    All recruitable Green units in Fire Emblem who either do nothing, wait to get attacked, or head straight for the enemy territory. ESPECIALLY ON LUNATIC.

    I just want to second BladedFalcon's comment about how Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5 should be on this list. Seriously, as much as people like to give Ashley Graham flak, at least she kept out of trouble most of the time (staying close behind Leon for the most part, and often having the decency to piss off every now and then so Leon can do his own thing). Not Sheva, though... no, she stuck with you for the whole game, gleefully wasting my ammo and health while occasionally getting herself into danger, forcing me to babysit her for the entire campaign and dragging the whole experience down (though she wasn't the only thing wrong with Resident Evil 5, I'll admit). Also, even if you got a buddy to control her, they'd have to deal with the awkwardness of her being left-handed and thus, be forced to adjust to the camera aiming over her left shoulder which just feels... weird (especially if you aren't left-handed), meaning she's gonna be bringing the experience down somehow. Seriously, screw Sheva and screw Resident Evil 5's dreadful partner mechanic.

    Nailing my colours to the mast here - I quite like Navi. I will defend her honour to the death.

    Hah number 3 was a nice twist, especially because I am that guy.

    Natalya in Goldeneye 64. Oh god Natalya in Goldeneye 64.

    You forgot to mention Ashley from Resident Evil 4, WHO IS USELESS!!!!!! I remember that damn dog from Duck Hunt, kept trying to shoot him, but it never worked.
  • BaraChat - April 15, 2013 5 p.m.

    Some guys in Battlefield clearly play for the points, because reviving someone while you're still being shot at in the open is just freaking dumb, since you'll re-die 0.5 second later and the medic himself will most likely suffer the same fate. So instead of trying to progress and eliminate enemies and be useful, you basically commit suicide for 100 points and give false hope to an already fallen teammate. Great job!

    Crap list, where's Elizabeth from Bioshock infinite? She's so annoying in combat, she keeps blurting out crap one liners in combat like "Booker!" and "Have some ammo". When I died for the first time Elizabeth injected Booker with what must have been Heroin or something and got Booker addicted so despite that I was playing like a total ace Booker would keep dieing anyway so that bitch could give him his heroin fix. And the cherry on the cake is she has the tenacity to move away when I aim my gun at her head, seriously just die so I can get back to 360 noscoping handymen.

    hahahaha
  • JMarsella09 - April 15, 2013 4:37 p.m.

    I love how we've digressed to a point in gaming sidekicks where Ashley is no longer considered that bad.
  • JMarsella09 - April 15, 2013 4:41 p.m.

    To clarify, Resident Evil 4.
  • slimjim441 - April 15, 2013 5:10 p.m.

    I was honestly thinking the same. But I don't know if she qualifies as a 'sidekick.'
  • tehtimeisnow - April 15, 2013 4:28 p.m.

    the most worst sikdekick in gameing is the wiiu cuz its a stuped pile of garbege not even a next genratoin systam just a sidkieick 2 the wii so u can just called it the wii 1.1
  • SomeOddGuy - April 15, 2013 2:44 p.m.

    Aww... Just reading this article, I was expecting that worthless piece of crap AI Sheva to have been included into the Article... I have never been so pissed off over the fact she would waste all my ammo on a boss without ever hitting the vital parts of it, let alone get caught up by an executioner and just freaking stand there to die...
  • KielbasaNinja - April 15, 2013 2:15 p.m.

    I hate Zeke from the first Infamous game more than I hate GamesRadar and this article combined :P
  • BladedFalcon - April 15, 2013 4:12 p.m.

    Yeah... except Zeke becomes a sooo much better character in the second, it pretty much negates his failure as a person in the first one.
  • Hollander_Cooper - April 15, 2013 4:24 p.m.

    But he was SO GOOD in the sequel!
