PETA beware! Dead to Rights: Retribution hits the streets this month. This means that players, as Jack Slate, will once again be sending out their loyal attack wolf-dog to get shot, kicked, and whacked with a newspaper. Shadow is a pretty tolerant dog to put up with these suicide runs, but this time around he's a key element in the game (even able to take out enemies with, uh, "testi-kills").
Of course, the canine killa is only the latest in a long of integral gaming companions; players' in-game buddies have evolved over the years to be everything from steeds to boxes to maybe-lovers (should our slashfic come true and a Delta Force happy hour get extra-frisky); we've developed strong attachments to the following characters. Which is why we never needed real friends.
AGRO, SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
Complex Says: Yeah, we know some of you are into the whole "Agro-surfing" thing, but haven't any of you seen The Neverending Story? We could never snuff Agro after having that swamp scene seared into our heads.
