10 Most Evil A.I. In Video Game History

6. Skynet - Terminator Games

Just like the Skynet from the Terminator film franchise, this is an AI with threat written all over it.

The superintelligent AI and neural-network that was created by Cyberdyne Systems gained self-awareness, as these things tend to do, and decided it was not chill simply doing the bidding of its masters. Its masters then tried to shut it down to which it replied in a super lowkey way by launching a nuclear attack in an event that would henceforth be known as Judgement Day. Skynet’s forces include ruthless and powerful Terminator models that consistently serve as nasty antagonists for our heroes and the Resistance. Taking down a system that can almost always find a way to reinstate itself somewhere else is a towering objective.

Good for sequels, tricky for our protagonists.
