years if you didn’t see a character you
thought should be here make sure you

Jodie Holmes beyond 2 souls beyond 2
souls is evidence that video games have
become as filmic as ever with cinematic
cutscenes and big-name actor starring I
was born with a strange gift our leading
lady here is Ellen Page in a powerful
performance as Jodie Holmes a young
woman with one heck of an invisible
friend as surreal as the game gets
Jodi’s strength sympathy and humanity
gives the experience genuine spirit pun
intended
thanks by the time the player learns the
secrets behind Jodi’s unusual gift there

to hers
number nine Freddy fazbear five nights
at Freddy’s series say what you want
about these games there’s no denying
that Freddy’s been prolific these days
Freddy fazbear is one of those
animatronics from Chucky Cheese or
Showbiz Pizza only a million times more
terrifying this demented brown bear is
every child and every security guards
worst nightmare coming to life with his
fellow Splash Mountain rejects when the
lights at the pizza parlor go out Freddy
has exploded into popularity so rapidly
that he’s already been the focus of
multiple sequels and let’s play videos
something of the ultimate screamer
you wouldn’t want Freddy jumping out at
you in the middle of the night number 8
John Marston Red Dead Redemption just
got to learn to shoot straighter you get
yourself eaten by some anime funny Paul
thank you so this outlaw is torn between
the good the bad and the ugly when the
FBI forces him to take out his former
Wild Bunch in exchange for his family
safety
I don’t capture my former brother in
arms great harm will befall my friend
John Marston desires nothing more than
to leave his life of crime behind but
that’s unfortunately not in the cards
just yet so calm down and play along
with us his road to redemption can often
feel like a road to perdition all while
committing murder and grand theft
stagecoach overall Marston emerges as
one of the most complex anti heroes of
this medium challenging whether the ends
justify the means and looking like a
total boss in the process number 7
Bayonetta Bayonetta series
arriving in the US and Europe right
after the start of this decade bayonet
is reminiscent of a character out of
Zack Snyder’s sucker punch only you know
fun funny and complete with a refreshing
personality it took the words right out
of my mouth
at first this shape-shifting which might
seem like a bit of a fanservice sex God
but Bayonetta unexpectedly sneaks up on
the player as a character you have tired
you in with a very complicated backstory
and empathetic connections towards those
closest to her
Bayonetta becomes incredibly appealing
on both the outside and the inside now
that you mentioned throughout her
over-the-top adventures you can count on
her being witty flexible and able to get
out of any scuffle with a cheeky grin
well not very romantic number 6 claptrap
borderlands series sorry I’m gonna take
this car to me while the borderlands
games are full of wisecracking
characters like handsome Jack the one
that will likely stick with you the most
is this general-purpose robot there’s no
stopping us now minion together we chef
breathe Pandora the rapid talking
claptrap never shuts up but that’s
acceptable because he’s constantly
stealing the franchise’s best wines now
that your DNA is registered you have the
best a terrific death and dismemberment
insurance due to his programming
claptrap usually comes off his chipper
excited and optimistic even when he’s
extremely depressed yeah I totally just
got fired he’s larger than life presence
leaves you wanting even more which is
why claptrap got upgraded to playable
character in Borderlands the pre-sequel
and is the star of his own web series
you come back to full reverse tomorrow
night nonfat mocha berry cynic Oh number
5 Elizabeth
BioShock Infinite yuria real enough it
would have been easy for the developers
of BioShock Infinite to make Elizabeth
into another annoying escort mission or
an AI companion instead they created one
of the most intriguing and likeable
female characters ever
wash away the things that you’ve done
you go cooped up like a caged bird for
years Elizabeth is wide-eyed and curious
but also intelligent resourceful and
always around to throw you a little
extra ammo leave a lot hurt give me a
second she quickly becomes the driving
force that gets the player through the
game resulting in a mind-blowing
conclusion where they learned this
mysterious woman is capable of more than
two ever imagined plus she gets a super
happy ending at the end of the expansion
burial at sea
number four Clementine Telltale’s The
Walking Dead series I want my parents to
come home now okay we’re just gonna go
out and say it
the characters in Telltale’s The Walking
Dead are way better than the ones on the
TV show yeah come at me bro
you’re smarter than all of them the most
captivating character of them all is
Clementine a little girl that season one
protagonist Lee Everett swears to
protect let’s go stay close to me
in season two Clementine takes center
stage and grows up right before our eyes
although The Walking Dead gets more
tragic and shocking with each passing
episode clementines will to survive
keeps us going strong smart and caring
she’s one of the most believable child
characters in fiction Shh
number three Voss Montenegro far cry 3
hello and welcome to my show the gaming
industry has given us a number of
memorable villains but few are as
legitimately spine-tingling as boss
Montenegro from far cry 3
I’m sorry what did you say hmm what did
you say do you want me to slice you up
and like I did your friend why because
he feels like a person that could exist
in the real world and thanks to Michael
mando he technically does Chris say uh
no to the internet people’s holding our
heroes captive everything about this
madman from his body language to his
definition of insanity speech to his
unpredictable tendencies rings true to a
genuine psychopath did I ever tell you
the definition of insanity each word
that emanates from his mouth chills the
player to the bone that is crazy
number two Trevor Phillips Grand Theft
Auto 5 oh I love you obscene immoral and
with a surprisingly large vocabulary
Trevor Phillips leaves behind a trail of
carnage wherever he goes what was that
well what was that ah that’s exactly why
he’s such a perfect fit for the Grand
Theft Auto universe though this criminal
is the human incarnation of a car wreck
he may be hard to watch but you simply
can’t look away as Trevor beats tortures
and kills people in a fit of anarchy
he doesn’t care what others think of him
and that’s actually kind of refreshing
being bad never felt so good with Trevor
in the driver’s seat
you better trade alright then I will let
me go before we reveal our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions the world
is different now the old rules no longer
apply
your flashlight or him
the people of bionis will never let you
triumph number one Joel and Ellie the
Last of Us Ellie that ain’t for kids
whoa Joel a surly survivor seeking
redemption and Ellie a fourteen-year-old
possessing the answers to mankind’s
future are such authentic individuals
that they practically feel like flesh
and blood I get in trouble down there
you make every shot count the action
set-pieces in the last of us aren’t
afterthought compared to the quieter
moments when these two simply connect as
human beings when enemies do attack
however we’re 100% committed to making
sure that the people we’ve grown to love
will endure don’t tell me that I would
be safer with someone else because the
truth is I would just be more scared the
relationship Joel and Ellie develop is a
