Best gaming side kick

Postby Bob on Thu Nov 03, 2011 4:46 pm

Ok so a lot of games feature really annoying side kicks.. but for every duffer there's some side kick gold.

But whose the best?

Vote, discuss.. put your case forward..

Anyone who puts a decent case for a side kick will get it included in the poll.

Robin from Batman Arkham City. Minor spoiler.

"HI BATMAN IT'S ME ROBIN I'VE COME TO SAVE YOU!"

"Fuck off back to the Batcave you weird child and look into a microscope for me"

Exuent Robin
If in doubt, put the kettle on.

Cortana is the perfect side kick - she has all the info Master Chief needs and usually manages to deliver it just after it would have been useful. Go sidey go.

Best sidekick ever...

Obviusly Clank. To me Cortana was just some blue bitch who decided to keep popping up.

Best by far has to be either Fawkes from Fallout 3 or Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect 1 2 and probably 3

Every time Fawkes ran into battle he did so with a cry of joy about beating someone to death to feel alive

Garrus was just one cool dude. Never fazed. Awesome

For me it has to be a threeway tie between Garrus, Thane and Legion!

If we're talking about Mass Effect Tali is my favourite. Overall it is a tough one though. Tali and Sully are definitely up there with the best of them.

Tali was an amazing improvement in the second game.
The voice actress should be proud of her work there

Hmmm just like Bayonetta's voice actress too hubba hubba

Plus he's not really a side kick is he?

He's a team mate.. different thing.
