And now we wrap up our selection of honorable mentions, handpicked by our Press X To Podcast Facebook followers, right here:
Skull Kid – Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
The Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is one devious little trickster. Even worse, he wants to destroy all of Termina – by dropping the moon on it! Just awful.
M Rossi – Forza Franchise
I’ll be honest, I had not heard of this “villain” before. It turns out that many of the Forza franchise games have an AI driver named “M Rossi” that is just brutally difficult to drive against. It just goes to show that even the best racing games have a good villain!
SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network)
The evil AI from the System Shock franchise. SHODAN had its moral restraints deleted and now has a bit of a god complex – not a good combination.
Captain Walker
The main villain from Spec Ops: The Line. Captain Walker thought what he was doing was for the greater good… he was wrong.
Tom Nook
Tom Nook, the shady raccoon from the Animal Crossing franchise has always found a way to swindle gamers out of hard-earned bells. There has to be a government agency that can look into this corruption!
