Well, ready for some debating. I want to know your guys opinion on who is the most fleshed out, coolest, and most entertaining character in videogame history. From the old school 80's to the 2009.

I vote for either Andrew Ryan (Bioshock), for being such a three dimensional, character and I felt bad for his dream failing and him being a fallen hero. Nathan Drake for acting like an actual person, I felt like he acted like a regular guy, instead of a silent killer. And, call me crazy, Freeman from Half-Life cause even though he never said anything, I still felt like I was him. My personality was him, instead of him already having one

Its gotta be Snake. He's a man who just does whats needs to be done. He doesn't want to be called a hero cause he's just doing his job. No second thoughts he just gets things done.

Offhand estimate here, but I think the ratio of Solid Snake to every other character in this thread will be roughly 6:1. You did ask this on the PS3 forum, after all.

Very, very, true. As awesome as Snake is, I just can't say he's a better character than Mario.

1. James Sunderland, I've never felt more pity and anger towards a Video game character then after I played Silent Hill 2 2. H.U.N.K. Aka Mr. Death , He's mysterious, always the one who survives and highly effective in achieving his goals. That combined makes him rather intriguing for me. 3. Marine Aka Doom Guy, How many can honestly take up a double barrelled shotgun, fight their way through hell with it, plug a few rounds into high demons and come out grinning like a mad man only to fight them off the planet earth afterwards single handedly? So far, Only one.

I'll just say Ps3 wise. Nathan Drake of Uncharted is a really cool and funny dude. Glad he will be back for second's.

I actually laughed out loud a couple times in Uncharted, so I'm gonna go with Nathan Drake just b/c he felt so real. Besides the fact that he could jump 15 feet across obstacles and kill hundreds of people.

Wow, that's a good one. James was definately an intriguing character who was supported by an awesomely twisted story. I actually didn't realise how deep his characterisation went until I read a plot analysis for SH2.

But for best game character of all time? I'll have to predictably vote for Snake. He's like the anti-Bond. He's a total ladies man, but he doesn't wanna sleep with any of them. Too cool.

Asking this on the PS3 forums only assures that 50% of the answers will be a combination of Snake and Kratos. Though in my opinion Samus is way more badass than the both of them, and the greatest chracter or all time is Link an easy going good guy but is not above impaling someone through the top of their head when they get out of line. I appreciate that more than the I'm pissed off all the time attitude of Kratos, hell even Marcus Fenix isn't always juiced up on testosterone. Even if he sounds like it. Rounding out the top 5 in no particular order is Mario, Samus, The Prince (Sands of Time series) Travis Touchdown, Captain Price.
