duke definately had more personality... mind you he stole all his best lines from my favorite movies... so i guess that is why i liked him ;)

 

personally i liked Garrett form theif

oh, and Groove Champion and Taurus from Interstate 76

the guy in Tachyon the fringe was cool too... but then he was voiced by Bruce Campbell... :D

 

how does mullins even get a mention in this list?????

 

His name's John, but everyone calls him 'Jarn'. It's all "don't go in there, Jarn", and "watch your back, Jarn".

Jarn is a vietnam vet, a firearms expert, an experienced mercenary, and easilly the most laughable ***** ever to have stepped foot inside a computer game since the eponymous star of the excrecable Leisure Suit Larry games reared his wormy little head before a disinterested world.

 

Yes, Jarn 'Soldier of Fortune' Mullins is an absolute dingleberry. A **** of the highest order. He looks just like celebrity chef (and sunday morning godslot presenter) Kevin Woodford, so it's hard to take him seriously (and even harder to resist the urge to somehow twist the un round and watch him blow his own head off). He's also totally lacking a sense of humour. This man takes himself more seriously than Goebbels.....

Max Payne baby! Although the game is kinda repetitive now and I don't go back to playing it, it was still a fun and overwhelming experience. He had it all, and lost it all. :D He can do Chow Yun Fat impersonations and dodge bullets and shoot up baddies at the same time! He has my vote.

 

A close second would probably be Gordon Freeman.

sorry stormy :(

 

the review doesn't make much sense without the important words though... nothing you wouldn't hear in the playground from the age of about 5 ;)

 

oh well.... i guess i wouldn't want anyone else corrupted by the internet the way i have been ;)

I voted for Duke. Not that I morally support the guy or anything, but definitely he screams action hero in a very AHnold and Stallone kind of way. But I guess that makes Duke only my favorite Cheesy 80's action hero of computer games. :p

Kyle - for me - has the most developed character, and I feel the most empathy for him as a character (especially given these are FPS), however it is hard to ignore BJ Blaskowicz and Duke Nukem ... I have lots of history with them as well. Mullins I just play, don't really care about him, same with the Doom guy, and many others ... and whoever I just was in MoH ... liked the game, didn't care about the characters. I did like Ensign Monroe from Elite Force, but he wasn't really developed, either.

Toms posted this quote.....

and John Nada.

"I have come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

 

I believe that actually came from "Dazed and Confused" where that guy said "I came here to do two things, drink some beer and kick some ass, and we're almost out of beer"
