GameSpot's All-Time Greatest Game Hero Draws to a Close. And the Winner Is...

That's it. The votes are in and you, the faithful, the fans, the readers of GameSpot, have decided on the single greatest game hero of all time.

You have decided to follow the Free Man.

GameSpot offers its heartiest congratulations to Gordon Freeman, the hero of the Half-Life series, and the winner of this epic competition.

We also extend our congratulations to user Blakenthal, the voter with the winningest bracket!

For those who came close in their brackets (and those who didn't), we here at GameSpot still offer our sincerest thanks for participating, and for making this a lively and spirited competition. You may not have won, but we still salute you anyway (just to a lesser extent than we salute Blakenthal, who again, had the top bracket in the competition).

To help take the sting out of the agony of defeat, please enjoy one last video victory lap for our winning hero, Gordon Freeman. In a way, all game heroes who entered the competition are winners. But in another, more accurate way, only Gordon is the winner.
