Video Game Character Draft

Four GameZone staffers are squaring off in the ultimate fantasy draft. We compiled a list of some of the best video game characters ever created. With four of us drafting, we took turns choosing characters to fill our eight roster spots. After the draft, we’ll each take our eight characters and form four teams of two to enter a ladder match. Once there, we will go head to head with other teams. Who moves on to the next round will be decided by your votes in a poll. Here is a round by round breakdown of the character picks:

The four staffers drafting were Matt, Mike S., Mike M., and Lance. The draft order was serpentine, so Lance would end a round and then begin the next one.

1. Matt – Master Chief
2. Mike S. – Ezio
3. Mike M. – Chris Redfield
4. Lance – Lara Croft

Round 2

5. L – Donkey Kong
