Here are Harrys top ten videogame rivalries…
Most videogames thrive on conflict, and nothing says conflict like a good old-fashioned rivalry.
Where would Batman be without the Joker?
Where would Dastardly and Mutley be without that pigeon?
Where would nice tasting food be without hummus?
In a happier place, probably, but thats not the point.
Sonic and Robotnik hate each other, plain and simple.
Master Chief vs The Covenant
Few enmities run as deep as that between The Covenant and Master Chief.
Except the pub is space, and the quiz is intergalactic war.
And I guess in this simile, the questions are bullets.
Basically the same though.
Leading Brutal Deluxe from league newcomers to hardened, steely-eyed professionals is one of the greatest experiences in gaming.
Much imitated but never bettered,Speedball 2is a classic, and so are its rivalries.
This in turn fostered a strange sort of animosity between players of different allegiances.
Their rivalry inevitably centres on a woman, Elaine Marley, whom both man and zombie/ghost/demon love.
Earth vs Invaders
Earth is always getting invaded.
Space war is hell, and involves lots of well regimented lines of enemies.
Ryu vs Sagat
The rivalry between Ryu and Sagat is a heart warming one.
Especially now, with the advent of wireless gaming.
These two will be rivals when everyone else on this list is a mere flicker of memory.
