All Time Greatest Game Hero

I was searching around on this gaming website when I came across a competition were they took 64 of the best heroes and had a tournament. They had characters from all time periods, from Mario and Donkey Kong to Cloud Strife and Kratos. By who is left I can pretty much tell who is gonna win which is Mario, but I completely disagree with it. Mario is great and all but it seems like the old Mario games were just the same thing over and over. The guy basically went around trying to find this girl while all along fighting a giant turtle. To me that is not was epic and compelling as some of the other heroes listed. For example, Kratos is a one man killing machine. He was killed two of the biggest Greek Gods in Ares and Zeus and his games are some of the best in the 20th century. Another hero that I had in mind was Gordon Freeman from the Half-Life series. Gordon Freeman is trying to rid the world of evil with nothing but his handy crowbar. And his titles were the best selling PC games ever. I am not taking anything away from Mario, he is a great hero, but any competiton with him in it is just unfair.

From the 64 heroes that were listed, my pick would have been Marcus Fenix. He is the main character from the Gears of War franchise and that is personally my favorite game.
