Patrick McReary. you can screw his sister, kill his brother, and order him to blow people up for you. Packie is one of the most believable characters in any of the gtas. he also offers one of the most tragic stories in gta IV which i shall not spoil even though the game is like a million years old. Lastly he offers the greatest most memorable and rewarding mission in the game, the bank robbery! practically rolling digital money after that heist.

Kate's actually the only "girlfriend" character you can never sleep with. Personally, for me it's a tie between Tony Prince and Little Jacob. Tony was just such a well developed character and by the end of the DLC, I really felt for him. ANd Little Jacob's just plain awesome, for precisely the reasons outlined in this article.

i really dug all three of the GTA IV era protagonists, they were so well thought out and multilayered. Niko, Johnny, and Luis will always have a place in my heart; and they are the reasons why I go back and play their respective campaigns frequently.

Mike Toreno form San Andreas, my favorite charterer played by James Wood.Most charming government agent ever written for a video game.

I was surprised Lance Vance didn't make the list even though he's an ass for betraying Tommy. The best part of him was his White Infernus.

Great Piece! Personally for me its a tie between the band LoveFist and Tommy Vercetti, mostly for the missions involving the Scottish 80's hair metal band in Vice City (drunkenly trying to defuse a bomb in their car while you struggle to keep the gas running and not do to much damage to the car). I also generally have a soft spot for Vice City in general playing as a character with a personality that embodies 80's crime films.

You know which character I don't like? Roman... I like Little Jacob the best because I have no idea what he's saying. Even the subtitles don't help.
