10 Video Game Bosses Who Can Secretly Join Your Team
8. Zombies - Saints Row: The Third
Saints Row: The Third is one of the wackiest entries in the series and this goes not only for its questlines and characters, but also the companions that tag along for your misadventures in Steelport.
Like other Saints Row games, the third installment allows you to call on different homies to assist you when exploring the city. You unlock most of them throughout the story simply by completing missions, but there are also a few secret homies that can only be recruited when you meet specific requirements.
One of these secret companions is a ravenous horde of zombies!
Halfway through the game, your character has to fight off an entire zombie apocalypse after an undead virus is accidentally released on one of Steelport's islands. Your goal is to stop the plague from spreading, but towards the end of the mission you get to choose between giving the virus to the government in order to contain it, or keeping it for yourself.
Picking the latter allows you to turn the undead menace into friends, giving you the ability to summon a miniature apocalypse with the click of a button.
Zombies and gangsters. A match made in hell.
