Remembering A Hero: Broken Sword’s George Stobbart
From PSS:
Dante, Max Payne, Kratos, The Dark Knight – video games have witnessed some cool, clean and charismatic protagonists in recent years. Equipped with a plethora of gadgets, barrel-loads of weaponry or wielding preposterous knives named ‘Blades of Chaos’- taking on the world with these guys has become second nature. That said, what about the character more dangerous than Duke Nukem, more loveable than Lara, and with more stealth than Solid Snake? Don’t get me wrong Uncharted’s Nathan Drake is one of the smartest, sharpest and smoothest lead characters to grace modern gaming but whilst Nate was spending his paper route earnings on tootsie rolls and frozen yogurt another man was in town, cooler than ever and saving the planet; Idaho’s finest: George Stobbart.
