All Time Greatest Game Heroes!

All-Time Greatest Game Hero (ATG) is GameSpot's new interactive editorial feature that gives you the opportunity to determine, once and for all, who the greatest video game hero is. You will also have a chance to manage your own brackets based own votes and win prizes. If you have participated in CBSSports' March Madness, you'll know exactly what we're getting at.

GameSpot staff had our own gruesome debate to consider the heroes to include. We defined 54 game heroes that must make it to the competition brackets. However, we couldn't decide who should make it out of the next 24 game heroes and we need your help to get them down to 10, to create a 64 game hero competition. So, vote for your favorite of the 24 game heroes you believe need to make it to the competition bracket today!

The voting process begins today and will end on August 25th 2009. Emblems will be handed out to voters.

UPDATE Apologies, the voting bracket begins on the 25th. The 24 entrants ended this morning.
