    *SPOILER*
    Bruce Willis is actually a ghost in the movie ‘The sixth Sense’, Although they don’t really reveal that till the very end.

    But I just noticed somethin… isn’t this supposed to b a list of video game ghosts? lol, unless there was a game made about The sixth sense that I missed.. And if that’s not the case, what about Patrick Swayze?!

    Maybe if there was a list for the biggest P wipped ghost in a movie, he would surely win eh?

    You only have nine ghosts. Everyone knows that Sue has the special power to change her reproductive organs to the opposite, thus creating Clyde. And also, Bruce Willis really wasn’t a ghost in the Sixth Sense. He was a zombie mutant pirate viking!!1!ONE!11!!

    He’s a ghost AND a pirate AND he’s allergic to root beer. That’s the triple threat!

    Hey dude, thanks for the clarification. Actually that why I also got confused their. Well, I didn’t add the Sixth Sense reference but also got hypnotized by the video game theme embbeded in the list and my love for all MGS… didn’t know if Bruce Willis had even been in a game.

    His not really in one, is he? :S

    Does Glottis count as a ghost? I mean, he worked in the land of the dead; doesn’t that technically make him dead also? If so, Glottis and Manny FTW.

    How do you like Nova from StarCraft if the game wasn’t even released (Starcraft Ghost)And she didn’t make an appearance in Starcraft 1 or 2 !?!?!?!

  55. NoelNo Gravatar
    Posted March 20, 2008 at 4:45 am | Permalink

    Actually, Nova DOES APPEAR on Starcraft 1. Anyway, Nova is hell of a ghost, but Liquid Snake was great even before it was created.

    It’s a pretty good list, but you’re missing “Captain LeChuck” and “Murray the Talking Skull that i dont know how the f$#k it moves from one place to another”, from Monkey Island.

    OH NOES, now that i remember, you forgot the damn girl from F.E.A.R, that b$#@h really freaked me out.

  57. JaredNo Gravatar

    Can you actually call Liquid Snake a ghost? I saw it more as a biological thing. Either way, kudos on the list.

    For those asking about the inclusion of Bruce Willis in a video game list. Bruce Willis was the star of an original video game which was not based on a movie. The game is called Apocalypse, you can see it listed in the categories in Ryan’s post.

    In FFX Tidus wasn’t actually a ghost. He was a “dream”, so he doesn’t qualify? Besides, he wasn’t that cool anyway.

    all I can say is that if you’re going on movie ghosts too you can never go wrong with Patrik in Ghost. Now that dude was air!

    And Nova doesn’t appear in Starcraft one.. but she does appear in Starcraft lore! I would have taken Kerrigan but she was more fun as the Queen of Blades so the choice of smexy Nova girl was wiser. We all know she will star in Starcraft 2 anyway… please?
