Reader Discussion: Who Is Your Favorite Video Game Pet?

It’s been a long time coming. It feels like The Last Guardian has been in development forever – we suspect some of the people reading this post weren’t alive when the game was first announced. But at long last, The Last Guardian is steering toward launch tomorrow, on December 6. You can read our full review in case you haven't made up your mind over the many years of waiting.

The game tells the emotional story of a boy and his connection to a strange creature, and the intimate focus on that pairing got us thinking about our favorite video game pets. Do you have fond memories of Mordecai’s Bloodwing in Borderlands? Maybe your adventures with Dogmeat in the Fallout series struck a chord? Did you form a bond with one of your pets in The Sims 3: Pets expansion? How about Riley the German Shepherd in Call of Duty: Ghosts?
