Throughout the years, we’ve come to admire the female characters in video games. One of my fondest memories of course was rescuing a certain “Princess Peach” from the evil clutches of King Koopa while I took on the role of an Italian plumber with his cousin Luigi.
Soon after, scores of games would feature memorable heroines which would later become definitive icons in this digital age.
After giving it much forethought, I decided to just list down the gmtristan.com “Top 5 most influential female video game characters”

Countdown begins when you hit jump!

5. Ada Wong – When I first saw Ada Wong in Resident Evil, I was in awe. This sexy American of Chinese decent was mysterious and intriguing. Very little was revealed about her origins, which made her character more appealing. Oh, did I mention that stiletto heels and powerful guns are the perfect match?

4. Nina Williams – Tekken, to me, is THE fighting game. I grew up with it. Although Street Fighter and the other Capcom versus games come a close second, there is something in Tekken that makes guys like me love it. Not that DOA offered bouncing boobies, the characters in Tekken had their own stories and goals. One of which is of course Nina Williams. Combine graceful and lightning quick reflexes with tight, body-fit clothes and you got yourself a winner babe!

3. Blood Rayne – Although the movie sucked, the game was rock solid. Rayne is a solid character with her very own personality. The twin blades added a strong element to the character and her violent killing methods made her unforgettable. BloodRayne was perhaps one of the first games to literally take blood and gore to the next level. But Rayne, being half-vampire, still has some good left in her.

2. Rinoa – Who could ever forget that sweet smile, that unblemished face and the perfect hair? Rinoa is the epitome of that perfect girl that we all had a “crush” on. All you ever wanted in a good female game character. Plus, Rinoa came in an age where CG was taken to the next level with Final Fantasy 8, of course. The rest, they say, is history.

1. Lara Croft – this is a no-brainer. Lara is perhaps the most popular female video game character in the world. The movie, starring one my fave babes Angelina Jolie, wasn’t so bad either – perhaps just one of the very few games-to-films which didn’t flop. There’s something sexy in a girl with British accent too. Yummy!

woohoo!! nina williams!! i’ve been following her story since tekken 3. although, i don’t have time to play anymore. if only cryo makes you that hot, i’d sign up.
nina williams number 4….my fave babe in the fighting game genre lol. and ada wong wow so sexy and mysterious and dangerous to boot lol. hey GM T you forgot to include jill valentine!!! this should’ve been a top ten girls of gaming. dagnabbit……
Good thing Nina is on the list. She’s my favorite Tekken character /lv
Aya Brea > Ada Wong :~)
I think there are others who should be given your consideration:
Samus Aran (Metroid) – Hot Chick in Mean Lookin’ Armor
– something about the glasses
Tifa Lockheart (Final Fantasy 7) – the lungs say it all
Quistis Trepe (Final Fantasy
Isabella “Ivy” Valentine (Soul Calibur) – Whip it good!
Zelda – Didn’t you try to save her in my house after 24 hours of non-stop play?
Yeah… we could make it a Top 10 thing. I’ll post an update while considering your suggestions soon
yep, I agree with Blackwolf, should be a top ten list GM T. Jill valentine, aya brea, tifa lockheart, jun kazama, there’s a whole lotta loving this list lol.
hmmm jun kazama wasn’t all that, it’s hard for me to think of jin kazama’s mom as hot. hahaha! but if you include jun, then might as well include the tekken moms like michelle (julia’s mom).
Hands Down Lara Will be on Top. Dukie Nukie even confirms she on top.
Well.. I vote these:
Tifa: [Final Fantasy 1-9] Who wouldn’t say no? She is so hot…
Nina: [Tekken]An assassin. She shot me at the heart… And her bad girl attitude can be too cool to be bad…
Julia: [Tekken]She is my favorite… Who wouldn’t like her since she is so sweet? And she saves the worlds forest like me…
Asuka: [Tekken] She is so cute. Who would hate her?
Ling: [Tekken] This high school girl is gorgeous. Too bad she got Jin… XD
Yuna: [Final Fantasy X-X3] This new hottie is so beautiful… Too bad he got Tidus. If not then she got me… Heheehehe….
[...] No, not virtual babes… I already showed you that. [...]
I wILL Vote GogO YuBarI or ChiaKi KuriYaMA!!!
LOL!
