Hey.... is Id from Xenogears on the list?

And how about Id from Xenogears
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_of_Xenogears

Id is Fei's split personality, created when Fei tried to repress his childhood memories about being abused by scientists acting as his mother.[6] Throughout the game, Id appears when Fei is off screen. Fei is also unaware of Id until it is explained to him late in the game. Id represents Fei's id, adding a Freudian aspect to his character.[6] Id is an often brutal and malicious character, violently seeking to destroy the planet by making contact with the Zohar.

And yes, Sarevok is another amazing choice.

Why doesn't someone just paste the list...

I agree that this list seems awfully weak. Carmen San Diego? Pacman Ghosts? Darth Vader as a video game villain?

The only two I would vote for are LeChuck and GLADoS. The rest are mostly just villains from good games, not necessarily good villains. In many cases (Darth Malak?) they are barely fleshed out at all, Revan would have been a much better choice if they wanted a Bioware villain (or HK-47).

Malak was much more of a villain than Revan. Revan attacked primarily military targets and strove to win a way, Malak attacked civilian ones. Revan also switched to the good side and stopped Malak then went on to find the true Sith. Not very villainy. HK-47 wasn't a villain at all in either KOTOR.

I can't look at the list but M.Bison should be on there. I have already stated Sephiroth will win, simply because everyone hasn't played FF7 since they were 12. That game was not as good as it gets hyped to be. This love and devotion for such a game is laughable.

Carmen San Diego was such a good video game villain she got her own TV show complete with an a cappella group.

I don't recall GLADoS having any a cappella going on.

Besides who else is going to steal landmarks in broad daylight by stuffing them in to a carpet bag?
