    Congratz Freeman. Oh, and If you do not already own the Orange Box, what are you waiting for?

    Gordon, you are THE gaming hero of the world. You slayed that fat plumber Mario, the elf like sword wielding Link and the armored suit wearing Samus Aran with nothing but a crowbar, your wit and a legion of loyal fans. It was a great day in gaming history when you beat all three of Nintendo's big guns, and stuck it to their annoying fans. All hail Gordon Freeman! I eagerly await Episode 3.

    He's cool and all -- but the best ever? I don't think so ...

    Thumb me down for voicing my opinion, but I don't think he's that amazing.

    I'm so tired of waiting for Episode Three, feeling so cheated, lost under the surface, GS had nothing new to show me

    oh joy, that glasses waring short hair loser nerd won. (THIS GUY SUCKS!)

    lol Ridiculous, a bunch of Valve/Half-Life fanboys voted the heck out of him to prevent he'd lose from an Italian plumber, which they'd be ashamed of. XD

    Awesome I was hoping he'd win. Smart and a bit of bad-ass, wicked character concept.

    History has been made, the first EXTREMELY silent hero who doesn't even have any dialog script since the first series pwned all the other heroes with some of the most dramatic catchphrases, dialogs and scripts given to them, and took the winning glory all to himself. Cheers to Dr. Gordon Freeman the Free Man.

    Catchphrase of the day: ........ *silent*

    @ alextetris
    What game are you talking about? If I remember correctly, the Orange Box contains HL2 and the following two episodes. Also, with the exception of maybe Episode 2, the Half-Life games are pretty easy to run on most modern machines.

    Anyway, hope you enjoy it when you do play it!

    I wish they would release it for the 360 maybe I'll have a nice pc by then

    I totally agree with you. I wish that everyone would think like you

    They should make a remake of the original half-life to go with ep.3 when it comes out. The original half-life with the new combat and graphix would be so nice. Half-life 2 and all its episodes have to be my favorite game collection ever. I mean there are others that are alot of fun but Hlaf-life trumps them all. So Gordon Freeman in my opinion should win the Greatest Game heroe. I wanted to make him the Winner on my bracket but some idiot was goofing around on my computer and put master chief as the winner and link as second owell.

    who ever said ep3 is going to be the last in the series?

  • XlxBryanxlX

    Posted Sep 29, 2009 3:35 pm PT

    I hate to say this but i think the devs at valve should take their time making ep3, just so it can be the most epic finale ever in gaming history. Also i hope it take more than 4 hours to complete.

    the people who made these game hero trailers are the absolute worst at showing off the characters great points

    "I'm so tired of waiting for Episode Three, feeling so cheated, lost under the surface, GS had nothing new to show me, but all I know is..."

    ...while this video was clearly not Episode Three, supporting our favorite, non-speaking, crowbar wielding hero from Black Mesa, still is important to do so, none the less.

    I like the Half-Life series, but his name may as well be doomguy considering how well developed he is.

    I seriously was hoping for something about episode 3

    I got to get started on these games if I hope to get HLE3 when it comes out.

    I got Free-Man in second spot. Just barely losing to Cloud Strife. It was a tough choice for me, but I wouldn't mind if Freeman won the whole challenge. I'm just worried that he will be outvoted by bunch of kids voting for the winner of Donkey Kong v Link. There's also a matter of beating Snake...

  • kikaazz

    Posted Sep 16, 2009 3:12 am PT

    I hope he wins! Got my vote already.

  • SoulGamerJames

    Posted Sep 16, 2009 2:31 am PT

    Just waiting for him to be announced the winner. I wish they'd stop all this show, We all know who the winner at this point is.
    Hahaha Just my opinion.

    THIS was tagged as Episode 3?!? WTF, gamespot? We all know Gordon Freeman deserves top spot as greatest hero ever...but you cant go around tagging everything with Freeman in it as E3. Why? Because i apparently just wet myself for no reason, thats why. Dammit!
