2006 is the year of the first Video Game Baftas, which will be shown on E4 on 17 October. Tell us who you think is the greatest game character and your comments may make it onto the programme.

Did you used to argue whether Sonic would beat Mario in a fight? Is Lara Croft the only reason Tomb Raider sold millions? Which character best represents the future of gaming - the Prince from We Love Katamari maybe, or perhaps you think Master Chief from Halo is more appropriate? Was Pac Man the first truly iconic game star? Let us know.

Crash Bandicoot. He rules! I have spent so many hours playing the CB games on my PS2.

Crash is my fave too. I love all the CB games and i always look forward to the new ones.

Mario!!!!!

I nominate myself for my totally awesome performance on WWII Combat Flight Simulator.

I love Pac Man as a game character because he's instantly recognisable and iconic (plus his wife is pretty hot).

Creating Samus as a female bounty hunter was a clever twist that was revealed at the end of the first of Nintendo's Metroid series. With all that armour, there's no hint of sexuality, so it was a clever statement that's been lost with today's female characters who go into battle in their underwear.

The evil dwarf dude from Resident Evil 4 was great too. That game is full of fantastic enemy characters.

Solid snake in the Metal Gear Solid series was a legend.

Salazar? lol

Mario (All Mario charecters)
Leon (Resident of Evil)
Harry Potter (Harry Potter seires)
something something (prince of persia)
Tom clancy (splinter cell)

I think Sam Fisher form Splinter Cell was the best character; blowing up a CCTV camera or electrocuting some guards standing in water has never been so much fun!

got to be solid snake hes so cool did any one play the twin snkes then you will no what i mean

Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue!

It has absolutely GOT to be either Zelda or Link from Legend of Zelda. Link has the best moves and looks really cool, and Zelda looks really cool and she's really smart!

i think crypto from destroy all humans! 1 + 2 is a really great character.

i also like kratoes ( i think thats how you spell it) from god of war. i like how ruthless he is.

solid snake all the way....owns every one

Hell yeah, apart from Chuck Norris

Has to be Sonic the Hedgehog. I was so addicted to playing Sonic on the old megadrive

Link is pretty cool too.

Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark the N64 game.

Great game and a great game character.

Keria from Star Wars : KOTOR II.

Lara Croft. No question.

The little fat italian plumber!

Miner Willy of Manic Miner and Jetset Willy fame. Failing that, I'd say Monty Mole.

Wally from Pyjamarama or Dynamite Dan from the game of the same name.

Dynamite Dan 1 & 2 now there were a couple of brilliant games. Really, really good.
