Gordon Freeman is the greatest video game character ever…….at least that’s what Empire thinks as they have just published their list of 50 Greatest Video Game characters. Mr. Freeman takes the plaudits away from ‘best character’ stalwarts like Mario, Link and Sonic in a poll that is sure to get you all talking and debating.

Mario finished 2nd, System Shock’s Shodan 3rd, Planetscape: Torment’s Nameless One in 4th and Lara Croft in 5th.

The top ten is completed by Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII), Lemmings (Lemmings), Master Chief (Halo), Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island) and Link (The Legend of Zelda).

Solid Snake came in 19th (He should have been in the top 5 IMO)

Read the whole list here. Congrats to Gordon. I’d ask him to say a few words about his win, but as you know, he’s not exactly the talkative or loquacious type.
