Time to raid some tombs...
Lara Croft from the Tomb Raiders
Lara Croft is a grave robbing tough as nails shoot-em up bang bang rough and tumble kind of girl. I never understood why they put her in those ridiculous clothes. They aren’t even sexy, just ridiculous looking.
I never played any of the games. Though I’ve died in all the demos.
Oh, also, apparently in the new game she doesn’t wear that crap and there are monsters, which is totally fucking awesome.
Whatcha so mad at little cave dude?
Bonk from Bonk’s Adventure.
Bonk is a little kid from the past with a horrible weaponized head. Sometimes his head gets big. His head gets big and things die.
The world warrior
Ryu from the Street Fighter games.
Everybody always liked Ryu so much. Everybody but me, anyhow. Everything Ryu is, Ken is a better version of to me, so I never really bothered.
His bandana is boss, though.
Such a cute lil guy
Sackboy from Little Big Planet
I’ve been playing this game a bit and despite its… unfortunate sales, it’s pretty kickass. Maybe it’s because I’ve been running through it co-op, which is clearly where the game shines.
My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas.
Sam from Sam n’ Max.
This is the best dressed dog I know.
WAAAAAAAAAAA!
He is a creature of pure contempt and malevolance and he posesses a special kind of disdain for every living thing, the sea the sun and the earth that they walk on.
Waluigi hates this world.
Who could love a world that could spawn Waluigi?
Pika!
Pikachu from Pokemon
Pikachu is one of many soulless creatures bred to fight and die in a harsh world that it never made. He’s a sort of mouse-rabbit-tesla coil and he ain’t to be trifled with.
The shock rat demands tribute!
Morrigan from Darkstalkers
Guest post! Another guest post from our pal Anthony Harris.
Tony says:
The flagship character for the series.
Capcom’s foray into monsters and fighting games, which could have easily been a StreetFigher pasted over Hollywood Monsters. It has unique game play and if you like to play with odd characters, this was your game. If you ever played the first game Nightwarriors, it is ruthless and unforgiving in its challenge. At the end of the day how could you go wrong with a Bruce Lee werewolf?
How could you stomp a face like that?
A Goomba from Super Mario bros.
These little guys are charismatic, iconic and just damned fun to murder.
Plus when you kill them, they go *Woo-kup*
EAT DIRT!
Earthworm Jim from Earthworm Jim.
As a kid this was one of my absolute favorite games. Funny, weird, hypnotically violent and expertly executed. If you haven’t played the 2-d installments of this game series, you should stop what you’re doing and rearrange your near future to accomadate them. Earthworm Jim is a game about a worm who’s given the power to strike out against all who oppose him, when he gets hold of a super suit.
It’s produced by arch-conservative madman and grade-a cartoonist Doug Tennapel, who you can find here:

Some of the best 2d animation I’d ever seen in a game… and I’m not sure, but it’s probably still true today.
