Games on sidekick

Very useful indeed. His undoing, unfortunately, was a rather intense addiction to honey. Pass a pool of it and ol' Elum was all too quick to abandon his rider for a quick feed. The remedy? Angry bees. Animal cruelty? Perhaps, but the on-off relationship between one man or mudokon and his steed is one that can't be underestimated. Especially when bloodthirsty monsters are hot on your tail. It would therefore be unfair to refer to it as a 'side-kick'. The Darklings Darkness-created imps at the player's beckon call , on the other hand, sport all the qualities of both sidekick, henchman and hideously deformed pet.

Able to perform a range of duties from gunning down enemies to kamikaze missions, the Darklings are a versatile and indeed well dressed, if you can find the right clothing sets bunch of psychotic gremlins.

In fact, the expression 'gremlin' might be a fairly accurate one because, much like Gizmo's destructive brothers, Darklings have a rather low tolerance of 'bright light, bright light! I could go on. Lucky for Professor Layton fans then, because Layton's self confessed 'apprentice' isn't actually that annoying at all a lot of the time.

In fact, he's got something of a brain on him, which is certainly a testament. Who can blame him? I mean, he's living in a world of perpetual puzzle-solving, who wouldn't need to be on the ball? A young Dr Watson to Layton's Holmes, little Luke Triton actually offers up the charming dueteragonist many story-tellers had hoped for before and failed miserably to achieve. Hopefully we shall see more young 'uns doing the 'sidekick' role proud yet in this article Everyone has their favourite; whether it be corrupt Vice detective Roy Earle or traffic partner Bekowsky he certainly seems to be one of the friendliest.

But none of them comes close to Rusty Galloway of Homicide. An old school detective who's not afraid to throw away the book when coming face-to-face with the bad guys, Rusty can often be lazy, sassy, a borderline alcoholic and consistently misogynistic he's been divorced a few times.

All 'qualities' which make for one very seasoned, but also thoroughly amusing sidekick. Plus, let's all be honest, 'Homicide' is by far the 'coolest' department to be in CSI can eat its heart out , with some of the most memorable cases in the entire game. And it wouldn't be the same without our man Rusty. No partner quite measures up by comparison. That's because, I think it's fair to say, she was intolerably irritating. Why couldn't Ganondorf have swiped her instead of the lovely Zelda?

Needless to say, Navi required a replacement by the time of the release of the Nintendo Wii's Twilight Princess , one who wouldn't drive the gamer to bloody murder. Enter Midna , a diminuitive imp-like 'Twili' who has it in her to give 'Wolf-Link' all the best advice without becoming so infuriating that you're desperately seeking an electric fly-swatter.

Better still, completion of the main game allows players to see Midna in her glorious 'true form' and hot-blooded males will be more than happy to know that their loveavle blue partner-in-crime was nothing less than a bonafide beauty the whole time. Alas, many nostalgia-inspired gamers will still argue that Navi was the original and, therefore, best sidekick of the two.

For you people, just imagine she's got a spot at 21 and move on. In the case of Rare's bear and bird partnership, it seems that the feathered Kazooie is this unfortunate individual. Of course, there's no shame in being a sidekick as we're all finding out and Banjo's adventures would be short-lived indeed if it weren't for his oddly convienient accomplice. It's not often a sidekick can happily fold him or herself away into a rucksack, for example, let alone one which can fire eggs and give enemies a good old whack of the wings.

And don't be fooled into thinking Banjo's always the one exhausting himself: when flipped over Kazooie can even do the running for a period of time, carrying the hefty bear while he takes a load off. Talk about playing fair.

It goes without saying any intrepid traveller would do well to have their own Kazooie in a back-pack Disclaimer: keeping birds in your bag is not a good idea. Your ship is trashed and you've but precious days left until you run out of oxygen. You find giant, sharp-teethed predators dwelling in the woodlands and general peril at every concievable turn. Pretty scary, right? Be nice if say, for example, a side-kick could just pop out of the ground and give you a hand.

Heck, make it two. Or three. Or a hundred. And imagine that the help these little side-kicks offered was unconditional.

Imagine all you had to do was toot a horn or blow a whistle and they'd be at your beckon call, offering themselves up for all the most dangerous tasks such as pouncing on sharp-teethed monsters, carrying explosives and generally letting you hurtle them about wherever you please. I think I've made my point. Pikmin are, without doubt, unmatched when it comes to team-work.

Call them henchmen, if you will, but to me every pikmin plays a key side-kick role to tiny hero Captain Olimar. They're what lemmings could have been if they had a leader with half a brain.

Adorable, loyal and flat-out dangerous if you're in their way. We all wish we had pikmin. Let's be honest, which of us males hasn't dreamt of a day when all computer A. This gets me to wondering, however, if lonely space-nerds had been assigned the task of creating the Cortana AI.

Don't let her alluring appearance fool you, however. Cortana's a learning computer; one able to adapt and expand beyond her pre-programmed parameters. She's adept at hacking alien systems and decoding transmissions and even manages to find space in her massive brain for a sense of humour. Without her, Chief would be blind, deaf and dumb in a wealth of situations. Practical and pleasing aestheticallly, Cortana is the sci-fi geek's dream of the companion of tomorrow.

Originally an officer of the Citadel's C-Sec Investigation Division, Garrus holds the principle of justice at the highest regard easily with as much conviction as any beloved superhero. Create a unique outcome every time. Works seamlessly with other presentation apps.

All of the games and activities in one place! Also the ability to personalize the games is amazing! I love the idea of creating something to use with students, for students.

Giving them some ownership and a simple way to show them could be game changing. My favorite thing about Sidekick is the way you can customize every game to be unique for your context, and you can do it on the fly while the game is being played. I also really love how the different games within Sidekick use animation and sound effects. It just feels very professional. I will get a lot of use out of Pick Me, Leaderboard, and Boxes.
