Title: Cornell not Included: X-Play's Five Best Wolves in Gaming
Post by: Lumi Kløvstad on January 27, 2012, 10:39:24 PM: Amaterasu had no chance of not making this list. (http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/720286/top-5-wolves-in-videogaming/)

And yet... it's a shame neither Cornell merited a mention. Especially when his was one of the few halfway decent designs in Judgment, and his story in LoD was actually kind of sweet.
Lords was... well... Lords.

For the sake of discussion, would you alter this list in any way?

I'd personally like to include the wolves that accompanied Sniper Wolf in the Metal Gear Solid games. I don't know. They're just kind of... emotional.

Also: honorable mentions to Freki and Geri from Devil May Cry 2. They were actually kind of fun minibosses in a game plagued with bad fights.

I can understand ranking something that was common in gaming, such as zombies or ninjas, but wolves? Off the top of my head, the only ones I could think of were Cornell, Amaterasu, and the Twilight Princess wolf form.

maybe because they're not popular enough in the general gaming community to make it in the list?
