Quantcast



Ever questioned who was cool and who wasn't in gaming? For instance: Kratos = cool; Tingle = not cool. Our good friends over at ScrewAttack put together their own little list of cool. Agree with them or did they leave out some uber peeps? Let us know.

I have to give it to them, Duke Nukem is pretty damn cool. I agree with pretty much all that list, although I'm surprised Samus wasn't on there.

Yeah the fact that Kratos wasn't on there was sort of lame.
Despite my apathy for Halo I seriously think the master chief should be on there.

Ken > Guile

I have to agree with snail, maybe not #1 but kratos should have definitely been in there somewhere! C'mon that minigame alone should have put him atleast in the #3 spot!

Screw Cloud...he isn't cool, he is a wuss!
If Samus spoke then maybe she would be cool enough to get on the list...although she did blast alot in Metroid Prime.

Kratos probably should've been on there, screw Jim!

I'd say Kratos is #1, but that's just me.

Also, he's new, but Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk is pretty damn cool.

Duke Nukem number one? Fail. He shouldn't even be on the list.

Sooo...

The king from Katamri is on there but Master Chief isn't?

Yeah, Duke's been sitting on his ass for a billion years. No soup for you!

Kratos is too emo to be on the list.

I'd erase Cloud, Duke and Lara from that list, and include Master Chief, Kratos and Samus.

Yeah, Cloud's cool...if you're an emo fag. I like the #1 choice, but overall that list is pretty crappy. Hayabusa should've been higher, too. He's a frickin' ninja.

Good idea, shitty execution. Was anyone else utterly not amused by the jokes/witticisms? SA, you've failed me.

Balthier is by far the coolest Final Fantasy character. Hell, he may be #1 overall.

Link? Where's LINK? No RE characters? (Not even insane Wesker?) And wasn't Sonic the definition of cool, for a time?

+2 for Dante and Snake, -8 for the rest.

Samus > Lara.

What is people's obsession with that blocky-boobed bitch anyway? And Cloud is cool? To whom? Emo kids?

What, Marcus Fenix doesn't get a vote? He might only have one game at the moment, but a few sequels from now, he'll be a badass to remember.

I got no prob with Duke Nukem at number one, but yeah I'd put a vote in for Albert Wesker, he wears shades all the time too and he's a superpowered psycho killer with a cool accent.
Also a word for Harman Smith from Killer 7, cuz he's like 8 guys in one and every single one of them is bad to the bone. To quote Coyote Smith, "ah, you're fucked!"
Or do I mean Garcian Smith? Whatever.

Lt. Frank Horrigan, the end boss in Fallout 2, was pretty cool. His power armor even had dreadlocks.
