Jim Sterling has taken a moment out to write up on some of the most annoying video game characters that are so bad, he wants to kill them. Then he lets you know how he would do it. Good times.

Videogame history is littered with rage and frustration. While we all love and cherish this noble hobby we call gaming, it has still been the source of thrown controllers, broken furniture and endless streams of curse words. While much anger has been had at bad level design, cheap deaths and wasted money, plenty of rage has been reserved for the characters themselves.

Game characters can be incredibly annoying. This is the result of an industry where game developers try to be writers, and homeless drunks try to be voice actors. I am sure that as I type, there are multitudes of irritating faces and grating voices that are now running through your brain. I am sorry for making you remember Navi.

Fear not, however, for I hope to exorcise some of those demons today with a most therapeutic article. Come with me as I discuss the videogame characters I'd like to kill and describe exactly how I'd kill them.

      Ha ha, he's like the high school kids who whine about how their parents/teachers recommended they visit a counsellor or psychiatrist for writing violent/perverted stories in class! It's mind over matter you jocks!!! Well it's all in good fun in this case, though he was quite descriptive in some places!

    why is he down on Ryu? Ryu's awesome. its players that spam hadokens is what he should be complaining about. what a prick. if you want to pick anyone to kill from Street Fighter, it should be Vega, Balrog, Fei Long, or some of the new losers from SF4 like C Viper, Rufus or El Fuerte.

    This was actually well written and funny. I didn't expect that. For once someone uses a decent vocabulary in one of these articles.

    Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5 please.
    After so much co-op, decided to run through it single player.

    OMFG. Stupidity on legs she was. Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) made such fantastic points in his review of the game.

      Play as Sheva, and you'll be hating Chris in much the same way. ;D
