The bromance, a term used to describe a relationship between two men who have an unbreakable bond of friendship. They rely on each other, trust each other, and above all, love each other in a soulmate kind of way - if one of the men in question were to be female, romance would no doubt take flight. Though the term was initially used to describe the deep friendship between a heterosexual man and a homosexual man, it has since moved on to a more mainstream audience as gender roles continue to fade. From films to television and books to video games, the bromance is popular enough among men and women to warrant a huge increase in the media's portrayal of these relationships. Men see it as a way to become close with their male counterparts without rousing any suspicion and women see it as adorable and cute. It's a win win situation. As the video game industry is primarily male dominated, it's no surprise that a number of bromances have found their way into our controllers as we put ourselves in the very lives of the characters directly being influenced by these relationships. But enough with the chatter and gender talk, bro. Let's talk about 10 of the greatest gaming bromances!
