As for Uncharted, I'd put Eddy Raja and even Elena before Nathan.

FAIL for picking the wrong character

Suchong was an awesome character as well, especially with regards to
his demise.
But Cohen struck me as much more of a developed character, plus his
grand appearance was fucking spectacular, as was all of Fort Frolic, and the dancers sequence in his apartment and upstairs quarters.
I would be more than happy to throw my vote to GLaDOS.
I just would like to mention the worst character, any of the ones from Lost Planet. I love that game, but damn if it lacked complete heart. A guy and his dad are separated (one killed possibly, I forget), and I could care less about any of them. Also there was a white dude with dreads as part of the crew.

Agreed. The new definition of 'badass'.
Have to agree with Gann. His dialogue was bloody awesome. But I don't agree with Kaelyn. I played through in a greyish manner and she got on my nerves. Actually, I'm looking back at it now and wondering whether that was supposed to be what she was made for. If so, agreed. If not, disagree. :lol

having just beat Uncharted, I'm not surprised at all. Great character.
After seeing Will Smith in I Am Legend and Heath Ledger as the Joker it puts some stuff in perspective (though when it comes to movies I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton that wasn't recent).
There is no doubt though that Nariko & Kay in Heavenly Sword are the most realistic game characters ever made.
However, when it comes to story ark and such..etc this year... it's been somewhat lacking. Many games focus on your actions instead of building specific characters.
I loved the Aperture Science A.I in P0rtal.
Nathan Drake & Elena Fischer are very likable.
Nariko & Kay (and most of the HS cast) is incredibly well done ecspecially from a videogame perspective.
BioShock... the game itself is oozing character, it has a ton of interesting characters and a smart plot but you never get to see a larger ark for someone specific (except your own face/emotions I guess).

Thread should be about the best and the worst.
But yeah:
Also, the USA DQM:J commercial version of Tap Devil!!!

Spoiler, but she deserves a big pic. Those who don't know her won't recognize anyway. And it's not like the memes haven't spoiled the entire game for everyone already.

+1 for massive damage.Dante said:
I thought Drake was the most well-realized character in a game this year. He cracks one-liners that are funny (imo), and they are timed very well too. Also, great way of conveying emotions using somewhat exaggerated facial expressions.
The worst character has to be Sgt. Griggs in Call Of Duty 4. Great game, but probably the worst stereotype I've seen in a game all year.

Thank God he gets owned by the end.
