From Agent 47 to Duke Nukem, we look at gaming's antiest anti-heroes

Harman Smith - Killer 7
A wheelchair-bound 60-year-old? Don't let his appearance fool you - this guy is hardcore. His schizophrenic personality disorder is so strong his multiple selves take actual physical form as seven deadly assassins. Yup,Harman makes sure you'll think twice before accepting your grandad's offer of a fishing trip for 'just the two of you' next time. And his game may be utterly bewildering, but put it this way - we wouldn't mention it.

James Earl Cash - Manhunt
Manhunt's antiest of anti-heroes James Earl Cash is on death row from the start of the game. We never find out exactly what he was convicted of originally, but judging by his ability to stab people in the eyes, suffocate them with bags and maim them in increasingly gory and inventive ways without batting an eyelid, we'd guess that it wasn't for parking offences. Unless it was for parking on someone's head and then switching the engine off.
