NowGamer - Gears of War 3 is out next week, and to celebrate, we thought we’d go back; way, way, way, way back to when Epic Games was called Epic MegaGames, and Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski was cutting his teeth on Jazz Jackrabbit in 1994, his first prolific design project at the studio, and one of the slickest platformers of the 90s.
From Xfire: "Bunnies are often depicted in media and popular culture as small, fluffy, adorable little buck-toothed bundles of cuteness, so far as deifying a rabbit and incorporating it into Easter traditions, somehow associating the mammal with colourful eggs and the consumption of unhealthy quantities of chocolate effigies made in its image. However, not all lagomorphs are love and cuddles - as Australia would be happy to tell you - and in video games, more often than not rabbits will be psychopathic murderers.
Since the brief season in which the ritualistic worship of a paranormal rabbit is socially acceptable is upon us, let's take a look, in no particular order, at the best and baddest hares in video games who could send the Easter Bunny packing."
How is Fran from Final Fantasy XII missing? ;-) She is the most badass Rabbit ever been in a video game!
I would add a couple honorable mentions. Vibri from Vib Ribbon and Robbit from Jumping Flash.
Bucky O'Hare says hello even though he only had one game.
