Get Behind the Villains

Don't know your Kane from your Kain? What has one evil artificial intelligence got over another? What's a Lavos? If you find yourself asking these questions, (1) be ashamed and (2) get some answers in Behind the Villains! This comprehensive feature briefs you on all 64 villains vying for the title of the All-Time Greatest Game Villain and features images of them at their best (or is it worst?).

Remember that though you may have already filled out your bracket (you did fill out a bracket, right?), you can still make changes to it until voting begins on August 26. If you were unaware of just how deeply, disturbingly evil Purple Tentacle was, well…now you know! And knowing is half the battle.

To find out more about our motley crew of evildoers, access our feature directly or click on the "more info" link next to each villain on the bracket page.

Are you a diehard Team Rocket fan, and do you want to show it off to the world? Want to spread the word about just how evil Giygas is? Get involved in our image kit contest!
