Virtual Villainesses

Last month I presented my 10 favorite video game heroines. Well, I couldn’t help but go on to think about video game villains. They are in even shorter supply and even less likely to be respectably presented. I hate to say it, but the Diablo series, the indirect source of my username, is one of the worst offenders on the latter count. Game makers, please don’t try to combine sexy and grotesque. And don’t tell me you were aiming only for grotesque.

Ultimately I decided to compile only a top 5. I strongly considered using a non-round number instead (Cracked.com does it all the time), but to be honest, my feelings on #6 and below are mixed at best. Better to stick with the exciting ones.
