In pictures: the most badass villains in video games

GamePro: "Let's face it: Being good is kind of mind-numbingly dull. One-dimensional protagonists with less charisma than a wooden spoon don't help matters either. This is why there is always the temptation to stray from the beaten path, give Yoda the one-finger salute and dance off with the Sith Lord. Deep down, we all want to be a baddie at heart. It's a one-way trip to Coolville -- and who doesn't want to be cool?

These are the guys that completely stole the show, and owned the games they appeared in. They're the enemies we wish we were controlling; even as our hapless hero endeavored to defeat them..."

The one-armed Mexican general from Red Dead Revolver should be on there too.

MmaFanQc5160d ago (Edited 5160d ago )

Kratos will obviously be THE most badass villain in video game.

spankipants5160d ago

Kratos, is, unfortunately, a hero...

Panthers5160d ago

They sort of mention him in a way. He is a Anti-Hero. He is not a villain, although I find that hard to believe.

massvmunkee5160d ago

kratos is THE definition of badass and epic! nuff said.

rezzah5160d ago

Dante is the definition of badass, however it is questionable weither Virgil (Dantes twin brother) is of equal or greater badassness than Dante. lol.

Kratos does deserve the "Epic".

MmaFanQc5160d ago (Edited 5160d ago )

are you really sure?

:D

finish gow3 then post again....

Darkstorn5160d ago

Diablo from the Diablo games...

acidspew5160d ago

Lol! I know, he's pretty evil. Remember how Kratos smashed the heads of the Prophets in GoW2 to get to the Three Fates? It was brutal! XD

ThanatosDMC5160d ago (Edited 5160d ago )

I fully agree. He's not a villain though. Vergil was umm... in between since he doesnt mind killing demons or humans.

But the best villain is that a-hole from Uncharted 2. I dont recall his name though, but damn... that guy was always on your ass the whole time.

"Whose jaws didn’t drop in awe as Shepherd, who was probably pushing 60, took down two hardened army soldiers almost half his age? Go grandpa, go!"

Ha ha, yeah I couldn't believe it when Shepard took down Soap and Price. They must have been from the New Zealand army.

spankipants5160d ago

GLaDoS for the win! She single-handedly made Portal my favourite game =)

CoderDunn5160d ago (Edited 5160d ago )

lol yup. Including GlaDOS automatically makes this list a win.

I also like how Kerrigan is included. When I was younger and first played the SC campaign, that was a serious WTF moment!

acidspew5160d ago

Some would argue SHODAN is better but screw em. GLaDoS > SHODAN.

csimpson5160d ago

GLaDoS only had to hang around for an hour or so - SHODAN stuck in for the long haul to make your life a literal living hell!

jimboh2k5160d ago

Kim Jong Il is the most badass villian ever! Oh wait, is he not in video games?

Panthers5160d ago

And while he may be evil, I wouldnt call him bad ass. He looks more like a sissy to me. Hell the man keeps agents in Europe to keep up with the latest fashion trends.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
