8 Video Game Protagonists Who Would Be Better Villains

8. Isaac Clarke - Dead Space

Let's be real here - if any one of us saw Dead Space's Isaac Clarke walking towards us, we'd surely run a bloody mile.

With his armoured engineering suit complete with a creepy face helmet, Isaac straight-up looks like a slasher movie villain, to say nothing of the fact that he rocks some seriously hefty weaponry like his trusty Plasma Cutter, while also harbouring a penchant for stomping living things into a bloody paste.

And then there's Isaac's well-noted psychological issues, from the trauma of losing his girlfriend Nicole to effectively developing space dementia from his contact with the Marker.

Despite being the ass-kicking hero of Dead Space and a character millions love playing as, Isaac ticks so many damn villain boxes, and considering what he's been through, who could even blame him?

Honestly, a survival horror game where a crazy masked guy in a spacesuit is trying to rip us limb from limb sounds pretty damn awesome. 

With the Dead Space franchise basically being on ice for the foreseeable future, why the hell not?
