1. Clyde the Ghost from Pac-Man
Ready for some deep Pac-Man lore? In the original game, Clyde would often change his mind and shyly beat a retreat when chasing Pac-Man. In the TV series Pac-Man and The Ghostly Adventures, Clyde’s caring personality truly blossoms. Hold on to your pellets: Even more spoilers ahead! (Photo: Namco) 2. Bowser
Bowser’s definitely a creepy princess stalker, a crime for which there’s no redemption. But in Super Mario RPG and Bowser’s Inside Story, he pulls his own weight when in saving the mushroom kingdom. He cares. He just has a hard time showing it. (Photo: Nintendo) 3. Min from Far Cry 4
If you play on the main path, the warlord Min comes off as quite the sociopath. But, at the beginning of the game, if you take his instructions at face value and wait 15 minutes for him to return, you open up an alternate ending where Min shows off his sweet side.

In Sonic 3, Knuckles gives off a bad first impression as one of Dr. Robotnik’s henchman. But he’s really just a victim of the Eggman’s lying schemes. When he finds out the truth, he ultimately joins Sonic’s side. He never drops the snarling attitude, though. (Photo: SEGA) 5. The White Witch from Ni No Kuni
Cassiopea is practically the Walter White of Ni No Kuni. The White Witch broke bad for all the right reasons. When she cast the powerful Ashes of Resurrection spell, she only meant to help those around her, but ended up causing massive despair ... just, you know, without the meth. (Photo: Bandai Namco) 6. King Dedede from Kirby’s Adventure
It’s easy to miss the real story behind Kirby. King Dedede is the true hero, one who has gone to great lengths to hide the powerful star rod. But Kirby’s bumbling ineptitude almost destroys Dream Land when he assembles the device anyway and delivers it right into Nightmare’s clutches. (Photo: Nintendo) 7. Godot from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations
This prosecuting attorney with the flashy cyborg visor has a temper even hotter than the black coffee he gulps during trial. But once you learn of his undying love for Maya and Mia Fey, you can’t help but feel sorry for the fella and everything he’s endured. (Photo: Capcom) 8. Alister Azimuth from Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time
You’d think someone who practically killed Ratchet twice is irredeemable. But we know the real Alister to be a judicious rebel leader who prioritizes the salvation of the Lombaxes above all else, even his own life. (Photo: Sony) 9. Kessler from Infamous
The first Infamous title had one of the most surprising twists in video game history. Kessler may appear dastardly at first blush (the dude did kill your girlfriend after all), but what if his actions are really forcing you to develop your skills to fight the true evil ahead? (Photo: Sony) 10. GLaDOS from Portal 2
Like many real people who suffer hardships, GLaDOS’s personality undergoes a transformation through the tumultuous events of Portal 2. After the indignity of being stuck inside a potato, she finds it in her electric heart to help save Chell. (Photo: Valve) 11. Yggdrasill from Tales of Symphonia
This half-elf has a surprising backstory as a victim of racial intolerance. After his sister’s death in a war of expulsion, he goes on a civil rights crusade, which is totally understandable. He just takes it a wee bit too far. (Photo: Namco) 12. Idenn from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade
This shaman may take the form of a loathsome dragon in the final boss fight, but in her defense, her soul was destroyed more than 1,000 years ago and transformed into a demon. If you defeat her in hard mode, she recovers her soul and you get a glimpse of the playful divinity she used to be. (Photo: Nintendo) 13. The Masked Man from Mother 3
The Masked Man initially appears as a force of evil who will do anything to stop Lucas from succeeding. But his sacrificial gesture in the final battle paves the way for the destruction of the Pork Army. (Photo: Nintendo) 14. Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2
Maybe it’s time to revisit Jack’s legacy with a more generous eye. His original utopian plan to get rid of the bandits in Pandora was probably well-intentioned. Even the biggest monsters are heroes in their own stories. (2K Games) 15. Kitaniji from The World Ends With You
Following the likes of Handsome Jack, Kitaniji is another villain whose overwhelming love for a city drives him toward evil actions. But can you really blame him for loving a city as cool as Shibuya? (Photo: Square Enix) 16. Marauder Shields from Mass Effect 3
The final random enemy of your journey sacrificed himself so you wouldn’t have to see the game’s disappointing ending. The outpouring of love for Marauder Shields on image boards has given him the status of a modern-day folk hero. We salute our fallen comrade. (Photo: Electronic Arts) 17. Edea Kramer from Final Fantasy VIII
It's hard to think of a villain who has a gentler side than Edea. When you initially encounter her, she's a merciless sadist. But as the story develops you learn she's just possessed, and actually cares for destitute children in an orphanage. She's the Mother Theresa of evil sorcerers. (Photo: Square Enix)

