It's Dr. Fred Edison (one d.) I actually tried most of the cast from Day of the Tentacle too.

Disappointing list. Despite some great choices, picking more than one character from FFVII is an instant credibility-killer. Problems with the list aren't your fault, though; good work making the quiz.

I really don't understand lists like these, are the characters credited with having great personalities, or simply how recognisable they are? Mario for example is legendary, but he doesn't really have a personality.

I like how only 8 answers got over 50%. A lot of these characters are fairly obscure.

But but but... the whole point of Gordon Freeman is that he behaves entirely passively, to the point that it's vague if he even wants to help anyone or if he's just shooting at people who shoot at him! He's not... Except for that, this is a pretty bad-ass list, with deserving but unexpected inclusions like Harman, Garret, and especially The Nameless One. Also accept first names please.

Why is it in inverse order? #1 should be first, seems pretty obvious. And don't hide the third column, otherwise we're just completely guessing.

great quiz idea. but the fact that i was in 99th percentile w/ 18 correct shows how off empire is with their list. missing in action: sam fisher, kirby, yoshi, crash bandicoot, sweet tooth, spyro, raiden, sora.

I thought the list was mostly decent, but no Minsc is such a huge blunder. Also Mega Man, of course, obvious omission.

Oh, the idiot spelled it "Minsk". Also, I'm almost 100% I wrote exactly "Big daddy". One more notable omission: Alis.

Yeah, it's "Minsc." Fortunately, I figured out the correct misspelling before time ran out.

Gordon Freeman the best video game character ever? Were the guys who made this list on crack?

What a joke. How is Gordon Freeman top of the list? Don't get me wrong, Half Life is incredible and redefined everything we know about Video Games but as a character he's as one dimensional as a plank of wood. To suggest he's ahead of such brilliantly crafted characters as Sephiroth, Guybrush, Snake just defies belief!

And just seen that Brucie from GTA IV is 16th on the list ahead of Samus Aran, Manny Calavera and Donkey Kong to name a few. I rest my case.

This is a really awful list. Mario is the greatest video game character ever. And Link should not be out of the top 3.

Snake at 19? No other MGS characters? HK-47 over Revan? No other BioWare characters? Big Daddy over Andrew Ryan, Fontaine, or even Cohen? Pretty bad list.

You need clues, we can't just guess randomly considering how obscure the vast majority are. Was shocked that some of the ones I was guessing were missing. By the way, I would reverse the order so that #1 is top left anf #50 is bottom right, it makes more sense.

the site that came up with this list is horrible. how do you have a minor character from gta4 (brucie) so far ahead of donkey kong who has been numerous games. the exclusion of luigi, fox mccloud, sam fisher, etc. is a joke too

^^^ Being in a lot of games, especially when most of them bar bad, does not make a good character. That's why Fox and Sam aren't on there.
