10 Most Psychotic Gaming Heroes You Should Be Creeped Out By

5. Kratos

Kratos has one mode. Angry. That€™s it. That€™s all he does. And he€™s good at it. Even better is that he enjoys his work, but no one should enjoy gutting people this much. Kratos has turned the anatomy of murder into an art form. Maiming and mutilating is the only way his anger-only lifestyle will allow him to express himself, with every enemy a potential canvas for him to practice his grotesque skills. The balletic movement of his chains, the graceful swing of his sword, the soulful strokes of the blood on the floor; it€™s all inspired by the intense and irrational hatred he feels for literally anything. He€™s like Charles Mingus or Kingsley Amis - or that kid who started crying when everyone was taking the pee-pee out of Britney Spears. Thing is though, balls of rage like Kratos are never usually the heroic type. More the sit in a dark room, polishing their guns, 'waiting-for-the-day-of-purification-to-come' types. Also, the fact that he gets his instructions from a bunch of Gods is a red flag. When was the last time someone who cut a bloody swath of destruction through the heart of civilisation in the name of god, wasn't in need of a padded cell and a nice, warm cup of tranquiliser fluid? It€™s no wonder whoever gets involved with this angry loner always ends up dead.

Son of an Eldritch Bloodlord come to earth to lay waste to humanity. No, wait. That's not right. I write about videogames and WWE and stuff.
