with, because he doesnt seem like someone who would do anything "normal" for fun :p

Definately Nefarious from Ratchet and Clank:




The image describes the character so well!

My favorite villians are the Wario Bros. (Wario and Waluigi) from the Maio series and Ganondorf from the Zelda series because in The Wind Waker, before the boss fight with him, he explains his motives for trying to conquer Hyrule.

Not in any particular order:

Glados - Portal
Kefka - Final Fantasy 6
Ghirahim - Zelda: Skyward Sword
Ganondorf - Zelda: The Wind Waker
Majora - Zelda: Majora's Mask
Eggman - Sonic series
Kun Lan/Harman Smith? - Killer7
Andrei Ulmeyda - Killer7
Curtis Blackburn - Killer7
Shinobu - No More Heroes
Jeanne - No More Heroes
Henry - No More Heroes
Dr. Letz Shake - NMH2
Captain Vladimir - NMH2
Ryuji - NMH2
Alice - NMH2
Fleming - Shadows of the Damned
Killabilly - Lollipop Chainsaw
Ocelot - Metal Gear Solid series
Volgin - MGS3
The Boss - MGS3
The Sorrow - MGS3
The Fury - MGS3
The End - MGS3
Gray Fox - MGS
Psycho Mantis - MGS
Sniper Wolf - MGS
Fatman - MGS2
GW/Crazy Colonel - MGS2
John Henry Eden - Fallout 3
Caesar - Fallout: New Vegas
Andrew Ryan - Bioshock
Comstock - Bioshock Infinite
Yami - Okami
Gravemind - Halo series
Prophets of Truth, Regret, and Mercy(I think it was?) - Halo series

I like Edea from Final Fantasy VIII, she's hot!

From games of recent memory, I have to say Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2) and Wheatley (Portal 2). They're actually some of the most entertaining villains in any game I've ever played, with Handsome Jack being entertainingly carefree and ruthless and Wheatly just being silly.

My answer for "favorite of all time", though, has to go to 343 Guilty Spark, as my Halo fanaticism demands it.

I like videogames in which you can be the villain, like Infamous. Being evil is so much more fun

Frank Horrigan.

''Duty, (cough) honor... courage. ... Semper Fi''

Joker, because his new homicidal run in videogames is awesome.

I gotta throw in a vote for Handsome Jack; it wasn't just that he was evil, he was just such a hilariously flaming douche-bag about it that I was really looking forward to killing him by the end of the game. His temper tantrum at the end was pretty fun too. I definitely found the expansion to be a bit lacking without his presence, he really did make the main game more enjoyable.

Before Jack, I probably had more fun with the myriad ways I could come up with to whack Caesar in Fallout: New Vegas than I've had with a video game villain in a while, the fact that he was voiced by Rawls from The Wire, who I always loathed, just made it sweeter. I particularly enjoyed smuggling bricks of C4 into his tent, packing them under his throne, and then literally blasting him clean out of the game.

Koopa, Bowser and Boo in the Mario games.
The rival in Pokemon Black and white 2 (okay, not exactly a villain, but the rival character is usually sort of portrayed as one).
Mars (Team Galactic, Pokemon)

Kefka from FInal Fantasy VI

The Dragon from Dragon's Dogma. It was much more profound than such a character usually is.

Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2). Not only is his appearance and behavior (and his Great Knife) awesome, but his symbolism is really interesting.

Serial Killer X (Condemned: Criminal Origins). Serial killer who kills other serial killers using their M.O. Need I say more?

Lord Harkon (The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard). I've still yet to play the Dawnguard expansion, but from what I've read and heard, Harkon sounds awesome.

Terror Mask (Splatterhouse remake). Trollish remarks throughout make him one of my favorites.

Zed (Lollipop Chainsaw). Play the game or watch the boss fight with him. You'll see why.

Ephemera (Bloodrayne 2). She's hot and badass (neither as much as Rayne, though). Need I say more?
