10 Wicked Video Game Assassins That Couldn’t Be Stopped

1. Solid Snake

"Snake? Snake?! Snaaaaaaaaaaake!" That word will resonate with any serious gamer of the last 25 years. Over a quarter of a century ago, the Metal Gear series sprung from the brain of Hideo Kojima. Since then, it has developed in to the Metal Gear Solid series and has become one of the most compelling arguments for considering video games as art, on the same level as films. With the influential and critically acclaimed series, comes one of the most iconic video games of the modern era, if not of all time - Solid Snake. Like the aforementioned Agent 47, Solid Snake is a clone created to be the best at what he does. Created from the DNA of the world's greatest soldier, Big Boss, Solid Snake is the only man that can save the world from the other villainous Big Boss clones and the Metal Gear war machines. One of the key factors that has helped Snake become one of the greatest and most recognisable gaming character is, without a doubt, David Hayter. Hayter is an established screenwriter (writing credits include X-Men, X-2: X-Men United and Watchmen) and actor who provides the definitive gravely voice and performance for Solid Snake. The combination of Hayter's consistently brilliant performances, the complex deep story and his stealth suit & bandana makes Solid Snake of one the video's games greatest assassins and one of the industry's most iconic protagonists.
