2 cod charactes! fail!

where is shepard! sweet tooth.

and lol at your stealth edit.

Its true

I don't even know those COD characters lol. Besides # 1, this list is a crime to humanity

looks like cole and mario are fighting for no. 1 lol

sackboy was undeniable

yeah you know they felt bad for mario so they decided on the tie =p

not really. it is guiness. they are probably influenced by fox news.

Sneaky.

But I think your addition is better than most of this list.

why?

Sackboy, Snake, Kratos, and Ryu to some extent have made a huge impact. not as much as #1 but still, i'd like to know the reasonning behind you opinion?

i know it killed the cat lol.

They should've called this list "most popular games" and why the hell are characters like Naruto and Goku on the list? they're not originally video game characters. fail list.

and lol @ edit
