<\/a><\/p>\nLloyd Banks (50 Cent: Blood on the Sand)<\/h3>\n
Lloyd Banks \u2013 hip-hop artist, hustler and member of G-Unit. Unfortunately, all of Lloyd\u2019s self-proclaimed swagger couldn\u2019t outshine that of 50 Cent, as Banks became nothing more than a cannon-fodder sidekick in 50 Cent\u2019s second video game: Blood on the Sand.<\/p>\n
While the game was surprisingly fun and interesting, Lloyd\u2019s primary goal was to help \u2018Fiddy\u2019 get his diamond-encrusted skull back (it was 50\u2019s after all). Lloyd Banks did however pack a punch and deliver some ridiculously profane lines throughout the game which made us all laugh, not to mention his loyalty to 50.<\/p>\n

Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog series)<\/h3>\n
What bizarre creature could go hand-in-hand with a blue hedgehog that runs fast? Why an anthropomorphic fox with two tails that can fly of course.<\/p>\n
Tails, in some strange way, is the perfect sidekick for Sonic. Sonic\u2019s got the speed, but one thing he lacks is the ability to take to the skies, and that\u2019s where Tails comes in. Tails helps Sonic get airborne by giving him a lift in times of need. This didn\u2019t only help Sonic beat Robotnik\/Eggman on a number of occasions, but also made Sonic a hero among the gaming community.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leonardo Da Vinci (Assassin\u2019s Creed 2)<\/h3>\n
Now Leo doesn\u2019t necessarily follow Ezio wherever he goes, but who better to be your sidekick than one of the greatest inventors of all time.<\/p>\n
He builds weapons and devices to help Ezio in his assassinations, and always has a smile on his face when Ezio has a problem that needs solving. In our books, that\u2019s a buddy worth keeping.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sheva Alomar (Resident Evil 5)<\/h3>\n
Calling Sheva a \u201csidekick\u201d is a little bit of an insult. It\u2019s like calling Dom a sidekick to Marcus in Gears of War – the two are more partners than anything and practically brothers. The same can be said for Sheva (besides the whole \u201cbrother\u201d thing) in Resident Evil 5, as she became more than support and backup to the series’ on and off again protagonist, Chris Redfield.<\/p>\n
Sheva really held her own and kicked some serious zombie ass when things got ugly in the motherland. The only reason she falls a bit by the wayside is due to Mr. Redfield’s celebrity-like status. His biceps are so big; he practically becomes a sidekick to them, but that doesn\u2019t mean Sheva is any less a fighter, as she can deliver one hell of a roundhouse kick and fire a bazooka with ease while still looking good \u2013 and that\u2019s what we all look for in a sidekick.<\/p>\n
