Kratos: Now this seems more like it. A half-naked man running around disembowelling people with his giant blades. How could someone so manly not be the toughest game character out there? Well, for me it's simple; in the first game, he serves as an emissary of a Greek God. In the second game, he IS a Greek God! Being a blessed servant of a deity is an unfair advantage, while being a deity unto himself just plain isn't tough. How tough do you have to be when you're immortal?
Did you actually play that game past the first level? He loses his god powers in the first 20 minutes of gameplay. From there on out, he's a mortal again. The titans may look out for him slightly, but they are imprisoned. Its all him. Plus, in the first, the gods still don't help him beyond vague hints, cause they can't actually assist someone in the death of another god.

Then there's him beating zeus when zues was holding the Blade of Olympus, thus actually beating 2 gods at once.
I did play the game through. My point is that he is/was a God at SOME point during the game. In my own opinion (irrelevant as it is) being a God, at any point in time during a game (for an extended period of time, and not as a result of a power-up) disqualifies him from being the toughest gamin character.

Kratos

Even when he's not god, he's sure one hell of a bad ass! You can never be told how tough he is as a mortal, you have to play the game all the way through to truly understand.

Heavy Weapons Guy.

I do however think he's sexually insecure after listening to most of his taunts.

Ashley J. Williams. His hand is a chainsaw, he took on the Marvel zombies and lived, he even took down Freddy AND Jason, at the same time no less.
EDIT: oh yeah he also cut his hand off in ED 2 and then went through all of that without medical attention.

Kratos - God of War devs. basically made him to be an excuse to kill every single thing in greek mythology, so he was able to kill everything including a God, and escaped Hades. Also, he isn't subtle in any way, he is portrayed as just a crazy psychotic badass, just listen to his voice, so deep and powerful.

I don't really see who else could compete. Unless Duke's balls of steel have a say in this >_>

Samus Aran. She's wiped out more alien menaces than just about every nominee combined, and single-handedly I might mention (let's see Marcus Fenix or Master Chief say that). More importantly, she blasted her way into an entirely male-dominated field. Nothing says tough like kicking the crap out of gender boundaries.

P.S: you should have name the poll "The Top Ten 'Ardest Game Characters". 'Ard denotes toughness :p
D'oh, you've mistaken "Badass" for "Hardest". -or maybe I've done that, because from what the first post implied, I thought OP meant who is the "hardest" as in "who is the grizzliest most muscular overdone 'grizzly manly man' character."

God or Not, Kratos just has to be it, he isn't subtle like the rest (Such as "I have a troubled mysterious past") but...eh, you've played God of War, I could go on and on, his love for the ladies, those amazing blades in which he kills everything so brutally with, etc.

(I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks Samus Aran is the most badass of badasses, too bad the devs turned her into barbie doll in metroid prime 3 with those huge eyelashes and makeup.)

The marine from Doom is the 'ardest game character I can think off. The dude walks into hell, shots some demons with a really big gun and then walks out.

Larry from the Leisure Suit Larry games is fairly hard... but not lets go there.

Shephard from Mass Effect. He can be the bad ass rogue character. Or she can be. Or not. Depends on how you play it.

Fuckin' right she's a badass. :) And not your usual badass-girl-in-game character. More like, a soldier. I think that's what I like about her.

Cloud - Killed Sephiroth several times.

Sephiroth - Keeps getting back up for more.
