Mine is Kratos and Caleb from Blood

 

[Audemas]

Mine would have to be Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil Series or the G-Man from the Half-Life series.

I fear you have mis-understood the phrase Anti-Hero.

Mine is 'whats his name' from Resistance.

What do you mean misunderstood ??

 

[Bob Saget]

I'd have to say the G-Man from HL1 and HL2, because he's so mysterious and he's just so cool. I also like

Spoiler

Atlas from Bioshock, you think he's your friend up until the last bits of the game.

Seriously people. Anti-hero is not some new age idiom that means villain.

See: reluctant hero.

 

[-Seraph-]

Magus From Chrono Trigger.

 

[DevilSaint44]

Anti-Heroes are protagonists in the games not villains like Atlas/Fontaine

I just posted "Planescape Torment" in "Best games that didn´t get a sequel" and here we go, my favourite anti-hero is of course The Nameless One. Bonus points for that badass Manhunt guy.

I liked Nico Belic, just because all the way through the story you could picture his internal monologue constantly saying "ohh not this shit again!" at the start of pretty much every mission.

Eh, that's close enough to an anti-hero since it describes how most anti-heroes get thrown into the mix and not what an anti-hero is. However, it's not very accurate. Under your definition Gordon Freeman would be an anti-hero when he really isn't.

Anti-heroes are usually heroes that don't have a heroic nature. For example, Batman is an anti-hero because he isn't a typical hero. He's dark and moody. Wolverine is similar to this. As is Deadpool.

Caleb from Blood is my favorite.

 

[unholy vagrant]

Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series.

Yeah. An anti-hero is a type of protagonist that cares only for his own problems.

KRATOS! he gives a new definition to bad-ass.

 

[Erana]

Spawn.
Of all the characters in gaming, no other character has quite earned the term "anti-hero" quite as much as him. Honorable mention to Kratos, but it isn't quite the same when you are tought that human sacrifice is OK, and there's no sence of divine judgement. The gods in GOW better follow the rule of, "Thou shalt Kill."

 

[MalevolentJim]

Spawn and the Punisher.they were originally comic characters i know.But they are awsome anyway.

 

[kingofwolves]

Urdnot Wrex from Mass Effect. 1 part Battletoad, 1 part Han Solo, I part WMD. Seems pretty good to me.

But they do have their games. They count. They Count, I say! >=O
