There have been some classic combos in popular culture: Batman and Robin, Captain America and Bucky, Starsky and Hutch. However, there are some gaming sidekicks that are more of a pain than anything else.
A list I've created which includes what I think the best music/songs in video games till now. This is only the first part. I will be adding the next part as soon as I decide part II's music.
There are a lot of great games that appeared on Nintendo's first handheld system the Game Boy. Nintendo recently announced that the 3DS would have a virtual console service where gamers could download Game Boy and Game Boy Color classics.

"Since there are literally hundreds of thousands of games out there, it’s no easy task for lead characters to make a lasting impression on the player. Once in a while however, you'll come across a leader that's different. Somehow, that character manages to set himself apart from the others."
The PSOne, which is home to some of the best games of all-time, recently turned 15 years old. Here are 15 of the best titles on the system to play during the anniversary.
The article covers some of the best PS1 games of all time, but there are also a couple of surprises that may come as a little bit of a shock to some. Nevertheless, please do come in and possibly give some of these games a play as they are the pinnacle of gaming goodness.
"Since the God of War collection was remastered on PS3 I’ve been thinking, there’s many more classics that were released on the PS2 that I would love to be released on the PS3 in high definition and include some trophies in there, that’s a dream come true. The God of War collection brought back some amazing memories while I played it. I’m sure you all know that feeling you get when you play a game you haven’t touched in years, it’s a really nice feeling. Anyway, here are the games that NEED to..."
"While the women in fighting games tend to get the most attention for being considered "sexy", their cousins in the action genre are out shooting it up and exploring boundaries well beyond the confines of a ring. Just because these characters are rendered in more than bikinis doesn't mean they're not sexy.
The action genre has been dominated by male characters since the creation of gaming. But there have been a few exceptions to the rule of sexes. And of course, these female exceptions have..."
Not a lot has been done with the stealth genre through the past years. While we're starting to see games incorporating aspects of stealth, few can claim to be truly "innovative." However, thanks to the following five games and franchises, we have seen amazing changes in gaming and the stealth genre as a whole.
"A brief look at the villains from your favourite books and films will reveal some common personality traits; they're all a few sandwiches short of a picnic. This is of course true of video games too, with many antagonists - who are more often than not found in the form of boss battles incidentally - displaying qualities that would suggest they're not quite with it upstairs.
Here then, are the ten most psychotic characters that have appeared in video games."
"Valentines Day is just around the corner and as intoxicating aerial aromas go, love is in the air. Some of gaming’s favourite characters have had their own share of love in recent years and it’s time to take a look back at some of the greatest relationships, flirting and canoodeling that brought a tear to our eyes, or made us sick to our stomachs."
Famitsu recently surveyed their readers on who their favorite video game character of all time was. After further review and nominees, the magazine narrowed it down to 50 candidates, and the poll results are in! Beating out some of Nintendo's most beloved icons, as well as the recognition for characters such as Cloud Strife and Ryu, Solid Snake came out wearing the gold.
Japan's list are changing ever-so-often though, so who knows what the next poll will bring. Be sure to check out the lis...
Looks aren't everything, and these games can prove it. In one of the most influential decades for gaming we've highlighted ten games from the 90s that have the ability to transcend the ravages of time. Did your favorite game make the list?
The year of 2009 saw the release of many high-profile PSOne Classics on the North American Playstation Store. So which of the classic titles were the best?
"I love Metal Gear Solid, in fact there has never been a franchise that has amazed me and left me speechless quite like this franchise has. In fact the question was asked of me recently if you could meet anyone famous who would it be; my reply was Hideo Kojima, because he created, in my eyes, the most amazing franchise ever made.
Metal Gear Solid changed my gaming life. The experiences I had are still vivid in my mind, and I often recall moments when I first experienced them. Though some ma..."
The rumors that Christian Bale will play the role of Solid Snake in a possible Metal Gear Solid movie were recently squashed by Bale himself. So that leaves the door open for any actor to play the role if the movie is indeed ever created.
But which actor would make a good Solid Snake? Go to the source for kokugamer.com's Top 5 Movie Actors Who Could Play Solid Snake...
"It can happen to anyone: let's say you are watching a film with your parents, and an insanely vulgar display of crude sexual imagery comes up on the screen. In your mind you are torn between laughing as the film has intended or trying your best to act repulsed as to make your parents think you have a better sense of morals than you really do.
This type of thing can happen in many situations, and they especially occur in video games. Whether it be a mistranslation, or an overt act of zanines..."
"Video games have evolved into a much greater power from their early days of 8-bit fetushood. They are inching one step closer to mimicking reality and that means they can do more than feed your need for harmless, consequence-free violence. Some can make your skin crawl, almost to the point that it can learn how to walk. Here are the level bosses that still haunt our left and right lobes."
"Generally, the first rule when it comes to rescuing hostages is ‘don’t let everybody get horribly done in.’ But sadly, this proves too much of a stumbling block for many game heroes. Be it accidentally killing geriatrics with a killer virus or letting the damsel in distress get crushed by a cow, the following rescue missions all get botched. Spectacularly."
Screwattack counts down the Top 10 'Wimps' In Video Games. Who do you think will be at the top?

"There's nothing like a steamingly camp villain to really set off a game plot with a bang (and a mince and a girly titter). There's just something about a preening effeminate bad guy that instantly undermines a hero, no matter what abilities and attributes said doer of good might have. He's threatening to destroy the world? Pah. He's threatening to destroy the world in lip liner!? Christ, he must be confident.
And that's to say nothing of the countless enemies who are hilariously camp purel..."

"Every game has a different storyline and different factors driving that storyline, but all games have one factor in common. That one factor is the bad-ass whose music or voice sends chills up your spine when you hear it and you know what's about to happen. Each villain is different and each has it's own way of doing things. To make this list they have to have done something either extremely evil, have a truly dark and deprived past, or simply make the player soil themselves when they make the..."