LEGO Minifigures Online has been in the free-to-play marketplace for some time. The game is now launching on Steam with cross-platform play via Android and iOS. Jake from PC Gaming Enthusiast delivers his thoughts on the game.
He writes:
"Graphics have never played a huge role in LEGO games and the same reigns true here. The LEGOs look like LEGOs and there is plenty of different environments to explore, offering colorful environments made with the classic toys."

| PlayStation#39;s 9 most shocking scare moments
Added: 25.06.2015 12:00 | 34 views | 0 comments
Ever had a shadowy figure pass by in the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look nothings there? Your heart pounds with unnecessary adrenaline and the confidence boost of instant relief as you realise everything's fine. That feeling can be addictive, even if you suddenly find that your underpants are a little damp. Games are great at giving you those scares alongside the safety of knowing 'it's only a game. So here are nine of PlayStation’s biggest squinting-through-your-fingers shockers
.
Creative Assembly’s love letter to Ridley Scott’s haunted house in space is stuffed with jump scares – thanks to a nine-and-a-half foot Xenomorph that’s powered by some seriously clever systemic AI. Learning from your stealth tactics, HR Giger’s beastie adapts, stalks and terrifies.
Another smashed window, another classic Capcom fright. Rather than dealing with decomposing canines (see number four), Dino Crisis’ Regina is confronted by the game’s Tyrannosaurus Rex in a shocking jump scare that makes Jurassic Park’s hairiest (or should that be scaliest?) bits look suitable for Sesame Street.
You call that a Batarang? This is a Batarang. Actually, we’d rather have Mick Dundee’s machete when atavistic badass Killer Croc first jumps out at the Dark Knight in Arkham’s sewage works. Cue a tense face-off as you sneak past a beast that constantly tries to ambush Bats from the water below.
The daddy of all digital ‘BOO’ moments, and one that likely sent many a pacemaker into a terrifying flutter back in ‘96. After entering the spooky halls of Spencer Mansion, your choice of STARS agent happens upon an innocuous corridor with a rather big windo... AH, RUN AWAY! UNDEAD DOBERMAN! That pouncing pooch was one masterful sight scare.
While Red Barrels’ first-person fear-fest does contain a scene where a naked MD chases you with a rusty hacksaw, its biggest jump moment has a fairly low-key build-up. After putting out a blaze in a canteen, a burnt dude hops out at you, gives you a quick squeeze, then does a runner. Trust us, it’s a lot scarier than it sounds.
Sadly, not even a hastily acquired court order could put a dampener on the murderous aspirations of these particular Stalkers. Each time Isaac encounters one of the skittish dastards, they hide, peek around corners, then sprint and maul. A startling shock for any space engineer.
It doesn’t matter if you floss daily down in Rapture, because the dentists in this submerged utopia would rather disembowel you than fix those pesky fillings. When Jack investigates Dandy Dental in search of a brand new Plasmid, he’s set upon by a tooth-fiddler who attacks him out of nowhere. What a Bio-shocker.
After her ship crashes in the Dragon’s Triangle, a young Lady Croft must hunt for food, bandage up her various owies and smear as much virtual muck on her tank top as humanly possible. Oh, and she also has to search a deep, dark cave… which just happens to house a brassed off wolf, following several minutes of unsettling, off-screen growls.
Hospitals are rubbish at the best of times, let alone when they’re inhabited by the disembodied giant head of your neighbour. This huge, jittery-eyed cranium sneaks up on you through some clever camera placement and smartly reverses the game’s peeping Tom themes as it stares a hole in you.
