We all love our favorite established characters, but when a new character comes along with charisma, charm, a great design, or a fantastic voice actor it’s something to celebrate. This year had a lot of great new characters in new games and returning franchises. Some talked and some didn’t.
Jeremy Donaldson – Not for Broadcast
Not for Broadcast isn’t only the funniest game to be made in a long time, but the characters keep you hooked in the game. This FMV style game is probably the best to ever do it. The Monty Python style British comedy mixed with politics and dark humor is just cleverly written, cast, and made. Jeremy Donaldson is a miserable news anchor who hates the world and people around him. He oozes a charm and keeps you glued to your screen.
