10 Times You Came Back From The Dead To Kick Ass In Video Games

10. Commander Shepard - Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 opens with one of the most memorable death scenes in video game history, as the Normandy is attacked and Commander Shepard sacrifices himself by forcing the ship's pilot Joker into the final escape pod.

Players are then made to watch as Shepard is blasted into the void of space and promptly asphyxiates when his suit is breached, suggesting that maybe, just maybe, the rest of the game might actually be fronted by somebody else.

But it's revealed moments later that Shepard's body was recovered by the Illusive Man's outfit Cerberus, who then initiate the Lazarus Project in order to bring him back to life.

Shepard is of course resurrected, and then remains the series' protagonist for the next two games. Regardless of the player's choices, he certainly kicks a shedload of post-revival ass.
