Spyro??? buzzz??

u telling me they are more popular than master chief?? hmmmmmmm

also where is snake?? or Ken, Ruy or anyone else??

strange list

[RecSpec]

It's not about popularity it's about seeing a picture and recognizing who it is. Which to me is pretty funny. It's like when a tv show went around asking people to point out Iraq on a map. People didn't do too well.

[Staircase]

Yeah, where is Snake, Link? I would think Link would be one of the top ones.

[Kastor_Troii]

Mario is God!!! that is all........

[Salvadore]

Gordon Freeman?

[IntelligentAj]

Mario.. No competition.

[Le-mo]

Cloud and Snake should be on there. Whenever I hear the word Cloud or Snake I always think of them haha. And I agree that Buzz and Prince of Persia shouldn't be on there.
