What a joke!

Well, this is the first time I've looked at Gamespot in 2 years, so I guess they suckered me into looking. I find it interesting that so many PS3 fans would vote for Freeman (a Valve property)... so much short sightedness. Not to mention that the winning character will be primarily a PC character.

How Freeman beat LINK is beyond me. Yay for internet polls.

Valve held/ are holding a campaign for Gordon to win on Steam.

Anyone who played Half Life, will probably vote Gordon.

Nintendo doesn't always have to win everything.

Hmm, interesting. I would think that anyone who played SMW, SMB, SMBIII, SM64, or SMG, would vote for Mario....

I mean, Half Life if great and one of the best games of all time, but it's not much better than anyone of those, if at all.....I mean, hell.

I have played them all, still Freeman. Mario is great and all, but ;et's face it, he jumps on enemies and maybe flies around. The best contender for Freeman would have been Solid Snake, except that MGS4 was 10 hours of crappy movie while Freeman's entire personality is based on whaat YOU make it out to be, by showing not telling. Then again he's against an inter-galactic, inter-dimensional, congolmarate of aliens that consume everything, and still manages to win, crowbar in hand.

If you had to compare how they were written, as if they were novels, Freeman beats out MANY characters, and link comes close to him, except that he does the same thing over and over and over and over. Point being, go go Freeman and games should follow Valve's way of exposition and story telling, not Kojima's ( I could have watched ANY trilogy of great movies in the time their cutscenes ended).
