Top ten greatest villains of all time
Over the next few weeks I’ll be running this article series I’ve been thumping around for a little bit on the ten best villains in all of video games. "Best" is such a nebulous term, though; what does it mean? It means villains that really stand out from the crowd for one reason or another. Maybe they have really excellent character, or maybe the fight is completely badass, or maybe they’re really funny. Can be any number of things.
I’ll call out villains either by series or by specific game, depending on whether it’s one particular appearance that’s noteworthy or if the villain’s entire body of work is top-class. Periodically throughout the list I’ll intersperse fun villain-related tidbits, edging slowly up to the big reveal at number one. Will it be awesome? I’m told it will by people who know these things e.g. not you i.e. me.
