15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

15. Hot Coldman (Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker)

Getting the 'tone' of Metal Gear right by its fans is a tricky thing.

Give us vampires who can walk on water or octopus-armoured ex-Presidents and we'll say "Okay", but a man back from the dead who's been granted the ability to throw fireballs simply because he's that damn angry? It just won't fly.

Indeed, despite Kojima's last 'proper' Metal Gear having one of the most interesting stories of them all - an A.I. governing the world's access to nuclear weapons - the Peace Walker project was headed up by one Hot Coldman, possibly the most brilliantly horrendous character name we've had since Fatman.
