subtlety is the name of the game welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
video games secret agents wish me luck
for this list we’ll be looking at the
best-in-class secret agents who debuted
in video games who work either covertly
or undercover you know I actually
thought you were the janitor when I
arrived that would either be an insult
to an excellent deduction I’m guessing
the former as much as we all play the
crap out of Goldeneye Mr Bond will be
excluded because he originated in
literature as usual we’ll only be
choosing one character per franchise
enjoy oh it was obvious he’s the red spy
number 10
Sasha nine Psychonauts welcome to my
mind huh with the haircut and demeanor
of x-files as agent Mulder
Sasha nine is the best of all worlds a
highly-trained secret agent and the only
character on this list who can smoke a
cigarette without using his hands as a
high-ranking member of the Psychonauts a
group of telekinetic agents sasha helps
train children who show signs of
paranormal abilities at a government-run
summer camp your performance young cadet
was outstanding
I’d like you to refer to my lab for some
advanced training Sasha’s work is
cloaked in secrecy but his goal seems to
be teaching kids how to weaponize their
thoughts I control those feelings focus
them concentrate and release and the
world is a better place number nine

always a direct route

rookie agent Michael Thornton is

time to waste in typical RPG fashion
players are able to mold Thorton into
whatever kind of superspy they want that

resident evil stapled Leon s Kennedy on
more than one occasion compana ADA is
the kind of secret agent that embodies

demands sorry Leon hand it over
number seven Liliana Dragon Age
Inquisition my position here involves a
degree of she is our spy master an
undercover network of spies known as
Bart’s cover the land of Thetas and
Liliana is one of the greats
yes tactfully put but in her own words
being a bard is so much more than being
a spy and in a world dominated by

waiting number six agent 47 Hitman
series
spanning six videogames two novels and a
movie with another reboot on the way
Asian forty-seven maybe the most
recognizable secret agent to debut in a
game
the Hitman himself is a genetically
engineered assassin a calculated
improviser who can carry out his
missions with just about anything at his
disposal for agent 47 a contract is a
contract no moral qualms stand in his
way
making agent 47 one of the most ruthless
calm and calculated killers on our list
six all clear nothing but a skunk number
five heat Archer no one lives forever
series there’s a group of thugs heading
you away how many looks like six of them
can you handle it
of course I can I’ll meet you at the
hotel in an hour after losing both her
mother and father and turning through a

agent who can single-handedly wipe out
an army I’ll try to surpass your
expectations number four the spy team
fortress 2 did anyone happen to kill a
red spy on the way here no then we still
have a problem in spite of the chaos
brought on by the rest of the team
fortress 2 ensemble the spy is a calm
and collected secret agent if you manage
to kill them I assure you they were not
like me he specializes in imitating his
targets and uses the likenesses of
teammates to lure his prey into a false
sense of security it’s this simple pure
deception that makes him such a powerful
opponent and by being part of a uniquely
multiplayer experience players who take
control of the spy get to experience
that oh so sweet feeling of deceiving
another person firsthand
number three Sam Fisher Splinter Cell
series I already don’t like you
Sam embodies the grizzled veteran secret
agent like no other a master of every
futuristic gadget Under the Sun Sam is
unparalleled in covert operations
despite carrying out his objectives with
mechanical efficiency Sam’s daughter
grounds him and helps him to hold on to
his humanity that is until her life is
threatened and Sam has to snap some
necks voiced in most games by Michael
Ironside Sam Fisher may have debuted in
video games but has become a secret
agent icon that holds up the Tom Clancy
brand with aplomb heard you were coming
so he hired me to kill you before you
killed him you should refund his money
where do I find him
number two joanna dark perfect dark
series it can be destroyed with
explosives
doesn’t sound like a problem to me where
are these explosives perfect dark is
often called the spiritual successor to
Goldeneye double-oh-seven so it makes
sense that a new protagonist meant to
replace James Bond would have to be
something special
johanna dark is just that a culmination
of the most important traits a secret
agent should have
she’s adept with a wide array of arms a
master of stealth and his silver tongue
any other pearls of wisdom it’s no
surprise that Johanna codenamed Perfect
Dark can hold her own against military
forces and extraterrestrials Oh Mike
hands up and step away from the alien
don’t make me tell you again doctor and
turn that laser off before we get to our
number one pick let’s take a look at
some honorable mentions how do you like
working for nostra heard you made some
upgrades to the go-kart Bravo Hector
serpentine go go go the turkey is in the
dishwasher I’d really like to check out
those labs he’s some kind of spy or
something does it matter
really well it’s how you want to play
number one Solid Snake
Metal Gear series you knew was coming
the larger-than-life secret agent has
appeared in games for over two decades
and with good reason no one holds a
candle to the legendary Solid Snake to
fully appreciate snakes prowess you need
to look no further than the
extraordinary array of enemies he’s
faced and the brilliant ways he’s come
up with to defeat them cigarettes how
are those going to help you you never
