There's some interesting inclusions on this list that I've never seen before on list like this, so I'll give them a little credit. But overall this is a bad list. Still, read it and laugh.
The one they call Free-man eh? Dude doesn't talk and you never get to see him in the game. When you look down he doesn't even have feet. So they give #1 chr to a camera.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile

Yeah, the layout for the list is beyond retarded. I wonder if they get a new hit for each click on the next number.
I wanted to read it but you have to click through 50 individual pages.
Is viewtiful joe on the list?
robio said:Joe is not on the list.
Travis Touchdown?

Big Daddy.
I propose we make a list of game characters. Not by quality, by quantity. List them all out. Then generate a randomly selected list of 50 and compare.

But isn't that what they did? 
Who came up with this crap.
http://www.empireonline.com/features/50-greatest-video-game-characters/default.asp?film=50
This was the link in today's news for the Top 50 game characters. No top 50 list will ever make anyone happy, but I figured I'd look and give my impressions along the way. I just commented periodically when I saw a character that piqued my interested on the list, and then commented on all Top 10 Characters. Ultimately I think this list sucked and a blind monkey who never played a videogame could have done a better job, but that's just me. So anyway here we go. . .
Yay! Dirk the Daring got props at #49 ! Booyah!
The best male hair videogames have ever seen checks in at 44. Congratulations Mr. Leon Kennedy.
Sam & Max at 42, good choice.
Pyramid Head at 41?? Really??
Dante is an unfortunate inclusion, though completely expected. I wouldn't have bitched if he was #50, but #38 is too high.
Miner Willy at 32?? Who? Never heard of him. I guess you UK folk really must like him.
Look! Steel made the list. . . oh wait that's Manny Calavera. I hardly think that's my mistake though. Congrats at coming in at #30 Steel.
Alice is a fairly ridiculous choice to be on this list. Particularly in the top 20.
Sonic at 14... yeah... not anymore.
Sephiroth at 10?? Why the hell?? He never even had a personality up until Core Crisis. I don't think I've ever been more confused how a character became popular for have not any real personality traits.
Lemmings at 9 - sweet.
Master Chief at 8? I never played Halo so I can't comment, so I'll leave you guys to bitch about that.
Guybrush Threepwood at 7. Brilliant choice!! Easily one of the best PC characters ever.
Link at 6? Meh.
Lara Croft at 5? Really? Why? For having boobs... well I suppose that's sort of fair. That's how it works in the real world. A great rack will get you far in life even if there's no other redeeming qualities, though still not all the way to the top.
Nameless One? Hmmmm he looks cool, but I never played the game.
Again I have no clue who Shodan is.
Mario only at 2? Got to admit I'm surprised by that. I though he'd get number one just out of fear of reprisal from Nintendo.
Gordon Freeman? Well shit if I knew they were going to go with him for number one I wouldn't have even bothered reading this list. Nevermind I quit.
