What’s up people. For Black History Month, we’ve decided to cull together a list of the Top 20 Black Characters in Gaming. Counting down from 20, we’ll be hitting you with a new one each week day until we get to number 1. Let’s get to it:

#9 on TGH’z Top Black Video Game Characters list is none other than Jade from Beyond Good and Evil

Keeping with the tradition of this list and calling out the sleeper hits comes Jade, from Ubisoft’s Beyond Good and Evil. This game dropped in 2003 to little fan fare. This may have been for a few reasons. Ubisoft played up the fact the main protagonist was a photographer and that her camera would be a key feature of the game. This may have inadvertently turned off some gamers who were really getting used to the big guns of FPS games at the time.

Jade’s ethnicity isn’t spelt out in the game, but the cases can be made that she’s at least mixed. This was definitely a sleeper hit and you have to check out the recently announced sequel coming to the next gen systems.
