Lists are fun when it comes to games. They are a great way to detail a person or company’s opinion on just about anything, from the sexiest heroine to the most deadly weapon. This list of eleven from UGO offers a fun look at a different sort of weapon, the creepiest video gaming psychics. You will likely recognize many of the top contenders for this somewhat freaky group, but the top candidate my surprise you.

While there are some super freaks in the psychedelic realm, from the Combine Advisors in Half-Life 2 to the Queen of Blades from StarCraft, three of the top ten spots are classics. Check out M. Bison, the dictator who first appeared in the 1991 Capcom release, Street Fighter II. Rion from the original PS1 game Galerians, released in 1998, gained his psychic abilities after experimentation on his brain went amiss.

But finally, the biggest and baddest psychic weapon goes all the way to the coin operated arcades. Meet the evil Lord Geld from the side-scrolling beat-em up, Violent Storm. This 1993 Konami release features the Geld Gang as the primary adversaries and Lord Geld as the final boss, wielding multiple psychic attacks.

Check out the rest of the list here.
