Memorable Video Game Dogs

Marcus Estrada writes: "We all know that dogs are (supposedly) man’s best friend but they actually don’t show up a ton in video games. Valiant Hearts: The Great War recently provided players with an intense historically-driven experience via its cast of unique characters - including a medical dog. Seeing this dog utilized in the game made me think about other video games which have utilized dogs in some manner. What were some of the best dog sidekicks or playable pups? Here are the ones that stand out most to me."

I am surprised that Chop (GTAV) didn't merit an honourable mention, not least for his sh@gg!ng abilities.

WTF how did Dogmeat not make the list? or Rex?

TheROsingleB3562d ago

Right? I came to this list expecting Dogmeat from Fallout 3 and Barbas from Skyrim.
The thing about Barbas is that he was essentially a non-killable companion as long as you never finished the "A Daedra's best friend" quest.
How is that not memorable?

THe one from duck hunt.

And the one from MDK 2, MAX.

DeadRabbits3562d ago

First time I jumped in fear at a game was resi evil when a zombie dog jumped through the window. So Zombie dog should be there!

Goro3562d ago

Dog's Life was an awesome game back in the day, i miss Jake's adventures...

WeAreLegion3562d ago

Same here. I'd love another one.

Very underrated title. I also wish for a sequel.

Limitedtimestruggle157d ago

I found Haunted Grounds still sealed at a Salvation Army store, but it's the PAL version lol.

I grew up in a country where we didnt have the majority of consoles you guys had in the rest of the world. My consoles were a Sega 16, and a Microgenius (which I think was a knock off Nintendo NES), I traveled to UK once as a child and bought a Sega Mortal Kombat game, but it was a Sega Genesis (or whatever it was called), and the damn game wouldnt fit into my console. I resorted to cutting the edges of the cartridge to get it to fit in my desperation (imagine that)! Lol

Needless to say it wouldn't run it.

Limitedtimestruggle155d ago

Damn lol! Our first home console was the Sega Master System! Played the controllers to shambles, the console is still live and kicking though!

NIce! I got .hack/QUARANTINE

jznrpg157d ago

I have some of these games but I have played them. Still worth a good amount though and they’re in great condition.

P_Bomb157d ago

I’ve got Shattered Memories. Can’t remember if I beat it or not.

It’s sooooo janky but the story is so good and the agent is so quirky I loved it thouroughly, the story is that good that you can actually make it through all of its jankiness and issues .
It’s a diamond in the rough and rough is saying lighly.
This game deserves a remake out of any game I can think of .
If they fixed the combat ,driving and movement this would be one of my favorite games all time and it already is in a way.

The first time I turned on my flashlight was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a game. His suit just sort of lights up. There's no physical flashlight in his hand--hilarious. It's also the only game I've played to truly capture the delightfull quirkiness of Twin Peaks. I'm with you on how much I like this game. Despite all of its flaws, it's a genuinely fun experience. "My coffee warned me about it," is probably my favorite line of all time in any video game.

I still haven't played the sequel, but I will some day.

shinoff2183438d ago

I enjoyed this back during ps3 days. I'd buy it again if they re released it fixed up a little. I had fun with it.

ok I believe that Deadly Premonition 2 scene described in the article, takes the cake! Although one could argue that there are so many memorable ridiculous moments in this game.

Wish the F.E.A.R. franchise would get resurrected.
