30 Days of Gaming - Day Seven

So there's this thing going around on facebook at the moment, where you post a picture a day that fits within a specific theme. I've chosen, for my first 30 Days, to go with Gaming.

Day Seven - Favourite Gaming Couple

I don't like the vast majority of romantic couples that appear in videogames, as they always seem quite bland and purely there for fanatics to write fan-fics about. So, instead of that, I've taken this to mean "2 people that spend a lot of time together" or something similar.

With that in mind, I went for a game I've mentioned before. This game wasn't recieved well, but is a bit of a cult hit (with 73 on Metacritic).



This is Jen and Scree from Primal, released in 2003 on the Playstation 2, and they are my favourite gaming couple.

Both characters start off uncertain of eachother, cracking awkward jokes and very much disagreeing with the way eachother goes about things, but by the end of the game as details have been revealed about the characters' histories, they just meld together so perfectly.

If I haven't said it enough already, this game is perfect in so many ways, with the characterisation of these two being one of the bigger points.

Sadly the voice actor for Scree, Andreas Katsulas, passed on just three years after the release of the game. It is unlikely that Sony will ever continue the series from the mild cliffhanger ending, but we can always dream.

This is my favourite gaming couple, how about yours?
