I don't recognize 3 of the characters in that list.

I can't even begin to fathom why Scorpion of Mortal Kombat is up there but not Ryu of Street Fighter considering Mortal Kombat basically died in popularity while Street Fighter stuck around. Hell, Street Fighter had more of an impact on video games than Uncharted and System Shock put together.

I also want a freaking L block. Seriously, Tetris has sold more copies and has had a bigger impact on gaming than half that list. Just about everyone has played Tetris at one point, young and old. Even non-gamers recognize Tetris because it's Tetris yet Drake of Uncharted is somehow more deserving of a slot on the list than a representative of one of the most iconic games in history?

I'll vote Master Chief but this is a very shitty list.

You need some glasses me thinks.

Oh I see.  One of the characters I didn't recognize is a really close-up picture of Ryu's face.  I had to google Ryu to see the full picture before I realized that's who it was.

Quiet you.  I just hadn't seen that picture and it's not like videogames have any shortage of anime-ish looking brown-haired people.

Why is it a hard choice?



Because he might like both? This about your "favorite" character ...

So it's not about who's the bigger gaming icon, but just picking a favorite?



Yup, they're all gaming Icons. This isn't to find the biggest Icon of all time, obviously that would go to Mario ..
