To this day even in the original and basic 2D format that it had during its conception in 1987 Street Fighter would still be one of the worlds most popular fighting games. Capcoms creation is a veritable feast of fighting fun. Impersonating these characters can lead to broken bones and hurt egos but whether you want to be Ryu, Chung Li, or Ken now you can. Can I hear a chorus of “Hadouken’s”?


3. Sonic the Hedgehog



He is Sega’s marquee character and his original conception in 1991 was their aim to create a character that could rival Nintendo’s Mario. It worked, as the Sonic video game game series has sold over 50 million copies to date. In October of last year Sonic the Hedgehog was voted the most popular video game character of all time in a poll by MSN. The common myths of Sonic’s heritage are that his character is based on Bill Clinton and the influence for his red boots are a mixture of Santa and the Michael Jackson video Bad. Sonic makes it to #3 on our list but on any given day he could take that #1 spot.

It’s pretty obvious that this video game character is the one that most men would like to bring to life and most women would like to be. Since 1996 Lara Croft has graced our computer screens and our dreams. She has moved from screen to novels and comics all the way back to the big screen in a film starring Angelina Jolie. In 2008 Lara Croft was voted the 3rd most iconic video game character of all time by MSN, on our of most popular video game inspired costumes list she takes the #2 spot, but for most males a Lara Croft costume is impossible to beat.


1. Super Mario


When you think video games, you think Mario, it’s as simple as that and the reason for this is all down to his longevity. The Italian plumber has been on the scene since 1981 when he was known as “jumpman”. Since that time he has gone onto become a global icon, who has stared in comics, movies and of course numerous adaptations of his famous first video game. He is synonymous with Nintendo and more than that with video gamming and this is the reason that he has that coveted #1 spot. As the man himself would say "Thatsss Arrrriiiggggttt".
