I'm not as big a gamer as I used to be, and my exposure is pretty limited. So my list is going to be a bit strange.

The Boss [Metal Gear Solid]
Franziska von Karma [Ace Attorney]
GLaDOS [Portal; assuming this one counts?]
Blaze the Cat [Sonic]
Amaterasu [Okami]

That is an awesome pick, actually.

Unfortunately, most of them aren't actual characters, but instead walking T&A and/or a plot device. There are some great ones though, especially in RPG's.

Trip from Enslaved is a great, incredibly acted character.

A lot of characters from Bioware RPG's are a lot of fun, like Morrigan from Dragon Age and Liara from Mass Effect.

Persona 3/4 is also an obvious choice. It's the rare exception of a Japanese game set in a high school where the female characters aren't there for fan service. Chie is my all-time favourite, maybe ever, but Yukari and Mitsuru from 3 and pretty much the entire cast from 4 are also great.

I would have said Samus years ago, but the fan service suit Samus and Other M have seriously damaged my opinion of her.

Rayne from Blood Rayne 1 and 2, forget the movies, the 2 games were amazing. Loved the first over the 2nd, but still enjoy the 2nd game. A shame it ended on a cliff hanger that will never know the outcome of. I think once the first Rayne movie came out, the focus for the games died out. Still it did have 2 very cool games.

2 Lara from Tomb Raider, She gets here because the tomb raider games were fun, the old ps1 games will always have a place in my heart. I did like the jump to ps2 though, she did look better vs her blocky counter part though.

3 Cammy White from Street fighter series, love her moves, her story, her loved for cats and her thong out fit lol.

4 Selphie from FF8. I loved that game, and Selphie was fun, with her being insane on stopping the nukes, to her train song, I always wonder what she do next. Irvin was one lucky guy to end up with a crazy girl like Selphie.

5 Blaze from Streets of Rage 1 2 and 3. She was perhaps the best fighter in 1, with her speed, but took a back seat in 2 with Alex's dragon punch move kinda of made him broken. Still she kick butt in that red skirt of hers. Never cross her path or she just hit you over the head with a crowbar. Loved the first 2 games, the 3rd one did suck though.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 07-14-2014, 04:57 PM

1. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider 2013)
2. GLaDOS (Portal 2)
