10 Gaming Henchmen More Powerful Than Their Bosses

6. The Tyrant - Resident Evil Series

tyrant Are you familiar with the Resident Evil series? Do you remember the Tyrant? Are you getting irrationally frightened just thinking about that monstrosity? If you said €œno€ you are lying. Liar! One of the most iconic and truly terrifying video game villains of all time. The Tyrant was the result of genetic experiments by the Umbrella Corporation and ended up chasing our heroes through many entries in the franchise. Thinking you were done with him after the first one only to have to do battle with him again in Resident Evil 2? Thanks a lot for that one. The Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 was technically an altered version of the Tyrant and then when the Tyrant surprisingly shows up three quarters of the way through Code Veronica, why? Why, damn you? Through all the various main villains that popped up throughout the franchise, whether it was the Weskers or various agents of the Umbrella Corporation, the Tyrant was the monster that haunted your dreams. He was never the one pulling the strings, he instead was the one that kept you up at night. I still to this day can€™t hear glass break and not think of the Tyrant bursting through that chamber. Well, that and the zombie dogs. Great, guess I€™m not sleeping tonight.

I'm married and live in New York with my wife and pets. I'm a writer and definitely not a comedian (just ask my wife). I've successfully linked my twitter, goodreads, facebook and google+ pages although the successful aspect of all that is up for debate. I also started my own blog on wordpress and have just finished my first novel, The Violent Winds. Now it's time to try and trick some unsuspecting fool into buying it.
