Greatness
Gamespot’s had another of those "best hero ever" vote-a-thons. The Gamespot readership roughed up my expectations and actually didn’t hand the thing to Cloud McAngst this time; he was out in the third round (to the dude from God of War?), making me wonder if the bloom is finally off the massively-overrated rose.
I will confess, however, that the winner was a pretty big surprise to me. I expected the usual final round matchup of Mario and Cloud, but… Gordon Freeman? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like the Half-Life games pretty well, but Gordon is basically a non-character. He’s created that way intentionally — no personality, never speaks, nothing. He just has tightly trimmed facial hair and nerd glasses. Well, and the space marine power armour and stuff.
Now, if it had been Dog, well, that I could get behind. Dog rules.
