Sometimes we are just more fascinated by the villain than the hero. Sometimes because of their charm, their awesome design, or because they are just evil.

25 Great Movies That Are Hard To Recommend
15. Alien Isolation: Alien
Maybe it ‘s not fair, but outshining the Alien is nearly impossible. Being the daughter from our beloved hero Ellen Ripley doesn’t help. Maybe Ellen would have a chance to outshine the alien, but the daughter? No way!| © Creative Assembly
14. Pokémon Diamant & Perl: Cynthia
Even though she was always nice to us, as a top champion, she was probably THE hardest fight in Pokémon history, and her Garchomp even made us hate her a little. | © GameFreaks
13. Punch Out!: Mike Tyson
The one and only Mike Tyson is the only boss we ever wanted to see in a boxing game, and we've got him. Fighting him might even be as hard as in real life (but it won't hurt as much). | © Nintendo
12. Diablo series: Diablo
You choose your own character and make them unique. But one thing never changes. Everyone is fighting the greatest evil, Diablo. And his name is also the name of the game – 'nuff said. | © Blizzard
11.System Shock 2: S.H.O.D.A.N
Every day we get a new AI, but none of them burns into our brains like S.H.O.D.A.N. The great design and awesome voice performance make her a one-in-a-million AI. | © Irrational Games
10. Castlevania: Dracula
The spin that the Castlevania franchise put on Dracula is still unique, and the Castlevania series on Netflix has shown us once again. With cool, quite dark lines like "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets," he got right into our minds and hearts. | © Netflix
9. Starcraft: Kerrigan
From the sweet, funny sniper Jim Raynor fell in love with to the queen of the Zergs. The story is tragic, but that is the key to why this villain is so special. | © Blizzard
8. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: Captain Shepherd
Probably one of the biggest betrayal in the story of video games – that one really hurt, so hunting him down really was our only choice. | © Activison
7. Warcraft: Arthas Menethil
Like the queen of the Zergs, Arthas was a good guy, but sadly, he became the Lich King and one of the greatest villains in the World of Warcraft. To this day, many fans debate the question: Did he ever get another chance to help his people? | © Blizzard
6. Bioshock: Andrew Ryan
The voice that follows us through our journey in Rapture belongs to the famous businessman and genius behind Rapture: Andrew Ryan. And like a good businessman, he knows how to present himself. At the end of the day, we still feel humbled by his presence. | © Irrational Games
5. Final Fantasy 6: Kefka Palazzo
The most evil clown next to the Joker, with fewer jokes. He's merciless and at least in Doma, when he poisons the water to kill the entire population, we know that we are dealing with one of the worst villains around. | © Square Enix
4. Borderlands 2: Handsome Jack
There is no other villain who is such a jerk and funny at the same time. Yet he treats his workers like they are disposable, betrays everyone and everything, and even enslaves his own daughter. | © Gearbox Software
3. Mortal Kombat series: Shao Kahn
The Konqueror is the former Emperor of Outworld who only wants power and has no feelings for anyone. He kills anyone who gets in his way and even cloned his own daughter just to have an improved version of her. | © Netherrealm
2. Portal 2: GLaDOS
Even though she doesn't fight us, she puts so many puzzles in front of us and sees us like and experiment, so yes, she is our villain. Even though she makes us laugh way too hard. | © Valve
1. Far Cry 3: Vaas
Even though he is not the main villain, no villain has had such a presence in video games. Sometimes we would even get excited when he would come into a cutscene, even if it meant no good for us. | © Ubisoft
Sometimes we are just more fascinated by the villain than the hero. Sometimes because of their charm, their awesome design, or because they are just evil.
