Holding out for a hero
Heroism is a funny thing when it comes to video games. A hero doesn’t have to be a shining light of virtuous goodness, or a selfless bastion of hope. A hero, in video games, just has to be a protagonist. This could mean a cluster of pixels; a silent, floating gun; or a motion-captured actor bringing a character to life. As gaming evolves so does the idea of the hero, growing with every generation to be more well-developed and likable, even if their actions are still tantamount to sociopathy in any other medium.
Over gaming’s rather lengthy history there have been thousands of different protagonists, good guys, and heroes that we’ve had the pleasure of playing as, but we wanted to spotlight the ones that came out on top. The most memorable, heroic game characters we’ve ever played as. Because sometimes, no matter who you are or what you do, we all need a hero...
And we've even updated the final entries, so now, based on your votes in the comments, we have a full 100 heroes! Let us know if you're happy with the final list.
9. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
The lovely Ms. Croft isn’t the damsel-in-distress type--she doesn’t sit around in a tower waiting for some mystical Prince Charming to "save her." Instead, she seeks adventure. She was a daring treasure hunter long before Nathan Drake was even a thought, often chasing thrills at the risk of her own life. She’s intelligent, sexy, and incredibly capable--even if she isn’t one of the most tastefully designed female heroines ever--and when she was introduced to the world, she put many of her male protagonist counterparts to shame and ascended as a gaming icon.
Admittedly, some of Lara’s outings were missteps for the Tomb Raider franchise, but that doesn’t detract from her witty and fiercely independent nature. We admire her for many things, especially her ability to fend for herself and adapt to and overcome the seemingly impossible situations she continually finds herself in. Lara Croft isn’t just one of gaming’s most powerful women--she’s also one of gaming’s greatest protagonists.
