Best of side kicks from the gaming world. Yes, behind every successful video game hero, no, you get it wrong, it’s not a woman, but stands a great sidekick. And the tragedy is all the same everywhere, whether it’s a smart Hollywood flick or the gaming world, they don’t get any recognition, no one knows them, it’s a kind of thankless job these supporting characters perform game after game. Don’t we buy games for the leading names and not for the supporting pals?
