I am here to bring to you my opinion on the top 10 villains of gaming history. Some of them you might not know, most of them you probably will. But these guys have all contributed something to making this list which is why these are the top ten video game villains.
It's...
NUMBER TEN!
Anybody whose ever played Nintendo knows Bowser. As Mario is the jewel of Nintendo, so Bowser is the nasty little oil stain that covers the jewel. He's lean, he's mean, and he's a fire-breathing turtle. But as the Mario games introduce new villains to the array, you have to wonder... will Bowser end up a hero just so he has a clear shot at taking over the Mushroom Kingdom once the other villains are gone?
NUMBER NINE!
Nobody knows who or what Tabuu is, but everyone hated him the minute he used the red rings of death on your characters. Tabuu is the main villain of the Subspace Emissary and, for whatever reason, he is attempting to take over the entire world. Maybe his intentions aren't evil though. Maybe he's just lonely. It's never explained why he's doing this. But then again, you could just talk things out, not send monsters, soooooo...
NUMBER EIGHT!
Metal Gear Solid has many villains, all of them great, but none of them had the same mind-raping qualities as Psycho Mantis. He first appears as a hallucination, but then later on when you get to the boss fight, he appears in the form of taking over Meryl so that you have to punch her in the face and knock her out. Then he reads your mind *coughmemorycardcough* and so begins the figh... HEY, MY PLAYSTATION TURNED OFF! He also makes you think you lost your signal. The way to beat him is to switch controller ports so that he can't read your mind anymore. We salute thee, oh master of mind rapists.
NUMBER SEVEN!
Eggman's gotten quite a bit better over the years and the game Sonic Unleashed shows what happens when he finally wins and takes over the world... just to be thwarted again. Though there seem to be plenty of villains better then him, there's also one thing that seperates Eggman from them... They never used cute little cuddly fluffy animals to power machinery. Dude... Eggman... That's just fuckin' evil!
NUMBER SIX!
So kill me, I have not played any other Devil May Cry other then three. Still, Vergil's pretty badass and power-hungry and he's willing to kill his own twin brother just to get that power he wants. Later he returns under Mundus' control as Nelo Angelo in Devil May Cry 1. It's a damn shame he dies there because I'd love to see more of Vergil in the series. He was quick-witted, cool, collected, and a bastard to be sure. Arkham, meanwhile, was a jester.
NUMBER FIVE!
No top ten video game villain's list is complete without Arthas, the main showcase of what happens when good intentions lead you down the dark side. When Arthas lets Frostmourne take his soul, he kills his own father, then gets turned into a Death Knight. He destroys the High Elves' source of magic, ressurects a demon lord into the world, and then goes on to become the Lich King himself. Now in the newest expansion to World of Warcraft, he is back and ready to own any noobs that dare to come into Icecrown. So, as Illidan put it... are you prepared?
NUMBER FOUR!
The King of Evil himself, Ganondorf, has made the list. Yes, he is here in all his regal glory. He is the same King of Evil that tries to take over Hyrule and he's the same one that gets killed by Link. So why is he so high on the list if he always gets killed by Link? Well... there are different Links and Zeldas, but Ganondorf is the same one through and through. He's high on the list due to his perserverence. He's not going to give up. Even though a little boy wearing a green cap is going to come in and kill him, he's going to keep trying until he finally takes over Hyrule. Good luck, oh dark one. You will need it.
NUMBER THREE!
Number three... is Sukoden II's Luca Blight. This guy is just plain evil. His mother gets raped in front of him and his father does nothing, so what does he do? HE GOES INSANE! Yes, he goes around, burning towns, killing people, and spreading the seeds of war between the Highland nation and the Jowstone nation. But how evil is he exactly? Let's put it this way... He burned a town full of children and murdered everyone there. He made a woman beg for her life and act like a pig, promising her she would live if she acted like a pig... and killed her anyway! It took a sneak attack in the dark, three six-hero member parties, a volley of archers, and a final duel between him and the hero to kill him! Luca Blight... nobody fucks with him. Riou only won due to the script. Not even Chuck Norris can fuck with Luca.
NUMBER TWO!
Well Luca may be badass, but he's not... the golden eyed revolver using AntiChrist. From a series that is usually full of controversey as far as religion goes, Takaya does not claim to be the AntiChrist, but he could be the False Prophet. Starting off as the leader of a group named Strega who assassinate people for profit during the Dark Hour, Takaya became a prophet for Nyx as the end of humanity, the Fall, drew near. Though Nyx did not came to save people, Takaya made her out to be a divine being that would save humanity and purge the world of the sinners. Takaya's more insane then Luca in a way, but he's still wise in a sense of being. The past is over and the future's yet to come, so why not live in the moment? And isn't death a blessing, to be free of life's pains and woee? This is a villain that makes you think. 0.0 Oh dear...
So now, before we move into our #1, let's do a quick recap.
Number Ten is Bowser from the Mario series.
Number Nine is Tabuu from Super Smash Brothers Brawl The Subspace Emissary
Number Eight is Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid
Number Seven is Eggman from the Sonic series
Number Six is Vergil from Devil May Cry 3
Number Five is Arthas from the Warcraft series
Number Four is Ganondorf from the Zelda series
Number Three is Luca Blight from Suikoden II
Number Two is Takaya from Persona 3
It's...
NUMBER ONE!
As far as Final Fantasy goes, we've had plenty of villains. We have a fanbase dedicated to Sephiroth and what he does as far as Final Fantasy VII goes. So tell me... where is the respect for Kefka?! He is more evil then Sephiroth anyday! He enslaved the game's main hero and set her to attack an innocent town in search of an Esper. He poisons a whole town's water supply. He kills a major general. Hell... HE BLOWS UP THE FREAKING WORLD AND BECOMES A GOD! Sephiroth hasn't done any of this, has he? Has he become the source of all magic? Does he smite those that doesn't worship him with his Light of Judgement? I think not. And Kefka does all this... while looking like a transvestite clown.
Now that's just evil. And that's why Kefka is the number one villain of video games.
It's...
