hmm... some favorites include niko belic (GTAIV), tommy vercetti (GTA vice city), sean devlin (the saboteur), link (legend of zelda), nathan drake (uncharted), kratos (god of war), solid snake (metal gear solid), john marston (red dead redemption), and ezio auditoire (assassin's creed)...

but my favorite would have to be conker, from conker's bad fur day...

John Marston

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

These two are definitely my favourites, they were so awesome and their stories were fantastic, it seemed as if they were real people sometimes.

Other games I play are games where you create your own character, so...

It's a tie between Nightmare and Taki from Soul Calibur III. SPECIFICALLY Soul Calibur III (Nightmare looks like shit in IV & V, II is acceptable) I guess I'll just go with Taki. Shes slighty more bad ass... and hot...

Ezio Auditore started off in Assasin's Creed 2 as a Spoiled Brat and by the end of the game he graduated to a Giant Douchbag. The following games in the series he wasn't much better, they just replaced his dumbass/ arrogant personality with an even more boring one. I will Remember his AC games for the story and the great gameplay, but not for his character. Thank god AC3 has a new main character.

Solid Snake always reminded me of Snake Plisken. He's the Ultimate Cool-as-a-Cucumber Badass.

Tommy Vercetti was a stereotype, of a sterotype, of a mafioso gangsta. Boring, and nothing new or original, I would say his personality was like his appearance flashy on the outside/ dull and lifeless on the inside. Not the highlight of Vice City.

CJ was a young black gangsta stereotype, but at least he was a bit more original than Tommy. He was the first playable black protaganist in a GTA game, and a major reason not to like San Andreas for many uptight closet-racist gamers. That just gave me another reason to like it, and to be impressed with Rockstar for trying different things. Things that might be unpopular with a mass audience. Rap is not very popular in society, at least not proper rap. And this game helped spark a bit more interest in it.

John Marston was an interesting character, even if they tried too hard to make him into a likeable average joe, who just happens to be an expert marksman, and a mass murdering gunslinger ( kind of the same thing with Nathan Drake ). For once I would like them to make a truly unlikeable anti-hero.

Niko was an almost perfect character. Truly original ( haven't seen anything like him in other games ), he was not perfect ( far from it ), and very human in the mistakes he had made in his past. He was likeable and un-likeable at the same time, and had an interesting personality and backstory to boot. If Rockstar can continue to make characters that are as original as he was, I will be very happy. Can't wait to see what they come up with :D
