The 25 Most Memorable Italians in Video Games

The Darkness

Unlike the good Roman Catholic boy his grandmother raised him up to be, Jackie deploys demon minions to do his bidding when he should be at home doing rosaries and eating sausages in the shape of St. Francis. The Mafia hitman (what, you were expecting Dr. Estacado, Esq.?) becomes possessed with the powers of the Darkness on his 21^st birthday.

ECW Anarchy Rulz

And you foolishly thought law and order ruled the Extreme Championship Wrestling federation. The toughest guys to ever grapple in leotards, the F.B.I. made their video game appearance in ECW Anarchy Rulz for the Playstation and Dreamcast. The Full-Blooded Italians featured a rotating cast of stereotypes that make the Jersey Shore kids look like Rhodes Scholars. Fans were known to chant "Where's my pizza?" at the Mafia-referencing, hand-gesturing, greasy-haired crew, who are currently active in the TNA wrestling league.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

It's Tommy's oily loafers you'll slide into in GTA: Vice City. After finally being released from prison after his mob-related homicide conviction, Tommy wisely re-ups with the Forelli family - a life of crime and alfredo sauce is the only life he's ever known, after all. Tommy is voiced by real-life Italian Ray Liotta, the man responsible for portraying (the Irish) Henry Hill in the gangster classic, Goodfellas.

Street Fighter series

Pompadourable V. Rosso only appears in the Street Fighter EX series, the fighting franchise's questionable foray into polygonal 3D. Rosso's atrocious, decidedly non-Italian fashion sense is mitigated by the following: he is upset because his girlfriend died, and his name means "Red Volcano" in Italian.
