40 Best Supporting Video Game Characters Ever
Sometimes it is the lesser characters, the supporting cast, the good and bad that makes a game truly stand out and come to life.
Video games are awesome, we all know that. They allow us to escape the dreariness of so called real life (except The Sims obviously) and become someone else for a little while. But what defines video games, alongside awe inspiring shots of things blowing up, are the characters within.
