I liked the Master Chief a lot. Dunno if he's my favorite, but I do think the character is fun to play as.

My character in Saints Row 2 was also a lot of fun to play. And I enjoyed my role as the Lone Wanderer in FO3.

Mostly I like a character I can project upon. Someone with a little bit of presence, but not so much definition that I can't make him my own.

Of course if we're talking about story driven games with a clearly defined protagonist, I'll say Frank West from Dead Rising is my favorite. I mean c'mon, he covered wars you know. Chuck Green is still fun to play as, but he's no Frank West.

Kratos. Because it's only a matter of time until his badassness becomes too great to be contained in in a disk, and he breaks into the real world. And when that happens, I want to be on his good side.

Good old Jimmy. Had some good times beating up jocks with him!

I wish they'd make a sequel to Bully where he goes to college.

Holy shit ya! I was so obsessed with it I actually came up with an entire story were he is a senior and Gary is bent on revenge so he uses his new school which he took over to take revenge out on all of Bullworth and its up to Jimmy to stop him by pretending to be a transfer at the new school and take out each school group out from under him. Even came up with the new vehicles and everything lol.

The Arbiter of course. I don't think this can really be considered much of a shock by this point to hear me say this but he really is one of the most awesome, interesting and oddly sympathetic protagonists in a game to date.
I liked him. He was single handedly the best aspect of Halo 2 and the main reason I continue to love the franchise to bits.

That... that...

...actually sounds frickin awesome. I'd buy that!

I loved Bully. It was my favorite Rockstar world. So very atmospheric and strange, full of lovable characters (the art teacher.. mmmmm)

Solid Snake.

The amount of shit he goes through for everyone else and the amount of times hes used by others BUT keeps on going makes the guy a legend.

Plus he repeats everything anyone says as a question and its hilarious.

I like Felix from Golden Sun TLA best out of all the RPG games I've played as of yet.

For FPS games, gotta go with Gordan Freeman!

He has his own song now, even though he has yet to utter a single syllable. Gotta love him^^

Ok So I'm thinking Nick from L4D2 as well as Ezio and Leonardo from Assassin's Creed 2.

Spyro, as he was in Spyro The Dragon and Spryo: Gateway to Glimmer :) Smart, had an attitude... and he was purple! Never sappy about his missions at all, and just charged things head on... with his horns.

Leon Scott Kennedy for his knife-wielding skills.

Kratos for always finding a way to kill anything.

Nathan Drake for keeping a sense of humor even in the most serious situations.

The Prince for being able to climb anything and everything.

John Marston.
Also, at the end of the game, I took great satisfaction in hunting down and shooting Edgar ross 5 times in the face for what he did. But it didn't make me feel any better after. Curse you revenge, you hollow *****!
Same. I did pretty much the same thing and then rolled the body into the lake. It was satisfying.
