I can't help but feel that his sole appearance on the last generation of consoles wasn't the best showing of everyone's favorite space captain with hair (I'm talking about the Chris Pine incarnation, pedants). I like the new films and all, but you can't help but admit that the game adaptation being a whiz-bang third-person shooter also-ran didn't hit a little close to home.
James Bond is still a threat. Well, sort of. The enduring memories of his seventh gen incarnations include having Daniel Craig replace Brosnan in an N64 classic that should've stayed in history, that game where he's always checking Twitter on his phone because he no longer gives a shit and that one time where he ran around Fort Knox swinging a gun and grunting like a caveman.
Oh, Freddy Prinze Jr. I appreciate how you didn't phone it in while voicing James, creating quite a likeable fellow during Mass Effect's final hour. Man, did we all hold our breath when we first saw the guy though. As far as Mass Effect 3 disappointments go, however, he didn't even make it into the top fifty (which I do believe I might have written down somewhere around here).
What is it with Liam Neeson and mentor figures that either end up dead or missing? Depending on how you played this game? I better not need a spoiler warning for Fallout 3; go play that shit.
This... boy?... just makes me feel bad about never playing Rune Factory. A Harvest Moon game crossed with a regular JRPG? Sounds right up my quaint country road. Not a euphemism. I was being wistful dammit, don't ruin this moment with your puerility.
James "Sawyer" Ford, from Patrick Klepek's favorite franchise that doesn't involve dinosaurs. Unless they got way crazier in those later seasons I never bothered watching once it became clear they were making shit up as they went along. Hey, remember that Lost game for 360? Remember its stupid puzzle with the TNT? Oh, you didn't play it? Sensible.
Tomb Raider Legend went in some strange directions with the franchise, like having the idea that some douchey rich kid made for a good villain. I mean, we all hate them, but you kind of want a T-Rex or some ancient demon in the bad guy seat.
I don't generally go for memes, but the one where people continually asked put-upon mute James Ramirez of Modern Warfare 2 to do absolutely everything tickled me all the same. He may be a complete non-character, but he saved Earth from the Martians and cured cancer you damn kids. When (maybe that should be "if") he dies he's getting his own Tomb of the Unvoiced Soldier.
Kane and Lynch came out last generation too you guys. Considering all the history that's gone down since then, the generation really feels like it began a loooong time ago.
Fuckin' hate computers. The hero (big quotes around that one) of Prototype 2 knew they would be replacing consoles by the time the next generation rolled around. He knew!
