Just because a character is repeated constantly throughout a large number of games doesn't necessarily make him the "Greatest Video Game Hero of All Time". While I agree Mario is certainly worthy of a Top 5 position on such a list, I don't think he is much of a hero. Simply jumping up and down is child's play in today's gaming world.
In my opinion, Link from The Legend of Zelda or Gordan Freeman of the Half-Life series would be the top two contenders. |
