Play Tribune writes: "Come on, let’s face it – we all like a great villain. In novels and movies, the bad guy is invariably more interesting than the hero. They often have more personality, more charisma, more compelling back-stories and, more often than not, a whole host of memorable lines and idiosyncrasies. Think Darth Vader in Star Wars, or Long John Silver in Treasure Island. The villains of the piece are usually so much more compelling than the clean-cut heroes."
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
I like the choice of Portal on the list. Bison doesn't seem to bad either except he's not on the list.
Frank Fontaine FTW
Nice list!
Joker should be on the list now that I think about it. I was joker for halloween.
GLaDOS is a very different type of villain!
