Dynasty Warriors
Zhou Yu I love Zhou Yu's limitless capability to pull off combos, his moveset is just made for juggling enemy soldiers around and killing officers. He's been my favourite since Dynasty Warriors 3.

Zhang He Zhang He is my second favourite (with him being uber elegant and all). His talons look awesome and his moveset is nice a rapid, nice and icy for hit and run situations, as well as clearing crowds.

Yue Ying What can I say, she's got a moveset for sweet one on one combat and a nice musou for crown control (also the little pose at the end of her true musou looks awesome)

Generic Officers

Samurai Warriors
Kanetsugu Naoe He is kind of like a Zuo Ci and Zhou Yu combination. His crowd control is brilliant (especially his musou) and his special moves are handy when fighting tough officers

Mitsuhide Akechi First of all I love the counter. His musou is reminiscent of Zhang He and his attacks have great range, whilst not exactly brilliant for either crownd control or one on one combat, Mitsuhide is just a ton of fun to play with

Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Volumes 1,2,3,4) - I bought his book shortly after Dynasty Warriors 5 was released (I can't remember the exact date). It cost £34.99 for all four volumes and to this day it remains incompletely read. I have reached chapter 78 so far. When I bought it I was a mere thirteen years of age and so a book of 120 chapters seemed very daunting. I at first found it incredibly difficult to get into Guanzhong's poetic and long winded style of writing, but as the chapters dragged on I found I began to enjoy it more and more. His representations of the battles and the characters is very unique.

Other Stuff
I wasn't too happy about a lot of the changes made in Dynasty Warriors 6, considering my two favourites lost their sweet weapons (Zhou Yu and Zhang He I mean). I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also I never cared much for Dynasty Warriors Gundam, frankly it bored me.

I thoroughly enjoyed Warriors Orochi, the technique, speed and power system was cool and I loved the weapon fusion concept (Also Zhou Yu, Mitsuhide and Zhang He all in one team = pure ownage)
