Im to oldschool to know the newer villains on that list. I see that Sephiroth is on the list (as he shuld be) but one thing i dont realy get is why kefka from final fantasy 3 (or 6) never is spoken of as a super villain. Sure Spehiroth is a bad arse but he just misses his mother realy. Kefka on the other hand just wana experience the micro sec of nothing when he destroys everything. Thats wicked!

I'd find it hard to say 'That's a bad list' because it all depends on what games you've played, and what you're opinions are. Actually, it's not that hard. That's a bad list. The voice from Portal? The Lich King? Give me a break, please.
I'd agree with Sephiroth and Bowser to a certain extent, except that Kuja and Kefka were far 'better' Final Fantasy baddies, and Bowser is such a likeable character to play in the Mario spinoffs (Kart, Smash Bros, Tennis etc.).
Bohan I've never heard of, and Andrew Ryan and Wesker I've never encountered due to not playing their respective games enough. Bison is a weird choice, though, since the Street Fighter games have very little story or characterisation to develop a hatred for him through, and the G-Man is just a boring rhetoric machine. Ganondorf is a decent shout, even though I haven't played all the way through Ocarina of Time.
Names I'd include on this list would be Ridley from the Metroid series, the Nemesis from Resi Evil 3, Kane from C&C (good shout, Fist), Saren (and, by extension, the Geth) from Mass Effect and Jericho from Driver 2, among others.

We could argue till the cows come home about who should be on the list, but at least we can all agree on the fact that that particular list is crap. I'd also add that Andrew Ryan isn't particularly a vilain either. Certainly not THE villain of Bioshock.

AHHH SHIT! AHHH AHHH! SPOILERS. I haven't completed Bioshock yet! To be fair, though, I'm just after then Arcadia Gardens place and it's looking like that is indeed the case. I've heard so many people talk about the 'BIG PLOT TWIST' in Bioshock, too, so I was expecting something like that.

Bowser is not a bad guy, he's just VERY ANNOYED.

I hadn't heard much about the storyline when I played it, so it all came as a shock.
Bioshock's one I'll definitely agree with, though.

Sorry about the 'spoiler', but the game has been out for ages and isn't very long. Get your arses into gear you muppets!
Not much of a twist if you played SS2 anyway. Since the games are fairly similarly plotted (disappointingly). SS2 was a work of genius. All Bioshock added imho was advanced graphics.

I have a theory on that,m Sephiroth is badass, has a badass sword and tries to wipe out the entire planet in one go, purely for the power he'd gain from it. He also has a lot of character depth (raised unaware of being an experiment, fathered technically by a mental scientist, etc) Kefka (and it's 6, btw) on the other hand is just a mental clown-like weirdo hell-bent on power, hardly any character depth at all.

Yeah, shame my brother loaned the game (my game) to one of his chums while I was still halfway through it
He's had it for about a year and a half now! I don't think I'll ever get it back. Don't cry, poor BioShock!
