    I'd like to go ahead and throw out a character nomination they missed. I think that @ should have a star too.

    I thought the Crash games were fun platformers for the PSX, and he seemed to be the closest thing to Mario or Sonic that Sony had, and he's made it through 2 generations on the Sony hardware.

    Link, Mario, Sonic, and.. Master Chief? Jesus H. Christ on a cracker. That's pathetic. It's like a Sesame Street "One of these things doesn't belong" puzzle.

    I also find it amusing that the Sony games division is sponsoring something that inducts Sid Meier. I can imagine the description they'll have of him. "He designs games that people who play our consoles would never be interested in, since none of Sid's games involve killing hookers."

    I should probably post this anonymously, since Sony fanboys might be able to figure out how to bang their clubs against the keyboard in a way that would mod this down.
