10. Nathan Drake - Uncharted Series
The charismatic treasure hunter that has become another PlayStation flagship hero was another great protagonist of the last generation. The adventures we went on with Drake, the fights we got into and the puzzles and mysteries solved made for a great adventure game, but the fire fighting also made for some exciting action sequences. It was the closest many people could get to fulfilling the Indiana Jones experience we've always wanted, but was also a great individual adventure story on it's own, with Drake playing no small part in how well the games were received, with the treasure hunting skills of Lara Croft, the climbing skills of Altair and the ability to throw and take a punch like a badass. Uncharted, more than most other games, certainly supports the argument that video games are becoming more and more like epic films with each generation and Drake makes for an excellent hero in these circumstances. With the recent teaser for Uncharted on PS4, we're itching with excitement to see where Drake's adventures will take us to next.
High Point For This Character: The playable plane crash sequence from Uncharted 3 was one of the most epically cinematic moments in gaming history and has cemented Drake in the archives as being an awesome character worthy of the action hero title.
