Favorite Videogame Characters

A game is only as interesting as the characters/people in them. These are my favorites.

Showing 1-10 of 21 items

Mega Man

1. Mega Man

Image if you could punch a guy who knew karate, and then all of a sudden, You Knew Karate! That is basically why Mega Man is great (this goes for Mega Man X too).

Nero

1. Nero

Dante and Nero are two sides of the same coin, but the sides still differ greatly.

Dante

1. Dante

He can use guns AND a sword. Apparently, there is a place that teaches marksmanship along with sword fighting. Who knew!

Alyx Vance

1. Alyx Vance

If the crowbar is your "sense of touch" in the Half-Life 2 games, then Alyx is your sense of, well, everything else. Half-Life 2 is basically Alyx's story, and I wouldn't have it any other way. (Plus it's nice to see a Strong BLACK Woman in a videogame).

Solid Snake

1. Solid Snake

At first I didn't like Snake that much, pretty much because Konami keeps trying to turn him into the Chuck Norris of videogames, but I guess he is ok. After all, he can take down giant robots like its nothing.

Commander Shepard

1. Commander Shepard

Usually a character you create yourself is pretty boring, but it speaks of Mass Effects strengths that he/she can be so engaging.

Beat

1. Beat

Beat might be the coolest Japanese/White boy on the block....after all, his head is apparently made of super huge headphones....yeah...

Claire Redfield

1. Claire Redfield

Claire might just be the most interesting character in the resident evil series....

Yuna

1. Yuna

Yuna is to FFX as Alyx Vance is to Half-Life 2. So meaning she is great.

GLaDOS

1. GLaDOS

GLaDOS is hilarious. Period.
