3. You – Doom
DOOM was the original cool. It was played by every kid who had an archaic computer, and one kid whom I recall from my Junior High days boasted he knew every map, inside and out, and that he would willingly draw the map immediately to prove his proclaimed knowledge. We of course declined, but then he would pull his hair until we let him. The fact that the main character had no name is a sweet concept because he is supposed to BE YOU! You have to live the nightmare and make it out alive. Also, in the end of the game, if you hide, the two bosses will scrap it out, and you can run out to clean up what’s left. Kind of a neat idea, if you’re into monster on monster crime.
2. James Bond – Goldeneye
Admit it, when Goldeneye came out, you and all your friends were hunting each other down with golden guns, shitty klobbs, cougar magnums, and of course, a serious case of Nintendo Thumb.
Man, my thumb hurts, but it was worth it. GOLDENEYE!
You were all fighting for the right to be General Ourumov, so you could say stuff like: “You can’t win”. Bond was the first console shooter that had all the kids doing backflips. Even the fat kids that shouldn’t be doing backflips.
1. Master Chief – Halo
Master Chief is a beast of a man, and number one in the hearts of first person shooting buffs everywhere. Despite the other bold personalities on the list, the strong, silent type earns first place for his solid contribution to the art of killing. His game has also made T-Bagging famous, and I must admit, I love crawling on the back of a warthog and shooting at stuff until my friend accidentally drives us off a cliff.
And now sir, for a taste of English Breakfast
Master Chief is a hulking man at about seven feet tall, and one-thousand pounds in his armour. Covenant and the Flood both fall before his skills, and we salute him.
