I like that the consoles fight each other with individual games. Sure PS3 has Twisted Metal, Uncharted series, God of War III, and Demon's Soul but Xbox360 has Halo series, Forza series, Fable series, and Mass Effect. And Wii still has all the classic Nintendo characters which frankly is all that Wii has in terms of good games.

hmm that's a tough one, I'm tied between

Agent York Morgan (Deadly Premonition)

Jackie Estacado (The Darkness)

Vito Scaletta (Mafia 2)

Albert Wesker (resident Evil 5)

turn based strategy and sports, worst game types ever
