Tomb Raider's Lara Croft has been crowned Most Iconic Video Games Character of All Time and of course, the internet isn't happy. While there's always going to be debate about who's worthy of the crown, gaming fans think the decision is a massive snub to more worthy contenders – Mario and Sonic anyone?collection certainly put Lara back in the mind and the 90s are definitely on-trend right now.
And the Most Iconic Video Games Character of all time is... Lara Croft! 👑The globetrotting badass was voted the winner in our global poll🌎 What's your favourite Lara Croft memory?View the full Top 20 list 👇https://t.co/d2CY1FDKSW#BAFTAGamesAwards pic.twitter.com/T89IfhfudJ, over 4,000 gamers from across the world took part in its landmark players’ poll to decide who would win the coveted title.
Others shared a general annoyance at the rankings, with Mario taking 2nd closely followed by Hitman's Agent 47."Lara Croft at number 1 is a crime in itself, let alone being above MARIO, SONIC, AND PAC-MAN," said one passionate X user."You're telling me that Lara Croft is more iconic than the plumber that saved the whole videogame industry??" another chimed in.
While the rankings clearly disgruntled some, others chose to see the lighter side of the situation, with one X user commenting"I’m genuinely surprised that my boy Agent 47 is THAT high up on the list." Personally, I sympathise with everyone's impassioned response to the news as my favourite video game character was cruelly snubbed from the list. Matt from Wii Sports, you'll always be iconic to me. Daily design news, reviews, how-tos and more, as picked by the editors.
