Your favourite gaming back-up?

[JemJar]

Rangers. Six men. Two M9 bazookas. Fire It Up ability. Victory, in boots.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I prefer Fawkes, he/she is basically an invincible killing machine.

Fawkers is great up until the final scene when he acts like a total dick for no reason and gives you the metaphorical middle finger.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Alyx Vance... my faith in humanity just dropped another notch

 

[OneWingedSin]

Any 2P playing Lu Bu effectively in any Dynasty Warriors/Warriors Orochi game?

Though if you're thinking NPC, I have to go with HK-47 from the KOTOR series as well.

 

[Dmatix]

Minsc and Boo. they are Player controlled, but are not your main characters so I think they count. beside, they're too awesome not to.

Pssssh, beat you to it twice. Scan the front page

Btw peeps, this can range from anything, from a online co-op game to Super Mario.

Resident Evil 4's Ashley Graham! (If you can read that and keep a straight face, then I think you belong in a mental hall.)

In reality, I'd go with the Companion Cube. It's not completely useless by getting in the way and exchanging dialog some talentless hack thought was witty, except when it threatens to stab you. (I still have nightmares.)

Actually Ashley in the suit of armor is good because it distracts the zombies while you blow their heads off with a shotgun. She's also good for target practice

[SeniorDingDong]

King Tiger - "German Steel !"
Company of Heroes

Huge,(slow), badass tank for free that arrives instandly on the battlefield.

Dogmeat is great and everything, but he dies every 10 minutes or so.

Suprised nobody has said the Fable Dog yet.

 

[Whobajube]

Charon from Fallout 3... friggin deadly with a Chinese Assault Rifle.

 

[quack35]

Good friends who leave the safe house to rescue you from the jaws of a Smoker...

Also, a Kalashnikov AK-47 can be your best friend in a tight situation.

 

[new_age_reject]

The talisman/voodoo mask in the first Crash Bandicoot... OOGABOOGA!

Haha this!
I loved it when you got 3 masks and and you got the super one and the drums played!

 

[Woem]

Annah from Planescape: Torment. Not only is she a wonderfully hot tiefling, she is an amazing back-up. She's perfect at thieving, backstabbing and fighting and she makes for a good conversation once in a while.
