Jack:

Bioshock protagonist.
Teammate in Mass Effect 2.
Jack Krauser - Resident Evil 4.

All that comes to mind at the moment. Hmm I might be wrong but wasn't Raiden called Jack in MGS2? Been ages since I've played that.

I don't know any Andrews right of the top of my head.
Same here, which is weird because I know a lot of Andrews in real life. The only one I could think of was Andrew Harrison, the marine player character in Alien vs Predator 2.

Well there's this guy...never mind the picture, it's Joe from Mafia 2.

I don't know of any other Joe's in video games and I'm kind of pissed that this is the only other Joe (that I can think of). I fucking hated this guy, it seemed like everything he did in Mafia 2 fucked you over.

edit - HOLY SHIT! I FORGOT THE BEST ONE!


JOE FUCKING MUSASHI!
Good catch. Another Joe here. Is this cheating?

I'm not sure if there's an actual Joe in the G.I. Joe franchise...not counting Bruce Willis. Before him though, I'm not sure if there are any Joes named Joe...then again I was never a big fan of the show so I could be way off. Hell, Snake-Eyes could be Joe Musashi in disguise for all I know.
Guess you're right on that one. Oh well, we'll be forever remembered by Glass Joe in Mike Tyson's Punchout. What a ripoff

I can only think of one Chris.
Chris Redfield's the only one I can think of most people here would recognize, yeah. Also, Chris from King of Fighters.

We do have a couple of visual novel characters I can think of, though: Chris Vertin (main character of Symphonic Rain) and Chris Northfield (primary character in Princess Waltz).

Take heart!

You also have Joe Higashi.

Can't think of any current ones, but apparently the NEA approved a grant to make a videogame about Henry David Thoreau. Of course I don't play that many games, So if any of you know of a videogame character called Henry please let me know.
An antagonist/frenemy (I have declared that to be a word, meaning "friendly enemy") from No More Heroes is named Henry. Here he is:

OP: For the longest time, I didn't seem to have anyone to share my name, but then along came Scribblenauts with Maxwell!

Sharing a name with a guy who essentially has the power to make whatever the heck he wants is pretty good, if I do say so myself. I don't know any others, though...

The only major one I can think of right now would be Nathan Drake, besides him some random survivors in Dead Rising 1 and 2 and Dead Island are also named Nathan but that is all I can think of.

Viewtiful Joe
The funny thing (or sad thing) is that I've played a couple of games with Viewtiful Joe (Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Viewtiful Joe). I don't even know if the Joe I mentioned is Joe Musashi or, Joe Higashi.

Uhh...why am I having trouble with this?
My name's common but the closest one I can think of in games are characters named John.

There is only one character in all of gaming I can think of that has my name, Youngster trainer Tristan from Pokemon. Although he has a lot of names, so....
