I still prefer princess Prin Prin from Ghosts'n Goblins....

Ugh most of those looked like freaks:(

Why'd they pick only the weird ones? It's not like there are no pretty females in games. Aerie from Baldur's Gate looks prettier:

She had a nice personality too.

Rayne on #5 ? What a joke.

Rayne is #1, everybody knows that.

-27 reps? WTF

It mentions Heavy Rain, yet (predictably) can't find a good picture from it because the characters are all on the ugly side of Uncanny Valley.

Not the best list. A agree with lukasz. Alyx has a perfectly understated hotness. The ones listed are mostly manufactured for the interests of teenage boys.

For teenage boys? Nothing. But it does look kinda forced in a 'you're supposed to find this sexually attractive' kind of way.

There is a fair difference between finding a girl hot and being ORDERED to find a girl hot

It's the circulation of lists like this that make gaming look juvenile, something made for 12 year old boys.

I'd be far more interested in a list of top 10 compelling female characters.

I see the author escaped again from whatever slash fic forum they were hiding him in.

Because it's pandering to the audience instead of finding compelling and intelligent ways to sell a game. Instead of making a great game, let's just put a big pair of boobs on the box and make the female character scantily clad.

Would people still remember Bloodrayne if the protagonist wasn't a female with huge boobs? No, because that was the whole hook of the game.

Same with Wet, a mediocre game that just happened to have a hot chick in it.

Granted, some of the games on that list are good, but obviously somewhere down the line someone doubted the quality of the product and wanted to sex it up a bit.

My issue is that we live in an age where if you want to find hot girls to ogle, they are just a few keystrokes away, so if you have that desire, there's an alternative that looks a lot better than any of these digitized characters.

I want my games to be about the gameplay, the world and the story and it's hard to get immersed in a game when I'm playing Laura Croft in the middle a snowstorm and she's got on a tight fitting undershirt and shorts. It's silly, unrealistic and distracts me from the actual game.

Feminist here.

Want to have a discussion? :)

I did recommend the pixel strippers from D3D

Thinking about it know, id go for Liara T'Soni, Hell lets get freaky and add in Matriarch Benezia... its there culture why not...

oh and you wanna really get freaky.... Tali'Zorah Nar Rayya I don't know how yet but i'd figure out a way!

Also How about the Lusty Argonian Maid OMG that would rock so hard....

There's nothing wrong with having eye candy in games. Of course, it's useless as porn, as the images aren't life-like - that's not the the point. The point is that it makes the game a little more enjoyable without major effort, and that adds value.

As most gamers are male, it makes sense to add things that guys like. Most fantasy novels are similarly targeted towards females - nobody complains about that.

The goal when making a product is to increase sales by offering what your customers want. If you try to inject your own political/religious views into your product, you may lose sales if your customers don't agree with them or if they enjoy them less as a result.

Where's Sylvanas?

Teh list sukz!
