they’re not all bad
they’re just pixelated that way welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video games where you play as the bad
guy just looking for this list we’re
looking at games where being bad never
felt so good video games to feature
protagonists who don’t know they’re the
bad guy until near the end are featured
in our list of the top 10 video games
where you’re unknowingly the villain if
you only helped out Trish might still be
alive
we’ll also only be looking at games
where you don’t get to decide between
being good or evil nor are we looking at
series where there are more playable
good guys than bad guys
number ten warioland Super Mario Land 3
you gotta respect a villain who rocks a
pointed mustache serving is the exact
opposite of Mario Wario first appeared
as the main antagonist of Super Mario
Land 2 6 golden coins after that he got
to star in his own adventure with Wario
Land unlike that bowser chump he wasn’t
out to capture some princess he was just
out to surpass mario by getting a castle
that was bigger than his this sent him
on an adventure where he’d steal coins
by shoulder checking enemies in order to
pay a genie who could if paid enough
give him his own castle or a planet ha
take that Mario
number 9 postal I’m already dead postal
2 has an inkling of a plot where he
tries to complete mundane tasks and you
can actually choose to not kill anyone
the first game however is a different
story since you can only advance to the
next level after killing a certain
number of people needless to say people
criticize this game particularly the
United States Postal Service who sued
the developer for using the term postal
in a game whose primary objective was to
kill everyone
number eight hitman series I know every
time he thinks he’s out they pull him
back in though it really doesn’t take
that much persuasion to get a gun into
agent forty-sevens hands this we suppose
that’s what happens when you’re created
from the genetic material of a triad
leader a drug lord a terrorist and a
weapons smuggler
agent 47 is the perfect killing machine
a role he’s destined to fulfill even if
he’s trying to live a life of peace
like any good hitman he doesn’t ask a
lot of questions and he’ll do anything
it takes to complete a mission even take
out targets and anyone in the area at
his own funeral number seven manhunt
series
you can’t spell morally questionable
characters and video game controversy
without Rockstar Games I don’t hurt
anybody if he sees you he will kill you
understand waste him that being said
let’s talk about manhunt a series that
centers around escaped prison inmates
and the people they brutally murder and
the flasher they kill the better the
score you get you could argue that the
first game’s protagonist was simply
following orders so he could escape
prison and be with his family again but
he certainly had no qualms about
suffocating people with a plastic bag
the debauchery continues in the game
sequel and offers players more
cringe-worthy ways to kill everyone who
crosses your path
number six Destroy All Humans series
crypto here how’s the view from the
safety of the mothership very funny
don’t you just love when a videogame
tells you the objective of that game we
suppose technically it’s a bit
misleading since crypto isn’t destroying
he’s harvesting anal Trobe I’m gonna
beat you back to base city and unlike
some aliens who attack our planet crypto
has legitimate reasons for wanting our
extinction
he needs to harvest our brain stems in
order to prevent his species from going
extinct see he’s trying to save his
species noble right it’s a big job
especially for one who’s cool poorly
challenged like myself alright it still
sounds bad but it could be a lot worse
crypto could be running our American
government or could be starting a fast
food restaurant and serving humans as
meat oh wait Big Willy is feeding us to
ourselves a shipment arriving at the
harbour city contains the true kitchen
down sound chicken number 5 Dungeon
Keeper wanted to know before we all
suffered from the evils of the mobile
game in 2013 the Dungeon Keeper
franchise was an enjoyable evil romp
sporting the catchphrase evil is good
the games let you take on the role of a
Dungeon Keeper in charge of your very
own dungeon minion so winning a battle
over this realm before you can enjoy
your devilish new home you have to deal
with the pesky do-gooders who feel the
need to invade it and other Dungeon
keepers who are out to steal your
treasure no coupling force is large
enough to challenge load and tell me as
for his portal yeah sadly we never got
that third installment which promised to
let us go to the surface and try to take
over the world good progress keeper see
your goblins are well rested in their
land that Bell is full with juicy
chicken flesh number 4
Grand Theft Auto 5 it’s good to see a
man hmm
yeah better it is in a franchise where
Grand Theft Auto is the least of the
offenses we’re always playing as
characters who do terrible deeds
however GTA 5 has three protagonists
Michael Townley who tries and fails to
live in peace
Franklin Clinton a gangbanger who
becomes friends with Michael Mann you
can’t be for real and Trevor Phillips
who let’s be honest steals the show hell
are you doing ah nothing are you taking
a dog why do you care huh
to his credit Trevor is fiercely loyal
to those he cares about
but he’s so unstable that being on his
good side can be just as nerve-racking
as being on his bad side no wonder his
old heist buddy faked his own death who
is that
number 3 Star Wars TIE fighter it’s
always great to play for the victorious
side unless that sign is made up of the
biggest villains in the galaxy failure
is not an option uh who are we kidding
who hasn’t been curious about the dark
side especially between the Empire
Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi am i
right no you shall pay for your
treachery in this game you play as an
unnamed Imperial Starfighter though
technically the Prima strategy guide
revealed the characters badass named
Marik Stella
join us to rebuild all that was
destroyed in this savage conflict as
Stella you face off against the likes of
the Rebel Alliance and even treacherous
Imperial forces we don’t want to spoil
the ending but let’s just say if you win
the day Emperor Palpatine will be
pleased even now our capable forces led
by Darth Vader are striking back at the
rebel insurgents number 2 Starcraft 2
heart of the swarm the Protoss are
defenseless attack now you know how we
said being bad never felt so good meet
the Queen of Blades herself Sarah
Kerrigan the Queen oh please
I knew you’d return to your true form if
you know your Starcraft lore you know
that Sarah Kerrigan was assimilated into
the Zerg Swarm in Starcraft one and then
saved from it by Jim Raynor at the end
of Starcraft 2 wings of Liberty happy
ending not so much because when she’s
convinced that Jim’s been killed in
heart of the swarm she falls off the
wagon real hard and goes full Zerg all
over again this time for double revenge
sure her crusade against Arcturus Mengsk
is technically noble but you can’t have
a good crusade without killing a few
thousand innocents across the galaxy am
i right it would be bad of us to ignore
them so let’s check out these honourable
mentions
cause of death appears to be
catastrophic organ failure
number one God of War series
we’re not saying that Kratos his fury
isn’t justified sort of honestly after
Ares is defeat he could have just
stopped in fact he should have stopped
Athena tried to warn him but his
stubbornness led to zu stepping in and
well now he’s sort of number one on our
list what can we say the wrath of
Olympus grows soon I will no longer be
able to protect you Kratos may have a
reason behind his anger he got tricked
by Ares into killing his own family but
he’s so blinded by rage that it’s easy
to forget he’s in her turmoil especially
since he has a tendency to kill
absolutely everything and not just the
ones who wronged him
he’s definitely earned that God of War
title no man
no God could ever forget the terrible
deeds you have done do you agree with
