Your all-time favorite video game character.

I forgot also Kyle Katarn and Jim Raynor.
They're on my list.

the FUCKS up with not including duke in here, how did that even happen????
 

" Neku Sakuraba from The World Ends With You or Phoenix Wright. "

He's my avatar for a reason.

Duke Nukem. Obviously.

Supa Mario.

" Manny and Guybrush! "

Razputin 

Gordon Freeman 
 
All he wanted to do was go to work, and shit goes all wrong

The apes! From ape escape!

Nathan Drake once I realized there's more to characters than the armor (or lack of).

I'm not going to lie. I REALLY like Ken. 
 
I mean...

The Marble from Marble Madness on the Nes.

Princess Zelda! And Sylvanas Windrunner if I'm allowed her too.

You know I really like Ethan Mars from Heavy Rain.  

Little Mac from Punch-Out will always be a favorite of mine. Punch-Out was the first game I ever played, and the little man could kick some ass!

                                                   DIE ONE THOUSAND DEATHS

Chie followed closely by the young Revolver Ocelot.

Toss between Ling and Mega Man

Agent Francis York Morgan of course.

 Solid Snake  all time favorite 

Tough call... 
 
I'd have to say a three way tie between Luigi, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Cammy. 
 
EDIT: Tails without voice acting. Just thought I'd make that clear.

So that I don't spend hours in contemplation, I will limit my choice to games from this year only and choose John Marston.

I'd go with the collective Kushan (or Hiigaran, if you prefer) people from the Homeworld games. You really feel for them after the tragedy they experienced and that makes their return to their homeworld that much more glorious.
 
After that, Durandal from the Marathon games (Bungie did crazy AI guy long before System Shock and Portal). 
 
And all the unit quotes in Company of Heroes gives those units so much more character to those guys than Blizzard could ever hope to in their games, some examples:
 
Grenadier with Panzershreck: "Time for us to un-pimp zeir ride!"
 
Jagdpanther: "Some people think we're compensating." (Remember, a Jagdpanther isn't a tank with a giant gun so much as it's a giant gun with a tank built AROUND it).
 
US .30 cal Sergeant: "Then don't lead them so damn much!"
 
Apparently Relic recorded at least 50,000 individual lines for that game, now that's attention to detail.

Wario. He's that combination of brutal, carismatic anti-hero, he's a character I liked from the very beginning and just sticked fond of as the series progressed.  :P
