It took me a sec to get all of them, but it's pretty clever.

Gotta say that all of them were obvious to me except for Vega, E Honda and Kratos.

Pretty cool, I was able to figure out all of them except Kratos. But I give my self a pass on that since I've never played more than 10 minutes of GoW. :p

I like the Samus one best. It's subtle. You have to know the colors.

Neat! I figured out most of them, but I didn't get the Street Fighter ones (never really played it), and somehow Donkey Kong completely stumped me. I stared at it, and thought "Is that I tie? Or a weird sword? What the heck is it?"

Only one I didn't get was Master Chief, of all things. Pretty cool.

Nice find! I probably wouldn't have figured out Vega if it wasn't for E. Honda.

A couple of those would make bad-ass avatars.

Neat, disappointed with myself that I didn't get Megaman.

Fracking awesome. I didn't get E. Honda or Vega, even though I read the thread before I looked. Set Samus as my desktop background, definitely pretty neat, and I would like to see more.

Seems very Nintendo-centric but cool nonetheless. At least they had Kratos in there.

Nintendo, as a brand, is heavily character-focused.

Nintendo, as a brand, is heavily character-focused.And also nearly universally recognizable.

Here is my first attempt at making a minimalist VG Character

I had to cheat to figure out the second one, but now that I get it, it's pretty funny.

The first and third are obviously Sonic and Pac-Man, respectively, but I'd guess the second is Laura Croft, right?

Either way, good job!
