So in honor of their awesomeness here are my top 5 bad ass game characters.
5. Dante
Don't dismiss Dante for his stupid hair cut and questionable apparel. This man gets stabbed, shot and impaled on a regular basis and his only concern is looking cool while kicking butt. The 'Devil May Cry' games are full of bosses that probably have had dumps bigger than Dante but he still brings them down armed only with his wit. Oh and the arsenal of weapons he keeps stashed in that stupid coat of his.
4. Max Payne
If Max Payne was any grittier you could spread him on your driveway. Ok that probably doesn't sound right but the man is really cool from his comic panel dialogs to his bullet time dives this man is definitely not to be messed with.
3. Travis Touch Down
OK so he is a bit of a geek with his anime obsession and he's not exactly a winner with the ladies but how can you fault a guy with a light saber? Especially when he gets to cruise around town on his rocket powered bike assassinating members of a shady pizza company.
2. Tommy Vercetti
Forget that luke warm affair that was the 'Scarface' game. If you really want to know what its like to be Tony Montana then play Grand Theft Auto Vice City. Tommy is every bit the replica of Tony from his chainsaw wielding antics to his questionable taste in shirts. This man has cojones!
1. Duke Nukem
Yeah yeah its cliche, its predictable, I know he hasn't been in a game for 10 years but when it comes to kicking ass and chewing bubble gum there is only one guy for the job. With one liners that feel like Bruce Campbell himself wrote them and a penchant for the ladies Duke is truly the king of cool.
Hopefully Grayson Hunt will soon be topping that list because I think the Duke-ster is starting to get on a bit...
