While video games can cover almost every aspect of life and fantasy, they scarcely get recognized for the propelling proponent of life: Love. Let's stand up and recognize the couples that are overshadowed by things like mushrooms, swords, and guns.
Although Sonic seems to have the reputation of moving fast in all aspects of his life, the most memorable girl to which he would slow down is Amy Rose, whose insistance on her girlfriend status drew Sonic in ever so slightly.
Even someone as bad and manly as Solid Snake can't help but fall under the spell of another woman. While their relationship is also hush-hush and subtle, you can feel the love emitting from their smoking guns.
Yet another combination that is perhaps reflective of most shy male gamers, Half-Life 2's Gordon and Alyx are another ambiguous couple, their unclear status perpetuated by Gordon's deep silence.
Perhaps the couple most remembered in gaming history are Hana and Rain, the irresistibly hot, lesbian pair from Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix. Are they just an excuse to satisfy most people's deepest fantasy or are they a genuine couple whose two souls are made for each other? The judgement is up to you.
This extra jiggly female fighter from the King of Fighters series has her eyes on only one guy, and that's Andy Bogard, Terry Bogard's brother. Their relationship is probably one of the most grounded, being that they openly show their affections...sometimes.
