11 Most Valiant Video Game Heroes Of All Time
Great power, great responsibility.
Valiant: To possess courage or determination.
There was a point where heroes were nothing more than a yellow circle that eats white dots and ghosts, or a white rectangle hitting back a small white pixel. Nowadays we have fully fleshed out, modelled characters who speak their mind and often elucidate our own thoughts at times.
They fight the good fight, and quite often, they succeed.
We've met a lot of good fellows over the years bearing those traits, more than you can count on two hands *cough* hence 11 *cough*. Heroes in the FPS, RPG, TPS, horror, platformer, etc, across a whole spectrum of genres.
It's a daunting task, but a thrilling one to rank 11 of the greatest video game heroes of all time.
As always, don't hesitate to mention another in the comments.
11. Marcus Fenix - Gears Of War
From war to prison and back again, Marcus Fenix won't be stopped down, he'll keep going and going and going until either the Locust are extinguished and his father is safe, or he bites the dust himself.
Built like a brick sh*thouse and armed with an assault rifle and an under-barrelled chainsaw; heroic determination and fortitude don't go any further than with Marcus Fenix.
That said, perhaps he wouldn't have got far without the help of his companions.
