Well, C&C3 is totally not what I expected for the following reasons.

Reason 1. So I am there, commandeering my army through heck. I recaptured the Pentagon, The White House, done Commando raids, basically saving the world of those NOD suckers and alien whimps and at the end, my horrible 3 star general turns down on me, saying "I should be ashamed of myself wearing the GDI uniform" because I had to use the dumb Tiberium Bomb (HARD mode) to finnish off the NOD. I mean, the deaths are first of all yellow/red zone citizens that supported NOD, so at the end you're just doing them all a favor by blowing them up right away instead of letting them turn into hulk first until crystals start growing our of their eyes and mouth which would cause even more of a horrible death. Second, NOD needs to be ELIMINATED the faster the better, so I got a bomb ready to roll, I will use it, I guess the others in between are collateral damage, a war takes unfortunately many civilian deaths but as I said, you did them all a favor. One of the countries that blew up when i used the bomb was my native one, collateral damage and there is a guy at the end sayign I should be ashamed of myself.... but thanks God that guy is a goner and I am now the highest in Command because the secretary of treasury elected me as his new right hand. Now that is a real warrior, no time for paperwork, just give the enemies what they ask for, that's a leader not those pansy arse Generals sticking to their lousy protocols and "well, it's not who the GDI is, we destroy tibeirum, don't use it".

 Next. The game is  so easy to beat, I finnished most missions including the last one on HARD. If you play NOD it is even more easier, what you do is build a few venoms and about 3-4 squads of Vertigo Bombers. Then you sent the 2-3 venoms into an enemy base straight on, so the enemy engages them and meanwhile you let the vertigo bombers blow up the targets of opportunity. It is a good and cheap method to finnish off the enemy when you play NOD. At the end, NOD air power is the best, those Vertigo Bombers got some great armor too !

The GDI is harder to beat in HARD mode because their air units this time suck. So you rely on the usual Mammoth Tank/medium Tank mix with railgun upgrades.

C&C 3 Tiberium wars = A disappointment, way too short, way too easy and some bad generals at the end saying that I should be ashamed of wearing the GDI uniform.....

I came to the conclusion that Crysis is simply the best FPS ever. I have not yet plaid the game but I am saying it already now so that you all know I was the first guy ever to say that it is the best (not like others said it will be the best) I say already now, it is the best FPS ever made.

 I am the first gamer to say that and deserve respect.

What I am learning out of this post is that HL2 fans agree that it has to be a linear game since it is all about getting one cool script after the other while blowing all the enemies to heck. I still have a hard time imagening why it is more fun that way, rather than being able to choose which roads to take in a city, whether to wait out enemy patrols or to rambo them down, I mean, you could make a game linear and then you can make it a little less linear, understand what I mean? 10 yard to either side walls that lead you to the next level could be turned into whole city sections that you choose to take, one section has its ups as it has its downs. I see no reason why HL2 would be worse that way. I would totally prefer it that way, since it would make me replay the game much more "oh let's replay the whole game but this time I want to see how it will be taking those other streets etc".

Villains

-Kane, from C&C series
-Any of the Soviet leaders in the Red Alert series, they were all so charismatic that you could help but chuckle when Stalin said "when you kill one, its a tragedy...when you kill a million, its a statistic."
-HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic...you are so used to cute Star Wars robots that when you finally meet a homocidal one you're like "Hahaha, that is soooooooo badass...suckit meatbags."

Heroes

-Gordon Freeman, the strong silent type. He is just your average physics nerd who discovers his inner badass. And in the second game you find out that you have this huge following and that you reached legendary or even mythical status.
-Sam Fisher, he is a modern day ninja, fighting the good fight free of the red tape governments often put on most delicate issues. His dark humor and one liners are totally awesome, and the actor who voices him just has an awesome, gravelly, hearty voice.
-Duke Nukem, the guy is a walking xenocidal maniac, spitting oneliners along the way. 'Nuff said.

Neutrals

-Agent 47, sure you could debate this but the fact is that he is an assassin and while his main target is often a bad guy, you kill a lot of innocent peole along the way (well, I do atleast). Agent 47 is the physical culmination of the "do the ends justify the means" debate.
-G Man from Halflife 2, while he seems to be Gordon's keeper, you are not totally sure what his motivations are. Is he in it for personal power, or is he a worldly patriot, doing what he must to stop the Combine? Putting Gordon into stasis wasnt very nice, but he also lets Gordon fight the good fight when he is assigned a "job".

All in all I heavily favor the villains. Its odd because people often describe me as a grizzly bear with a heart of gold, or even a teddy bear. I think my friends would be suprised to see how sadistic I am in my games. In C&C, I will burn down a village before going around it. Flame tanks for the win!

::EDIT::

Oh, I want to add Walton Simons, the FEMA director from Deus Ex. I think that if Dick Cheney was younger and had bio implants, he would be Walton Simons *shiver*

And of course I gotta add my favorite hero of all time, JC DENTON!

It was an HONOR reading your post. Such beautiful English, I can only totally agree with you on all perspectives, it is as if you could read my mind. I would go with you into battle anytime, throwing myself in the hail of bullets/plasma fire/flames and those evaporating as well as once hit I turn into a pile of skeleton to ensure the survival of people like you. 

Admiral Basch from Freespace 2 was a good sympathetic villain, though his monologue's constant historical/mythological references were tiresome.
