33. Mr X Streets of Rage Series
Anyone who can convince a horde of monsters and literally thousands of people to fight for his cause must be very clever and confident. The way he bitch slaps you with the gun at the end of the game is pretty sweet too, dont venture too near him when trying to kick him in the face. Youve just got to love that laugh, its ridiculously camp evil. What a git! Ends up as a brain in a jar for the third gameha! Seriously, he does. Pure manipulation sees this guy earn his place on the list. He has control of a whole city and who wouldnt want one of those?
32. Dominic Dom Santiago Gears of War Series
*SPOILERS* Dom initially seems like just some extra hired muscle who doubles up nicely for the co-op multiplayer goodness aspect of the game. However, he has probably the most in depth back story of all of the characters in the game barring Marcus himself we guess. He spends his time trying to find the wife who was stolen from him by the evil Locust. When he finally finds, her he has no alternative than to end her torture induced suffering with a bullet to the brainal column in a scene which almost prised a tear from our wretched hearts. After this, he is a man on a mission, fighting harder and harder, until finally he goes out in a blaze of heroics, saving Delta Squad by blowing up a shit load of Locust in the same instant. His heroism, a mark of selfless beauty on one of the most desolate gaming environments ever created.
31. Lazlo Every Grand Theft Auto Game Since GTA3
Lazlo is the only character in the series to cross so many games, starring in all of the titles from the PS2 era onwards. This radio DJ, turned Talk Radio, turned public radio renegade amused us throughout the GTA series with his crazy shows. As soon as we got our copies of each new games, we set out to find which station we could listen to his sometimes crazy, always whimsical japery on. Basically this guy is the voice of Grand Theft Auto.
30. Victor Sully Sullivan Uncharted Series
*SPOILERS* Sully is Nathan Drakes older, perhaps not wiser, father figure in the Uncharted series and is one hell of a guy to boot. The games tend to dabble with the concept of betrayal when it comes to Sully, in the first game he is seen working with the bad guys after Nate thought him dead and in the third one, we got the unerring suspicion that after the old guy is shot once again and mystically reappears, that we could well be in for some belated treachery. The story plays with this character a lot. We hear a lot of too old for this dialogue, that leaves you thinking after the first five minutes that Nate will be brushing tears from his eyes at the funeral of his replacement papa by the end of play. But every time we think weve seen a dark side, or a suspicion, the game does a flip and it all turns out well and everyone has a victorious puff of a cigar as they fly off into the sunset.
29. Frank Atlas Fontaine - Bioshock
*SPOILERS* Would you kindly look away now before we ruin the game for you! When we first meet Atlas, he is a man desperate to escape the underwater city ofRapturewith his family who are subsequently killed by the games lead antagonist Andrew Ryan. The player is then led by Atlas to perform certain acts in order for them to affect an escape, after of course avenging the deaths of his poor family by killing Ryan. Turns out that Atlas is Frank and hes tricked you all along. The twist on this guy is awesome and pretty much unexpected. You get to like Atlas throughout the game and then it turns out to be just evil Frank, which sorts of gives you a grudging respect for his inventiveness. What a massive asshole!
28. Vekk Guild Wars: Eye of the North
Now what is not to love about this guy? He is funny, rude, arrogant and best of all, voiced by the guy who was Brain from Pinky and the Brain! He even uses the line Are you pondering what Im pondering? Love every second of this guy, although as hes only an expansion character we wish hed had more screen time. Best quote has to be: You are my kind of stupid.
