Great video game heroes don't always work alone, and a game's best character isn't always the one you play. Here are ten of the best supporting characters in video game history.

​As video games become more and more robust in terms of content and story development, we are greeted with characters that can feel very human. Though they live mainly off of scripted cues, they play a vital role in how games impact us.

      Agreed, many video game websites are on one extreme or the other, they either:
      A) too stuck in the 'good old days' of gaming
      B) too short sighted to remember any games that came out before they got hired to write this stuff...

    Yep, the only one I recognize is Midna.

    I expected at least one more odd-looking, diminutive character such as Clank from R&C, but you can't win them all.

    I recognized Midna and Ocelot, but that's it. There were so many good characters from times before six years ago, but none of them are detailed here.

    Ocelot single-handedly manipulates everyone (make no mistake, everyone), becomes the main antagonist of MGS4, completely takes down the system and so on and so forth.

    You called him a supporting character. You can go away now.

    Edit: Andrew Ryan too... supporting character... what kind of crack have you been smoking?
