09 – Kratos
Simply God Of War! Violent. Impulsive. Ruthless. Brutal. As bloody as a butcher’s bin bag. Kratos is all of these things, but above all, he’s angry,really angry. What makes Kratos such a great character is his sheer. He is exclusive for Sony Playstation.

Probably the sexiest video game character of all time (Thanks to Angelina Jolie).

If you want to see more of her without playing and trying to solve hard puzzles, just check ‘’tomb raider’’ movies.

02 – Pac Man
He is the oldest character in this list. Born in 1980. The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating pac-dots or pellets. So simple but fun. May be simplicity made pacman an icon.
01 – Super Mario

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he is sort of a trademark for the industry as a whole.
gordon freeman and prince of persia more famous than sonic your having a laugh
Picking Sub Zero over Scorpion and Ken over Ryu…………
Fairly good otherwise, the Gordon gets little screen time, so no to him.
yeah we just kicked mannings ass in the super bowl
whoever compiled this list is an absolute moron with no knowledge of video game history. MEGAMAN, LINK, DONKEY KONG, DIGDUG… etc. What a terrible and uneducated article.
I was just discussing this with a friend, and some of the choices on this list seem a little off. I think it should be more like this:
10. Kratos
9. Solid Snake
8. Fox McCloud
7. Master Chief
6. Donkey Kong
5. Pikachu
4. Sonic
3. Pac Man
2. Link
1. Mario
Although to be fair, if it was based solely on game sales, over half of the characters up here would be from Mario games.
link is not in the list? lol
but yeah sure.. kratos.. i bet lots of people know him who didn’t own a PS3.. oh wait
rofl are you serious? Your average Joe would never be able to recognize Gordon Freeman or Prince of Persia. In fact, most characters here are only popular within the gaming community.
Here’s a more accurate list;
11- Kirby
10- Rayman
9- Lara Croft
8- Solid Snake
7- Crash Bandicoot
6- Pikachu
5- Link
4- Mega Man
3- Sonic
2- Mario
1- Pac Man
