Tails. I love Tails. I can't tell you how many times I've been fighting Robotnik and lost all my rings only to have Tails catch a single ring, ensuring that I don't die the next time I get hit and thereby saving my ass.

Also, Francis. His complaining and hatred of everything is hilarious.
"Is there anything you DON'T hate?"
"Vests. I don't hate vests."

Anyone who steps over my prone body to shoot the zombies away from me in L4D. Seriously? If that happened in real life, my firstborn would immediately have a namesake.

I would have to pick the three dragons during the last few battles in Viking: Battle for Asgard. You tell 'em where to fire, and they blow that shit up.
My least favourite would be my one buddy who ruined my Crackdown game. He killed the very last boss in my game, that just pissed me off.

Yes, the one thing that hasn't earned his contempt. I bet a vest would be pretty comfortable when the zombie apocalypse inevitably hits. Doesn't offer much protection but I guess you don't need protection if you're Francis.

Edit: wordsmith, I do that in L4D all the time. I've given it serious reconsideration a few times because of how many people I've saved from impending doom run right past me when I'm incapacitated.

I feel bad if I don't, though.

hell naw none of these compare with any of the people from farcry 2. the mercy kills...terrible.
or if you prefer craziness try "the zombies" from stubbs.
and on the subject of fallout 3 the only teammate worth mentioning is charon.

Garrus and Wrex, hands down. I can't decide between them, but I love them both.

You know what's best about them though? They're so freekin' alien. I love it. I mean, when it comes to choosing your squad in Mass Effect there are 2 humans, a bio-hazard suit that may as well be human, and a human with blue skin and in-built corn rows. The only true aliens you can pick are Garrus and Wrex, and they're both badass. The way Wrex says "...Shepard" after you finish speaking to him always makes me smile.

Of course, when it came to the firefights, they were pretty useless. Which is why I also vote for my entire stash of ammo in Stranger's Wrath.

Garrus! The guy (girl? Think about it) is amazing! Liara is pretty cool too, but that's just because she has singularity, that's the best ability in the game hands-down.

I thought of a few more:

Pazzo from Castle Crashers because that's probably the best name ever heard of for a dog.

Plus there's Aku-aku (or whatever) from Crash Bandicoot who was a serious nut-job. Not so much in the new ones though, he looks like a monkey instead of the cool Tiki-head he used to be.

Rush from Mega Man - partly because he looks damn cool, but mostly because he's really usefull.

I like the hordes of mindless minions from Star Wars FPS games.

GO MY MINIONS! Absorb those bullets for me! MWAHAHAHAHAHA
