He's a villain?Ace of Spades said:
I never finished HL1 or 2 so i wouldn't know
But mine has to be Jackie and the Darkness from The Darkness
I love that guy. To keep this thread from being list like, I'm actually teaching a series on game character design for high school kids in a couple weeks, I'm writing the text for it right now, hopefully to build appreciation for good game characters as opposed to central characters from high budget games. (which seems to be the primary favorites on this thread)Glerken said:

Serious Sam because the game is hilariously un-serious
The drug dealers from saints row
Marcus Fenix with his "Well we're not here to sell cookies" line.
And Niko Bellic because he's just cool

You are totally missing out. The G-man is an awesome villain. He is the insane omnipotent guy who pulls the strings behind every event in the Half Life series.Alias_Raz0r said:

Link, hands down. No matter what game I'm playing, I always enjoy running around as a mute elf in green tights. There's never a point where he's arrogant or otherwise unlikable. He may seem a bit hapless, depending on which game you're playing, but that only makes him more likable. Link has been my favorite character ever since I got into video games, and that's not gonna change anytime soon, if ever.
Honorable mentions go to:
Midna - Possibly Nintendo's best character in a long time. She originally began as one of my least favorite characters in gaming, but how she changes in Twilight Princess is one of the best things to happen in video gaming. That, and she has a wit as sharp as House's, and an even sharper incisor. What's not to love about that?
Travis Touchdown - It's funny how a character with an almost completely different personality than me is one of my favorite characters. An arrogant, nerdy hipster with a kickass motorcycle and a lightsaber knockoff who's in an assassin league. I immediately grew attached to Travis when he asked Sylvia the big question: "If I become number one, will you do it with me?"
Gordon Freeman - Not one of my favorite game series, but still one of my favorite characters. Once again, another mute character in gaming, but still one who remains likable. The decent acting and the storyline really help to place you in this scientist's boots. That, and he has a gun that defies the laws of physics. Pretty cool.
