Which character in 2009 do you think is the best one?

I like roxas/xion/axel. they are great together. and are as close as anyone has gotten to deep meaningful dialogue, voice-actorless as it is.

Why is Batman on the list ??

not like Arkham Asylum was his First game.

I'd have to go with Marcus Felix and the rest of Delta Squad in GoW2. I know that the game came out in late 2008, but I still think their character development trumps that of those you listed.

SPoooneeeehhhhhh i love you so much your such a douche.

For picking a 2008 game? or picking Delta Squad? I can't help but love them as characters, they all have there own personalities, all be them one dimensional.

Baird - The cynic
Cole - ... The cole-train?
Dom - The guy who's looking for his wife.
Marcus - The guy with father issues.

They're just brilliant characters.

I'm surprised there isn't like seven RE characters on the list.

Resident Evil's only decent character = Luis Sera. Simply for the ballistics joke.

I'm teetering between Riggs and Ezio. If neither, I'd just have to suck it up and say Batman, comic book character or not.

I'm only surprised that Chris is there instead of Wesker.

TBH i havent been very impressed by video game characters this year.

Alex Mercer (Prototype) or Cole MacGrath (InFamous)

Ezio just edges out Eddie Riggs for me. I don't count Batman as all his character comes from other sources.

Batman really should not be on this list at all. He's not a video game character.

Anyway, Ezio, obviously.

I voted Batman because he's still even more awesomer than all of those people.

Nevermind. My bad.

No duncan from DAO?

Which is why I'm thinking of making 2009 Antagonist of the Year

King Bill from Super Mario Bros. Wii for being one of the biggest pains in the ass enemies of any side scroller.

^This.

I'm gonna be a Sucker Punch fanboy and say Cole McGrath because he felt like such a real person to me. I think that's a real accomplishment considering the game is about him gaining Super Powers.

Since the moderators ain't editing the poll like I asked them to, I hope you read this post because I'm telling you now to ignore the poll and just say what character in 2009 you think is the best even if those characters aren't in the poll.

I can't believe I forgot Cole and Alex.

Batman (even if he's not new, or not strictly games) in Arkham Asylum was awesome.

Alastair and Morrigan, and most of the Dragon Age cast were great imo.

Chris and Drake weren't bad.

Meh, i'd probably go with Morrigan, i guess.

None of those characters were very good I don't think, aside from Batman, who was clearly above all of them.

Though if we're strictly limited to characters created for video games, then I'm going to go with Captain Price from Modern Warfare 2.

Look, we're not here to take a red pen to your mistakes and fix them, okay?

Nor are we around constantly. You forget we're both full-time college students that work.

You're a college student? For some reason, I thought you were in your thirties.

Not even close...and my birthdate is in my profile.

You're still in college? Post-grad right?

Man! did Street Fighter IV really bomb with their new characters or something? No one (aside from me) remembers them in this thread.

Still Batman.

Actually, Rufus in SF4 is amazing. Better than Batman even.

But I still want to give it to Cole McGrath.

Cole for me or Ezio.

Mercer while being a top tier protogangist was a boring one in himself.

Viper is cool as ****.

Yeah Alex Mercer was pretty disappointing.

Not really impressed with the majority of characters this year

If we take into account the PAL region release of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, then I vote for Shanoa Belmont

Captain Price from Modern Warfare 2
Cole from inFamous

Batman met my expectations and was the least interesting person in his own game, as he nearly always is.

Out of the ones listed, Eddie Riggs.

However, I find the characters in Dragon Age: Origins to be the best of any game out this year.
