Like with Pamela Voorhees, John Kramer is one of the horror world's most iconic bad guys. Known as the 'Jigsaw Killer', Kramer devises sadistic traps designed to test his subjects' will to live and appreciation for life, usually by having to go through extreme pain.

Tobin Bell's iconic performance as Kramer was undoubtedly one of the biggest factors behind the franchise's success, with his eloquent deliveries and genius-level intelligence making him incredibly enthralling to watch. Therefore, when Zombie Studios began development on the first Saw video game, it was clear Bell's portrayal was going to be pivotal in making the game a successful spinoff.

But, whilst Tobin Bell does provide his likeness and voice, and the infamous Billy the Puppet all appear in the game, players will never get a look at the man behind all the traps. The game follows Detective David Tapp, a man obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the Jigsaw case, so it certainly would have been a nice moment for players to see him get some closure.

Nevertheless, this small point doesn't take away from Bell's vocal performance which once again does a sterling job in creating a stunning horror villain.
