Naming the best videogame romances has been done has been done to death, so we decided to put on our matchmaking hats and focus on the best cross-title hookups that haven’t happened yet (and barring any imaginative fanfic, never will).
1) Master Chief (Halo) & Samus (Metroid)
This couple would need to ditch their armor to consummate the relationship, but their respective hi-tech suits are so sophisticated, maybe they wouldn’t.
2) Princess Peach (Super Mario Bros.) & Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog)
Sorry Mario: it’s clear that Princess Peach has a bad boy complex (why else would she allow herself to be “kidnapped” by Bowser all the time?) so something tells us she’d really hit it off another game mascot’s arch nemesis.

3) Nathan Drake (Uncharted) & Jade (Beyond Good & Evil)
Although Nathan and Lara Croft seem like a perfect match, a better fit for Uncharted’s hero would be the BG&E’s photojournalist/heroine since he had such great chemistry with TV reporter Elena in his own game.
4) Kratos (God of War) & Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
As seen in God of War II, Kratos can get a bit kinky. We’re not sure if Lara is that adventurous, but she would find it hard to resist Kratos’ roots in Greek mythology.

5) Yuna (Final Fantasy X) & Niko Bellic (Grand Theft Auto IV)
Yuna sees the good in everyone: a quality that will help get past Niko’s temperamental nature and see his softer side.
