In games there in generally a limited selection of hero (Normally the character you play as) These are as follows:-

Big muscly meathead - eg Duke Nukem
Female bombshell - eg Lara Croft
Super intellegent hacker - eg Gordon Freeman (Half Life)
Long haired animie guy - eg Any japanese import

I know they are exceptions to these categories, but the majority of hero's in games can be placed into these stereotypes. I would personally like to see more variation in the character types. Perhaps the next Final Fantasy game should have a Yorkshire man in who shouts "Have itttt" or "Oh aye."
Maybe the next Tekken game should havea Cockney who says "appels and pairs" or "shine your shoes guvnor." Or.... perhaps not....
