  • Welcome toe watch mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 video game heroes who should have never won.

  • The truth is, I hated you.

  • I wanted you out of the way I wanted my life back for.

  • This list will be looking at games, which pushed the player to question whether they were really playing on the side of the good guys.

  • Naturally, there will be spoilers disagree about who the real villains were in these video games.

  • Let us know in the comments.

  • Number 10.

  • The horrible goose untitled goose game, a viral sensation entitled Goose Game swam against the current of high res graphics and sprawling worlds to provide players with a simple little cartoon game where they're Onley.

  • Goal was to help on awful goose ruin everyone's good time.

  • Whether he was sneaking off with prized possessions or honking loudly at the most inappropriate moments, the goose quickly became the scourge of his neighborhood.

  • There's no story to justify his feathery terrorism.

  • He's just being a jerk.

  • Some geese just want to watch the world burn, and that's exactly why everyone loved it.

  • The pure catharsis of wreaking petty mischief on an otherwise orderly world.

  • Everything okay?

  • Number nine.

  • Alex Mercer prototype.

  • Everything I've given you, you're not even capable of appreciating it.

  • Mercer begins prototype as a bit of a mixed bag.

  • Sure, he unleashed a deadly virus upon New York City.

  • And sure, he is now an unstoppable mutant who devours innocent civilians to replenish his health.

  • But he basically stumbled into the situation and really is trying to put it right.

  • The player can keep telling themselves that for most of the game, while they run around with access for hence, of course, by the second game, he has become a full blown supervillain.

  • And you wonder whether maybe at some point during his murderous rampage, he might have just lost sight of things.

  • Okay, kill me.

  • Mother got all right then.

  • Number eight Tim Braid.

  • Yeah, At a glance, braids seemed to be using one of the most tried and proven formulas in all of gaming, a side scrolling platformer where a brave hero tries to track down on imperil Princess.

  • The things that separated break from the pack, however, were a creepy Gothic atmosphere and a timer winding mechanic which forced players to flip their understanding of the situation to solve the puzzle.

  • And as it turned out, they also had to flip their understanding of the game story.

  • The princess was trying to escape him all along, leaving traps behind her in an attempt to slow him down.

  • In the end, all of the players ingenious puzzle solving efforts were helping a predator tracked down his prey.

  • Number seven Wander Shadow of the Colossus is the killer.

  • Could it is all over your tyrannical.

  • It's no hours, um, usual.

  • Another twist on to save the princess formula.

  • Shadow of the Colossus charts wanders quest to bring his beloved back to life by slaying a series of gigantic beasts.

  • But something always feels off.

  • The creatures aren't sinister monsters, just big, lumbering animals with each majestic being the player stabs out of existence, the quest comes to feel more and more like a crime against nature.

  • It's clearly taking its toll on wander to who looks increasingly sickly and begins to sprout horns.

  • By the time his quest is over, he has unwittingly unleashed an evil entity known as doorman from captivity and is possessed by it.

  • Not great.

  • Wander, not great.

  • Number six Kazuya Mishima Tech in Texans original storyline saw Kazuya entering the Iron Fist tournament to take revenge upon his father, Hachi, for throwing him off a cliff.

  • That's a pretty sympathetic motivation as these things go, and watching Kazuo take his dad down and seize control of the family company was a pretty satisfying way to tie things up.

  • But then it was revealed that Cassio had become so powerful by teaming up with the devil and that he was now running the company even more easily than his father had across the Sequels.

  • He continued to have murderous disputes with various family members and also tried to use his private military to conquer the world.

  • We're not saying, Hey, Hachi had the right idea, but you know, e number five Trevor Phillips Grand Theft Auto five.

  • Okay, it's arguable that no Grand Theft Auto protagonist has ever really deserved toe win.

  • They're all violent Gangsters who rack up quite the body count inside the set missions alone, never mind what the player has them doing in their spare time.

  • But while the likes of Tommy Varsity and C J are basically dragged into gang wars, which they otherwise might have avoided, Trevor beats, robs and kills basically, whoever he feels like, without remorse and sometimes without reason.

  • Anytime you switch to him, he's doing something insane or terrible or both.

  • There is literally no reason to root for him.

  • He's an agent of pure chaos, with almost no redeeming qualities, but he sure is funny.

  • Samawa.

  • Now we keep a low profile and get on with our lives.

  • His friends.

  • What?

  • Do I have a choice?

  • No, not really.

  • Number four Martin Walker Spec ops.

  • The Line Marks way.

  • Need back up.

  • Luego distance About 100 yards away.

  • Let's move.

  • Speak off the line arrived at a really interesting moment in gaming critics and players were starting to pay a lot more attention to the disconnect between video games, which painted the protagonist as a hero even as they mowed down hundreds of people during the game to play With this paradox, spec ops had Walker commit increasingly horrifying acts while he followed the orders of a charismatic commanding officer named Konrad.

  • While this was already a pretty morally fraught story, it really twists the knife at the end when it reveals that Conrad died some time ago and Walker has developed a hallucinated version of him to pin the blame on Walker like the player was actually in control.

  • The whole time happened here is out of my control.

  • Was it?

  • None of this would have happened if you just stopped.

  • Number three Jane Sunderland Silent Hill to How do you know about that watch?

  • At first glance, James really seems like he's going to be a straightforward, sympathetic hero.

  • He travels to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his late wife, Mary, promising to meet him there.

  • Instead, he meets a woman who looks a lot like her Maria, as well as countless terrifying monsters.

  • But while it seems like he has slowly piecing together what happened, the player is actually being drawn through James's own repressed psyche, which is riddled with guilt from the fact that he is, in fact the one who killed his terminally ill wife.

  • On top of this crushing realization, the player will be met with one of six endings, some of which are utterly insane but none of which are exactly happy.

  • Forgive me.

  • I told you that I wanted to die jeans.

  • I wanted the pain to end number two credos God of war.

  • After 10 years of suffering 10 years of endless nightmares, it will finally come to an end.

  • Credo says Epic quest for Revenge begins when the God of War Aires tricks him into killing his own wife and daughter.

  • While that is an excellent reason to climb up on Olympus to punch some no good gods right in their celestial faces, it ignores the fact that Kratos placed himself in areas service in the first place.

  • He was about to get killed on the battlefield, and so he made the ancient Greek equivalent of a deal with the devil to save his own life.

  • Ended ended up costing him his family.

  • The war cradles ends up.

  • Waging on Olympus is thrilling, and the games version of the gods really do suck.

  • But it is worth remembering that it all begins with Kratos mortal, who had become the new god of war.
