Every good videogame needs an antagonist to boot. These are my favorites.

Bowser-Mario Series
Bowser is one tenacious bastard and a ballsy one at that. He'a goes for where it hurts Mario the most, his woman. He's been doing this for so long that it should've been high times for Mario to trade up. But what would we waste our quarters and time on?

Dr. Eggman/Robotnic-Sonic the Hedgehog Series
With an IQ of 300, you'd think he would've wasted a certain hedgehog by now, but no. He's almost as determined as Bowser and will even fight fire with fire, A.K.A. Metal Sonic.

King of Sorrows-Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
He's but an embittered child-like creature that holds a shunned kingdom on his shoulders and infinate sorrow in his heart. His eyes are red from constant crying and he won't quite his ambitions without a fight. It truly is ironic that the only thing that makes him smile is sorrow.

Charade-Soul Calibur II
Charade knows everyone's number. He has everyone's style that can deal with any situation. If you can master charade then you ARE the master.

Cackletta-Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
She's more insidious than Bowser and has more fight in her. Even killing her won't be enough to stop her terror even if it means taking over your arch nemesis' body and eating you whole.

Tabuu-Super Smash Bros. Brawl
He is an entity to behold. Stealing others' worlds to create his own. He will achieve this at any cost even if it means killing his labored subjects to steal dimmensions and blackmailing a certain minister we all know. Even with every hero assembled, all that it takes is wave of his beautiful wings to wipe out all of the heroes' work. It's strange his downfall was a result of a fat penguin's foresight and a certain speedy hedgehog who made a surprise appearance.

Saren-Mass Effect
He wants control and will betray his honor and allies to achieve. All it takes is a little mind control and some pistol work.

General Raam-Gears of War
If he sees you he doesn't stop to explain his plan like another generic villain (besides that plan being pretty obvious); he'll simply kill you. End of story.

Sephiroth-Final Fantasy VII
I don't particularly like Sephiroth; I hate him in fact. But how can I ignore someone whose attack can destroy a PLANET! But don't worry, it's just Pluto.

Chaos (All Forms)-Sonic Adventure DX
He's the god of chaos and will use you while you don't even realise it. In the end, he'll just drown the world.

Metal Sonic-Sonic the Hedgehog Series
Not a very reocurring character but he makes an impact when he makes an appearance. Before he launches an attack he figures out your moves and abilities. Know thy enemy.

Satan-Megame Tensai: Persona 4
Dude...He's Satan.

Double-Megaman X4
He's been cheering you on from the start of your adventure. Towards the end, he savagely kills all of your comrades. You can't help but feel violated with betrayal.

Ripper Roo-Crash Bandicoot 2
There nothing more for me to say than DAMN! That laugh is just disturbing. Not even that stray jacket will stop him from blowing you up.

Zant-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
He is utterly insane. He is trying to usurp an entire kingdom. Even though he is being double-crossed he will still finish the one who betrayed him.

Ganon/Ganondorf-The Legend of Zelda Series
Ganon lives on for generations trying to kill the hero of time. He's had his fair share of double-crosses but he can put up a fight when he needs to.

These are my favorite videogame villains.
