LucasArts Sidekicks Rule All 14 Jan, 2004 / Comments: 6

By Metallus


Or so GameSpy would have you believe. In a recent Top 10 article, GameSpy counted down the top 10 greatest videogame sidekicks. No fewer than three LucasArts characters made it into the top five spots in this countdown, and one even took the top spot. First up is Max (of Sam and Max, guy) at number 4, followed by Murray, the talking skull of CMI (and to a lesser extent, EMI) fame in third place. But the top spot went to none other than HK-47, the murderous yet lovable protocol/meatbag-killing droid from Knights of the Old Republic.

I don't know whether Mojo readers would agree to the ordering of the list, but I happen to like HK (maybe not more than Max, however). Check out the article to read about the other sidekicks who made the list, and also a few who totally didn't.

    I like Murray, but he doesn't deserve his place on this list. Morte is clearly the superior talking skull.

    What. No Glottis? :-/

    Well Max, Murray, and HK all say really, really evil things that appeal to us all. Glottis can't really party with those guys despite being an enjoyable character.
