Over the years, we\u2019ve been treated to some top notch baddies, from megalomaniacs determined to rule the world to annoying little scamps who just want to ruin your day.<\/p>\n<p>But who is the best videogame baddie of all time? Here are some of our favourites!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Bowser (Super Mario)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sFVYamNtgKQ\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Mario\u2019s eternal nemesis is one of gaming\u2019s most persistent villains, despite his plan being roughly the same every time: kidnap Princess Peach and make Mario collect loads of stars and coins to save her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Dr. Robotnik\/Eggman (Sonic The Hedgehog)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TXe7AHRS2to\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With a PHD, an arsenal of evil robots and an army of brainwashed fluffy animals, Robotnik should be unstoppable. As it turns out, even a blue hedgehog can take him down with a few well-timed jumps. Still, you\u2019ve got to admire his endurance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)<\/h4>\n<p><i>Final Fantasy VII\u2019s <\/i>main villain makes Bowser and Robotnik look like the Chuckle Brothers. He has the powers of a God, he has a MASSIVE sword and he [SPOILERS!!!] doesn\u2019t think twice about killing your kind-of girlfriend in front of you. His hair\u2019s a bit silly though&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)<\/h4>\n<p>The unstoppable killing machine from <i>Silent Hill 2<\/i> is one of the weirdest villains we\u2019ve ever seen. Why does he have a pyramid for a head? How does he eat? Does his house have specially-adapted doors?<\/p>\n<p>All questions we\u2019d have asked if we weren\u2019t too busy running for our lives.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Albert Wesker (Resident Evil)<\/h4>\n<p>He has a name like a parking warden but he\u2019s at least twice as evil. After double-crossing you in the first game, Wesker terrorises you in numerous games before turning himself into a superpowered abomination in <i>Resident Evil 5<\/i>. He also wears sunglasses indoors, which tells you all you need to know really.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Gary (Pokemon)<\/h4>\n<p>Urgh, Gary. This annoying little idiot is your main rival in <i>Pokemon<\/i>, following you around and trying to beat you at every available opportunity. Fortunately, he\u2019s a big wimp &#8211; but that doesn\u2019t make him any less annoying!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>GlaDOS (Portal)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GRzRH4n27RY\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>GlaDOS is a seemingly helpful AI that offers you cake, companionship and a route out of the scary abandoned research facility you\u2019re trapped in.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, she lies about the cake, she kills your companion and she\u2019s the reason the place is abandoned. And now she wants to kill you too :\u2019(<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear Solid)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jencMtrlty8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Camp evil voice? Check. Psychic powers? Check. Odd choice of costume? Check.<\/p>\n<p>Psycho Mantis could even control Solid Snake, a problem you could resolve by switching your controller to port 2 (where he couldn\u2019t work his black magic).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Cristiano Ronaldo (FIFA)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5OurIjsB3_4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although we\u2019re sure the real Ronaldo is a terrific bloke, his FIFA equivalent is responsible for more smashed controllers than all of the <i>Mario Kart<\/i> games combined. He\u2019s faster than a gazelle, stronger than an ox and has a shot like a cannon; if he\u2019s on the other team, you might as well give up straight away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)<\/h4>\n<p>Link\u2019s arch-nemesis is a real piece of work, taking on numerous forms in order to bully our harmless elven hero. Fortunately, Link usually finds the Master Sword and teaches him a lesson he\u2019ll never forget&#8230;well, until the next game at least.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The Pigs (Angry Birds)<\/h4>\n<p>They imprison birds for no reason! They have no bodies! They construct kingdoms from wood alone!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Lance Vance (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City)<\/h4>\n<p>Tommy Vercetti\u2019s best pal in <i>Vice City<\/i> broke our hearts when he decided to betray our beloved Hawaiian-shirted hero at the end of the game. It did lead to a cool mansion shoot-out, though.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>The Invaders (Space Invaders)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/space-invaders.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3494\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/space-invaders.jpg\" alt=\"Space Invaders\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/space-invaders.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/space-invaders-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t be reasoned with and they have no mercy; no matter how much you throw at the Invaders, they won\u2019t stop until your empire of&#8230;erm, 4 houses has been completely obliterated.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Share your favourite baddie with us in the comments!
