Oh brother where art thou?



Blood is thicker than water, nowhere is this more true than in the world of video games. While the real world has Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus and Ed and David Miliband; the gaming world has its share of siblings, and I'm not just talking about a certain pair of Italian plumbers- here's a few of gaming's family ties, some are memorable and some not so much.

Paxton Fettle and The point man- Fear 1, 2 and 3.



Life can be hard when your a member of the first encounter assault recon team, especially when your sent after your cannibal rogue soldier bother who wants to help your un-dead psychic mother give birth to a all new member of your messed up military experiment gone wrong family tree.
Hell have no furry like the clone armies of a dead woman scorned! 

 J.C. and Paul Denton- Deus Ex


Suspiciously similar trench coat combo J.C. and Paul Denton work for UNATCO, fighting the terrorist group the NSF.
Both heavily augmented with bio upgrades to make them faster, stronger and smarter that run of the mill human agents, these two have been tricked into believing their parents died in a car crash and that they are regular brothers.
After betrayal, conspiracy, some more betrayal and just a little more conspiracy on top of that the brothers find that they are in fact clones created by the sinister Page  industries as a test run for Bob Page's shot at immortality and cyber godhood. Bummer, still it will make for good story around the Denton family Christmas table this year.
