sometimes it’s hard to know friend from
foe welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be counting down our picks for the
top 10 video game betrayals don’t be
worried about me here for this list we
ranked the most painful acts of
treachery based on how much we trusted
the character until he or she stabbed us
in the back as usual one moment per
franchise this should be a no-brainer
but we cannot emphasize this enough
spoiler alert
not plug that idiot into my mainframe
number 10
Dana lag when dead space 2 oh we don’t
want to kill you Isaac we need that
precious that light of yours just the
way it is you wake up in the beginning
of this game with no memory of the past
3 years
thankfully Dana is there to help you out
or so you think
Dana I’m not awesome ok she claims to
have a cure for your dementia and she
leads you through the sprawl the space
station where the action takes place
unfortunately it turns out she’s a
religious nutjob who only wants to
spread convergence and turn you into an
undead Necromorph pretty much insane
called plan 101 to spread glorious
convergence to the entire galaxy number
9 Joshua the world ends with you having
to fight with Reapers in the fictional
version of Tokyo in which this game
takes place is a scary prospect but on
the plus side you’ve got this smart
teenaged boy to help you out at first at
least because he sacrifices himself to
save you from an explosion created by
one of the Reapers he later reveals that
he made the rules to the game where you
fight them and he subsequently shoots
you in the face
number eight Edgar Ross Red Dead
Redemption do I know you
we knew that life was rough in the West
but we didn’t realize that it was this
bad oh my god they killed it when you
help the government agent and turn your
back on the former gang leader Dutch you
assume that they’ll let you go back to
your family
Ross lets you go home but he later
attacks your ranch with the US military
an action that is illegal by the way
leading to John that’s you going down in
a blaze of glory
number seven Bastilla Star Wars Knights
of the Old Republic our fates are linked
and for two as strong as we are in the
force that amounts to a mere physical
bond this Jedi princess seems like a
damsel in distress when she gets
kidnapped by Darth Malak but once you go
to save her you find out that you’ve got
things mixed up it turns out that she’s
an apprentice to the Sith Lord and she
rewards your attempt to save her by
challenging you to a one-on-one fight to
the death
you can’t defeat me here on the star
Forge you can’t number-6 Arcturus Mengsk
Starcraft townsman signal the fleet and
take us out of orbit life is pretty bad
under the Confederacy the powerful
faction that rules at the beginning of
this game so you’re happy to help
Arcturus and the sons of Korhal lead
this rebellion but you can’t build a
Terran Dominion without breaking a few
eggs I’m going down there Park Taurus
knows what he’s doing
in this case the egg in question is
Sarah Kerrigan who’s left to the mercy
of the Zerg Swarm
and abandoned by minx fleet ah boys how
about that evac but hey he had big plans
for taking over the galaxy himself
come on up there
number five albert wesker resident evil
captain Wesker seems like a good
commander at first Chris you’re alive
whether you play as Chris or Jill you’re
happy to have him as the Alpha Team
Leader to help you get away from the
ferocious dogs and zombies but he only
helps you until he reveals that he’s a
double agent working for the Umbrella
Corporation and he lured you to the
Spencer mansion
to use you as a test subject and you
thought your boss was a douche raka
don’t move you I don’t think you want to
die just yet I have something of some
interest to you
number four general Shepard call of duty
modern warfare to tomorrow there will be
no shortage of volunteers no shortage of
Patriots Call of Duty fans probably saw
this one coming as the installment was
filled with shocking plot twists Shepard
seems like a good leader but when
victory seemed sure he turns around and
shoots you in the face pretty much
because he watched the rock and thought
Edie Harris’s character had a good point
his betrayal is short-lived but it has a
lasting impact since the rest of the
world saw Shepard as a hero
number three lance vance grand theft
auto vice city sorry Tommy
this is vice city this is business no
matter how much you help someone you can
never be sure they’ll really repay you
in this series the family looks after
its own okay all the way from Big Smoke
in San Andreas to Demetri in gta4 with
Lance you save his life and avenge the
death of his brother but even that is
not enough to keep him on your side he
gets tired of you not treating him like
an equal and rats you out to your former
boss in order to get you rubbed out you
sold us out no I sold you out Tommy I
saw you out the real cash she’s upstairs
in the safe number two Wheatley portal 2
Oh us me they’re talking about at first
this AI Corps seems like a lovable moron
later on we know that he’s still an
idiot but not a nice one rather he’s a
power crazed lunatic who’s been
programmed with a serious inferiority
complex the second he gets to sit in
glados’s control chair there’s no going
back what this really hurts I didn’t
think of that oh it will leave me it
will even worse you just put him in
charge of the whole facility that you’re
trapped in
I do have to leave right before we get
to our number one let’s take a look at
some honorable mentions
number one Atlas Bioshock would you
kindly put this betrayal at the top of
our list
familiar phrase we didn’t need a
criminal mastermind controlling us to
make us name this the best act of
duplicity in gaming Atlas helps you
overcome the enemy splicers and Big
Daddies in the underwater city of
Rapture but when you finally help him
put an end to Andrew Ryan he reveals
himself to be the evil Frank Fontaine
who’s been controlling you all along
with this simple phrase
jakoli would you kind to get this
I’d be head to Ryan’s office and kill
the son of a bitch do you agree with our
list which video game betrayal made you
cringe I made a deal with the devil
Jimmy for more treacherous top 10s
