no matter what they've done you can't
help but root for these guys well this
is my kind of rain welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video game anti-heroes just to be clear
an anti-hero is a protagonist that
either has a questionable moral compass
or a dark history I was made for this
we're ranking these guys based on their
notoriety or their badass motives and as
usual one per franchise you have
yourself a good
time number 10 Raziel Legacy of cane
series how ironic if the creature that
you made should prove your own undoing
if vampires make you think of Twilight
you better think again this blood sucker
has to consume souls in order to survive
but it doesn't keep us from wanting him
to succeed and get revenge on his father
Cain for condemning him to death damn
you Cain you are not God this act of
genocide is unconscionable he has plenty
of weapons to get the job done but we
especially love the Soul Reaver sword
which has a Charged finishing strike
that can completely annihilate your
enemies number nine Dante Devil May Cry
series woo
come
on ooh I love a fast woman shut up if
you're going to kill your own kind you
may as well look good while you're doing
it this part is getting crazy a half
human half demon Demon Hunter most
enemies who face Dante don't stand a
chance because he has an arsenal stuck
with badass weapons like Ebony and Ivory
two handguns that never need to be
reloaded
then there's the 2013 reboot when he
became younger and even more obnoxious
but we're sticking with the
original number eight James Earl cash
Manhunt it's hard to imagine a less
sympathetic character than a convicted
murderer and that's just what cash is is
as bad as he seems he's definitely
easier to cheer for than the director
the voice of a guy making a snuff film
that tells cash that he'll be freed if
he follows his directions I'll try to
direct you as best I can but other than
that you're on your own it's up to you
unfortunately for cash the orders are
often extremely violent like when he has
to take on a group of satanic cultists
known as the
Innocents the price of Freedom sure is
high
[Music]
number seven Sly Cooper Sly Cooper
series you might have trouble thinking
of a cheery faed Raccoon as an anti-hero
but don't be fooled he's a criminal
mastermind ah carmalita I haven't seen
you since I gave you the slip in Bombay
he comes from a family of Master thieves
from around the world and he's inherited
their ability to sneak around and break
into places of course he wouldn't get
anywhere without his tools like the
hooked cane which is a family heirloom
he sometimes uses as a
[Music]
weapon number six John Marston Red Dead
Redemption I don't want to be no
policeman Marshall you can't survive in
the wild west without getting your hands
dirty and marsten is no
exception he's a former Outlaw who
agrees to track down the members of his
old gang for the FBI in order to be
reunited with his family not
surprisingly his old friends aren't too
happy about this and marsten is soon
fighting for his life in the wildest
parts of the Wild
[Applause]
West thankfully he's a pretty good shot
and is pretty Nimble on Horseback as
well number five Wario Super Mario
series okay
this guy started as the antagonist to
the Beloved plumber in Super Mario Land
2 but he was so entertaining that he
soon got his own games he's greedy evil
and has a hideous mustache but you can't
help loving his hilarious laugh he may
not have the innocence of Mario but you
still want to get him through his
Adventure like when he tries to steal
treasure from a group of pirates in the
first warand
game number four conquer conquer's Bad
Fur Day
um can we just go back a there drinking
my blood bit although he looks cute this
squirrel is actually one of the crudest
protagonists in all of video games as
he's a greedy alcoholic with a
hilariously cynical outlook on life
isn't it a little bit early in the day
to stop talking about Gothic
architecture it's up to you to help him
find his way home after a night of binge
drinking as obnoxious as he can be he's
still the one to root for here
especially when he faces a singing pile
of crap who calls himself the Great
Mighty Poo I am the Great Mighty Poo and
I'm going to throw my [ __ ] at you number
three Agent 47 Hitman
Series this contract killer doesn't show
much remorse for his victims but that
allows him to be ruthlessly effective at
his
job he was cloned to be the perfect
killer and and his genetic advantages
help him tackle seemingly impossible
missions missions like when he was
tasked with preventing the president's
assassination in Blood Money whatever
he's doing his leather gloves and black
suit are undeniably menacing hello 47
your next Targets in Chile number two
Tommy versetti Grand Theft Auto Vice
City you want somebody taken care of I
can handle it but it's going to cost you
this franchise is packed with
Unforgettable anti-heroes like CJ Nico
and Trevor but none of them are quite as
badass as Tommy he's determined to
become the top Kingpin in town and he's
willing to stop at nothing to reach his
goal even if it means killing a bunch of
people with a chainsaw I pay you double
dou but you're
squealing as Psychopathic as he is his
intelligence and flashy 80s outfits keep
us on his side and you look to me like
the kind of guy to persuade him
Persuasions my forte before we get to
our number one let's take a look at some
honorable mentions
hey you're the new kid yeah what's it to
you friendly aren't you give me a break
loser hey relax friend you're all pent
up going
in
move move it veto we can't let that fat
bastard get away number one Kratos God
of War series the hands of death could
not defeat me the sisters of Fate could
not hold me and you will not see the end
of this day a lot of these guys do a lot
of nasty things but Kratos Takes the
Cake he has little on his mind other
than getting revenge on the god
and there seems to be no limit to how
badly he's willing to slice up his
enemies like when he takes on Kronos in
God of War
I you little bastard still it's hard not
to respect his strength and dedication
even if his anger management tactics
make Charlie Sheen's meltdowns look like
an episode of Sesame Street
agree with our list no good zip it which
anti-hero did you end up rooting for for
more charismatic top 10s published daily
