Roger Wilco never made it to the competition at all :(, but vote for Guybrush Threepwood for greatest video game hero of all time!

I did, sadly it doesn't look too promising at this point. He's going to lose to a nobody and that makes me know exactly what kind of gamers Gamespot attracts.

It doesn't help that they used the worst possible picture of Guybrush ever for his profile pic and whoever wrote the biography has never played a Monkey Island game in his life as he completely misunderstands him and gets lots of things wrong. It doesn't make him out to look like a hero at all. It's a very twisted biased competition.

I don't understand why he's up against the protagonist from Shadow of the Colossus, unless they're purposely putting heroes against their complete opposites. I agree on the bad picture and profile though, it shouldn't have been that hard for them to find someone whose played it to write it up instead.

I think the ugly picture with the stupid hair is balanced by him holding that head (which, unfortunately, you can't tell is decapitated from that picture).
