6. You Say He's Just A Friend (Saints Row IV)
[note to editor - sorry, I made a mistake with the title. Can you change it to "Just A Friend - Saints Row IV"? Sorry for the inconvenience]
From one inspired licensed music choice to another, "Just A Friend" was the perfect farewell for the Saints Row series.
The Saints Row games had a rather tumultuous history, with each entry varying wildly in quality and tone before settling on the wacky excesses of Saints Row III & IV (especially IV). But one thing that always stood out was the series' belief in family, long before Fast & Furious made the word a meme.
The Saints comprised one of gaming's greatest gangs - a group of puckish rogues/lunatic sociopaths who raised hell and had a whole ton of fun doing it. Listening to the cast come together for one final sing along was the perfect goodbye for the series, and left long-time fans with a smile on their face and a tear in their eye (especially as the closing words are provided by none other than the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan).
Favourite lyric - You, you got what I need / But you say he's just a friend / And you say he's just a friend. Yes, it's the obvious choice, but that's only because its so much fun to sing along to.
