Are there any video game with a female as the MAIN villain ?

[Imp_Emissary]

I just saw its ZP review again, so apparently (I never played the game) Zack and Wiki for the Wii has a female as the main antagonist.

 

[Red Rum]

The Gears of War series.

 

[Pipotchi]

Looking at the list we are building up it seems Female Antagonists are much more represented than female protagonists in the medium

Also Baldurs Gate 2 had Bohdi and the villian in the addon was female as well

 

[Drudgelmir]

Fear 2 has a female as its main villain I believe.

 

[F'Angus]

I assume Glados is female.

I'm also gonna say the Sorceress in Spyro: Year of the Dragon



Also WTH with this Captcha?

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

Ah, the memories

EDIT: Aw hell, ninja'd.

 

[AlotFirst]

Morrowind: Tribunal.

Almalexia, crazy woman.

 

[drummond13]

Sin, System Shock, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 (sort of), Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Tomb Raider, Portal.

I'm sure I know others, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Fear 2 has a female as its main villain I believe.

Eh...ambiguous. If you mean Alma, she's actually a bit too sympathetic, given her back story. If you mean Genevieve Aristede (sp?), she was set up like one in the first game, but in the second, she only really became the villain in the last 5 minutes.

I want to say Kerrigan was the main antagonist in Starcraft 2: Wings Of Liberty (as well as times in Brood War with the big "screw you all, I'm Queen ***** of the Universe" thing), but technically she's somewhat of an elaborate puppet. Still, she's pretty nasty.

 

[Creator002]

I would mention inFamous, but I'm not sure if that's entirely true as the final boss is

Spoiler: inFamous's final boss

your future self.

EDIT - Thank you all for your responses. I've got my facts cleared up. No need to quote me anymore.

 

[TheBT]

The Fear series, Kings Quest 7, Banjo Kazooie

and the winner of gamespots poll for greatest villan of all time... Kerrigan

Oh and any game based on 101 dalmations

 

[Quijiboh]

Tomb Raider series had several
BG2 Throne of Bhaal - Amelyssan
Prince of Persia Warrior Within - Kaileena if not the Dahaka

Spoiler

Dragon Age 2 - Meredith

... that's all I've got.

Dragon Age Origins archdemon is the old god Urthemiel, goddess of beauty, so you could consider the archdemon a "she". Also, in Dragon Age 2 if you side with the Mage circle, the boss is female. To round it out, there's the Broodmother in Awakening. Sorry, didn't mean to cover just DA, was only going to mention part 2, but got thinking.

 

[Invariel]

Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion.

 

[Richardplex]

All mine have been said, so I'm going to answer your other question. I don't think it matters; as long as the enemy is well characterised, gender is irrelevant.

 

[Fidelias]

Jedi Knight: Jedi Accademy had a female antagonist. I can't remember her name though. Talon something... Of course, she did get possessed by Markos Ragnos, so, who knows.

 

[Generic_Username]

Amanda in Tomb Raider: Legend, also Katherine Marlowe in Uncharted 3, but that's not out yet so yeah.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Spyro Year of the Dragon.

The sorceress was the main villain.
