Ok so gamespot is doing a poll on who's the "all time greatest video game hero".

and so far Its Gordon VS. Link and Mario vs Samus!

So far Gorden is tied with Link.

Fellow Half-Life Lovers go on THIS link and support our hero Gordon, if he loses to the likes of Link and Mario than what is left in this world maybe Link or Mario will be in HL3.

Oh god no...

Because Gamespot is more hindered towards Console gamers and not PC gamers.

Hmm i starting to think the Poll is rigged as its been sitting at 49.9% for gordon since beofore you guys voted!!, when i voted it went up 1 whole %

Look at how many people are voting though. It takes a few people to make 1% go up.

No WAI, Freeman is a better character than Mario, the character development is unique its told through the eyes of other characters how many other game have done that successfully.
Freeman is a mysterious badass scientist whats not to like?

Mario is just oh fat plumber from Brooklyn who rescues his biatch in platforming style levels. What makes him or Link or any Nintendo character better as a character than Gordon? Mario character development is stagnant.

Its not about who has the most nostalgic memories or who had the better game.

I friggin hate that pussy link oh good games but a bunch of annoying fanboys.

DUKE SHOULD NEVER LOSE TO ANYONE never let up who he did lose too, if it was Freeman he was against it should be 50%/50%

EDIT: come on Freeman beat Snake so your telling me that LINK is cooler than Snake? GTFO here!
Man you have to use facebook so i cant vote, im not making a facebook just to make a vote id never use it again.
Yoshi beat Lui Kang LOL
