Titular Antagonists

Games named after, or heavily allude to, their major antagonist(s).

Represents every other Alien game.
Also represents any other Dracula games that aren't Castlevania here.
The Japanese title for the series is Demon Castle Dracula, also Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse.
Also represents any other game where either the Dr. or The Creature are the main villains.
Only applies to the first game, later games are clearly just referring to Kratos.
Only applies to the first game, as Chronos is the main antagonist of 2.
Just Quake 1

Really cool idea. Here are a few more:

You have most of the Crash games but you forgot The Wrath of Cortex.
You could make a case for Hypnospace Outlaw.
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
The Tower of Druaga
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

There's probably others I'm forgetting.

Great list!! Pretty sure Quake is named after the protagonist though. I would also suggest Paradise Killer and Hades.

My bad! I see that you already have Paradise Killer my incredibly well-informed and with-it friend. Ummm... Wizard of Wor?

I added all the suggestions, feel bad for not remembering Wizard of Wor.

Also Quake is actually the in-universe code-name for Shub-Niggurath and her forces as well as their world they come from. Wiki backs me up on that and I do remember the official expansion missions calling the enemies, essentially "the forces of Quake."

That's interesting! I remember seeing this old preview text on a YouTube video at some point and I guess it just stuck in my head as that was the canon.
