The one and only Solid Snake is the main symbol of stealth action games, Solid Snake will never be caught, and when he does, a nice gun fight will do the job, or perhaps run away and hide in a cardboard box and perhaps smoke a ciggerete at the same time if you wish, but what made him number 4 on our list is mainly MGS4, where you play as Old Snake, i mean, an old veteran crawling through battles and taking every enemy and boss down when needed, sneaking behind an enemy and choak him to death, pretty badass given the fact that he is old.
