Yeah, you spit on the Chief's grave...heh, heh! Nice.
I thought THE MASTER CHIEF was an ordinary, pretentious super-suck. Can you think of other super-soldier or super-warrior type characters surrounded by fancy-schmancy, war-budget visuals and plotlines that are feeble and immature force-fed around orchestral, alternative dribble? The answer: I believe in you, members of the Escapist community.
While we're on the topic of characters that should be on this list, what about Samus Aran, or Solid Snake, or hell, how about Ryu from Street Fighter? I'm guessing this list balances current waves of nostalgia (Link, Mario, Pikachu) with new-age characters (Gordon Freeman, Niko Bellic) and others (Fontaine, Sgt. Cortez). I like this list, nonetheless, and am ready for my shot in round three.
