10 Most Influential Video Gaming Characters Of All Time

7. Sackboy

As gaming has moved on, it has become increasingly hard to create a new, sustainable gaming super character. Gamers want violence, they want fast paced action and they want customisation, things which don€™t lend themselves well to one set, cute character. Enter Sackboy. Granted, the games may not be violent, but LittleBig Planet became something of a cult icon when released for PS3, and Sackboy was the perfect face for the game. Completely customisable, gamers could change his colour, hair and outfit as many times as they like, whilst still retaining the characters same overall identify. He was Sackboy. Plush Toys, Spin Offs and sequels later, Sackboy is arguably one of the most famous video gaming characters on the planet, and definitely the most recognisable €˜new guy€™. In a world when so many games are cross platform, and gaming characters are now much more €˜human€™, Sackboy has created a niche of not only being cute, but also being cool. Did You Know? Whilst officially known as Sackboy, the character is also referred to as Sackgirl; or the gender-neutral alternatives Sackperson, Sack Thing, Sackchum, or Sack.
