Top 5 Greatest Video Game Duos

Quite often in the gaming industry (mostly among fans) we look at characters as individuals and judge them on their appearance, skills, motives and over-all just how awesome they are. Well this list does just that, but instead of one person. It's two! That's right... What would Mario be without Luigi and Ratchet without Clank? Well this list here gives honor to all the duos out there who work hard, and stay awesome while doing it. To be on this list, the duo must work as a team in order to accomplish a similar goal. I only chose one duo per franchise and please keep in mind these are my picks and there's a lot of games I haven't played, but for now this my TOP FIVE GREATEST VIDEO GAME DUOS.

----------------------------------
NUMBER 5

NUMBER 5: Jackie Estacato and The Darkness
(The Darkness)

Number 5 on my list of greatest duos is Jackie and The Darkness from Top Cow's The Darkness series. The first time I was introduced to Jackie and his utterly spiteful and befriending ally was when they hit the Playstation 3 for the first time. The game had a story so compelling and atmospheric that it drew you into the characters. You felt Jackie's emotions and even at points hated the darkness, but it was still an essential part of you and without him, you wouldn't have got as far as you did. I mean, come on! Sure he pissed you a lot when he let your (SPOILER) girlfriend die, but I mean he could create a black hole out of no where... HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?

NUMBER 4

NUMBER 4: Raiden and Snake
(Metal Gear Solid)

Number 4 on my list is none other than Jack and David (Raiden and Snake) from Metal Gear Solid 2. Now a lot of people didn't like Raiden all that much, but to be honest. I think he's the best Metal Gear Solid character ever created (aside from Grayfox)! Now don't get me wrong, Snake is still one of the greatest bad-asses to ever grace gaming's fine white halls but still. Together these two managed to dominate Arsenauld Gear, take down a fleet of Tangos and so much more! Raiden and Snake will always be awesome and I can't wait to see Metal Gear Rising.

----------------------------------
NUMBER 3

NUMBER 3: Jak and Daxter
(Jak and Daxter)

Number 3 is one of the most unlikely pairs in history. A bad-ass named Jak and an Otsel (Don't know if that's how you spell it) named Daxter. Now Jak was strong and witty and Daxter was idiotic and moronic. Together these two heroes took you on more than three amazing journeys and made you laugh your ass off the whole way through. In gaming these guys should most definitely be known as legends, now everyone just keep your fingers crossed that Naughty Dog will put down Uncharted for a while and we'll see a proper Jak 4.

NUMBER 2

NUMBER 2: DELTA AND ELEANOR
(Bioshock 2) MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS


Bioshock 2 is a game that's fairly new to the market and by me saying anything about how cool this duo is here would be considered a mighty spoiler. So please be aware that whatever I say here could be considered spoilers for those of you planning to play Bioshock 2.

So let me begin my saying that is one of the strangest match-ups I've ever seen. Through out Bioshock 2 you're forced to deal with numerous terrifying yet awesome Big Sisters. Near the end once you're re-united with Eleanor she herself becomes a big sister and the two of you fight your way to freedom. Now the reason they're so awesome is because 1. Delta is one AWESOME Big Daddy. Once you see the intro, you'll fall in love with him. 2. Eleanor can do Super Ninja s**t as a Big Sister. Together these two are AWESOME and totally deserve this spot.

NUMBER 1

NUMBER 1: The Vault Dweller and His/Her Companion
(Fallout 3)

When trying to figure out who exactly to put at number one, I tryed thinking of a few things. One would be innovation towards who your duo is. The second thing was with which duo did I feel a sense of unity and accomplishment. Well for me that duo was The Vault Dweller and Fawkes (Dogmeat would sometimes tag along). I spent a lot of time playing Fallout 3. Enough to know that once you have your perfect partner, a lot of people rarely tend to seperate from them, so it wasn't fair to just choose one. That's why this spot is reserved for YOU and YOUR PARTNER! As you guys travel the wastes looking for ammo, caps and bobbleheads. Remember, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!

Mario & Luigi
