Kuros rox. Do you find it kind of ironic, in the first level of Ironsword all those birds are kamikaze diving right into your face, and Fabio is the model for Kuros on the cover... I like Ironsword, though. I just can't beat it.

I recently said this at another board, but I think the all time worst character is Crash Bandicoot, he's a bad Sonic ripoff, and Sonic kinda sucked in the first place.

Runners up, Alucard, Richter Belmont (for being the scourges of the greatest game series ever), Ray Poward, Spyro, Lara Croft, Gex, Knuckles and I think I'll now add Krazy Ivan to that list, because his game just plain sucks and he acts like the stereotypical Russian badass.
