"When it comes to pop culture and science fiction tropes, the all-seeing artificial intelligence the either helps or impedes the protagonists efforts has created some memorable moments. From the moment HAL 9000 went rogue in 2001: A Space Odyssey to the genocidal actions of AM in Harlan Ellisons I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, the proliferation of sentient virtual beings has spilled over into our sci-fi-based videogames, as well. While GLaDOS may be heralded as one of the most cleverly-written A.I. characters in recent memory, we think there are some others that deserve just as much praise. Be it a malevolent, all-seeing stalker or a wise-cracking sidekick, we present to you some of the best AI videogame characters that have zilch to do with cake." - Pixelitis Staff
