And unfortunately, magic does not exist. tcah, such a shame, no?
And if there were not as many half life fans as there are link, why would Gordon Freeman be winning?
GORDON FREEMAN is not just a man, whose name starts with a big letter, it's a CAPS-MAN!
Why Gordon Freeman is the best hero ever:
He never talks.
He uses a crowbar.
He doesn't need bullettime and special pick-ups.
He can easily go through interdimensional portals.
He doesn't care about brain implants.
He doesn't need skills.
He doesn't need upgrades.
Gordon Freeman is the only man, who can't be eaten by a headcrab.

Seems a bit troll-like with the Link bashing and Nintendo fan base bashing. But I would vote for Link personally.
The HEV is hardly a Gears of War or Crysis suit, is it?BillNyeTheColonelGuy said:
Magic doesn't exist, but neither do extra-dimensional oppressive forces that can take a planet in minutes but can't handle a bearded scientist with a crowbar and gravity gun
Oh, and the numbers-I don't think Gamespot is a show of a fanbase, and neither is the fact that nearly every level of the competition has been proxied to death.
I think the sales make more sense to go by.
Wow I am really surprised samus made it to the finals, and the Sam Fisher didn't. My vote would go to mario, because I really enjoyed the paper mario game for gamecube.
Gordon Freeman, easily; everyone in HL2 seems to think so... "Wow! It's gordon freeman!" "Okay gordon" "sorry dr. freeman" "EVERYONE FOLLOW FREEMAN" "hey guys, it's gordon freeman!"
I've always loved LOZ games but link doesn't really have anything on freeman

1) How can you prove so? It has been scientifically proven that other universes exist beyond our own, there's nothing to prove it is impossible that there are extra-terrestrial species in said universes; hell, it's incredibly likely they exist in THIS universe. It is by no means impossible for said extra-terrestrials to slip through somehow. This has nothing to do with dimensions. Can they manipulate time and space with their own free will? No. Thus they are restricted to the same old three (and an arguable half, as we move forwards in time) dimensions that we are in.Joshimodo said:Magic doesn't exist, but neither do extra-dimensional oppressive forces that can take a planet in minutes but can't handle a bearded scientist with a crowbar and gravity gun

Same point for the Gravity Gun, just because you don't see one sitting on the kitchen table doesn't mean they're impossible.
2) It was in hours (Seven hours), and besides, Gordon Freeman does not single handedly destroy the entire combine army. Just because you deal the ending blow to the combine (For the time period of the game, at least), doesn't mean that you alone defeated them. If you paid attention you would realise that without the aid of the assisting human forces, you would barely have survived the first couple of screens without being caught, arrested, and either killed or shipped off to Nova prospekt to be "De-humanised". It is this very fact which brings the idea of a true "Hero", a leader and icon of morality which spurs people on to fight back on the forces of evil. Sure, link may blast in and obliterate all evil in seconds, but is someone who charges in and simply annihilate evil within seconds REALLY a hero? No, they're a warrior. A destroyer of destroyers, and nothing more.
I sound like such a moralist.
