Ok, now that I start to think about it, Dormin from Shadow of the Colossus was an awesome baddie. I'm not sure if you can quite call him the villain but I think he still qualifies.

Also, Vergil from Devil May Cry 3. He was pretty cool too. :3
Dormin is not really a bad guy, you are the bad guy. You kill those creatures who mean you no harm because you want to resurrect a girl. You are a selfish bastard in that game.

Walter Sullivan. Followed closely by Pyramid Head.
Calling Pyramid Head a villain is like blaming the axe instead of the murderer. I never thought of Pyramid Head as a Villian... Personal heart throb and idol sure, but Villian? He is just the manifestation of some very broken individuals misogyny and sexual frustration. If anything, James is the one to blame.

Before Crisis Core, I would have said Sephiroth - but that game presented him as quite a likeable, even caring person (at least, until he went bananas). I almost regretted tearing him several new ones in FFVII.

So I'm going to have to go with Kefka - quite a terrifying demonstration of what happens when near-absolute power ends up in the hands of a complete nutcase.

This is gaming discussion so I assume you mean best gaming villain. I always like Saren as the villain of Mass Effect. His belief that he was actually saving the universe humanised him to me in a way a lot of bosses don't. No one ever starts off on an endeavour thinking that they're going to commit evil, they will have a string of reasons and concessions which led them to the point where they become the enemy or start shooting cool Spectre selectors in the dome. That stuff ain't cool, yo.

In all villainy I would of course say Two face. Being my avatar aside, I've always liked the duality of the Two Face. I remember reading a comic ages ago and Batman was captured by a gallery of some of the worst villains in Gotham, one of whom is Two Face. I can't remember the specifics but they're probably wringing their hands with lascivious looks of pleasure as they consider how they'll dispose of Batman. The dark knight then asks Two Face to flip his coin whether he should live or die. Agreeing, he flips the coin and Batman wins the toss as it were. Two Face then beats down everyone else until they release Batman, with an iconic image, at least to me, of him choking the penguin asking for the key or whatever is going to be used for the unlocking. This was a bad guy, with bad guys, who would beat the snot out of them instead of killing his arch nemesis, on the toss of a coin. It's very unlikely that another villain will intrigue me as much.

Pokey/Porky from EarthBound!

He only tried helping destroying the world just to let Ness believe that he is cool..

In gaming I would personally support Luthor (Star Ocean: Till the End of Time), Kane (The Command & Conquer Tiberium Series) and Andrew Ryan (Bioshock).

Luthor was just amazing in his lack of emotion towards a universe he had created as computer game that then turned sentient, Andrew Ryan was technically a villain as he was going against the established order (USA, USSR and The Church) to rule his own city/world in way that is almost, but not quite, better.

As for Kane, he is just pure awesomeness personified... The guy has a vision of a perfect future and he is perfectly willing to kill thousands and enforce his will on the world to drag it kicking and screaming to an end that only he knows and understands.

Also I'm rather surprised that I'm the first to say Kane :-O

S.H.O.D.A.N.

She's the only villain I can think of, barring magically-gifted ones, that, if she existed in the real world, would end civilization in days.

I would say Dr. Horrible, but by the end of the story I got the feeling that he wasn't really a villain, he just thought he was and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Everything he wanted was everything he lost.
Well, that's the thing: He wasn't a villain at first. He was simply Billy masquerading as Dr. Horrible because he thought it was cool.

But the last song really shows how much he developed as a character: He becomes darker and edgier as the show progresses, and the loss of Penny is what tips him over the edge to become an actual villain.

At that point his agenda is no longer "Help humanity through a morally-grey set of actions", it's "Make the world pay for what it's done". Of course, on the inside he's still the same heartbroken Billy that everyone knows, but the Dr. Horrible part of him is no longer an act and it's taken over ('Now the nightmare's real, etc). Which is why in the last snippet where it cuts to Billy saying 'A thing', it's the Blog background but he's in his civvies and not his costume. It implies that the villain is having to pretend to be the man now, instead of the man pretending to be the villain like it was at first.

Doopliss, Paper mario the thousand year door.

He turns himself into a ghostly image of you, and starts using your attacks back at you. Then when you kill him he possesses you and leaves you in the ghostly version of yourself. The only way to break it is to find out his name and say it to him. Only he steals the D in your vocabulary, and you also do not know what his name is anyway (Just to reiterate it is Doopliss)

Personally I was just so hyped to corner and kill this guy after some of the horrible things he did to me.
