Choosing the top 10 video game girls is not only a difficult thing to do, I think it’s almost impossible, however, I have a few options that I would like to mention. This is ANY woman in ANY game on ANY game console available to men! Obviously some of these are factual like Lara Croft and others? Not so much. I’m not even going to bother listing them in chronological order because it’s just plain crazy! Most likely, video games are designed to appeal to boys or the male gender in general. The video game companies that cater to these “men” have created several different female characters that make these guys really feel like it’s okay to play a female role just because it’s sexy.
Okay, I don’t agree with the sexism, but considering it’s a game and not a real person, these video game companies have made me (a woman) play some of these games and think “wow, she’s really hot.” “. .” Okay, it’s silly to think I mean these are “characters,” but still, it’s an amazing feat to have people drooling over your cartoonish self! On the list, okay?
Lara Croft – I fought the urge to put this one on the list, but she’s on so many other lists, I had to. Okay, so we all know the story of Lara and I guess most of you are well aware of the ever-popular Tomb Raider series of video games. However, there are some fascinating facts related to this character, which some of you might not be aware of. Prior to Lara’s creation, Core Design had to come up with a fashion leading role for their game and various ideas were thrown around. The purpose was to make a “real-time cinematic game” and appeal to the ultra-modern gamer. Although many may differ, Lara is still one of the sexiest video game heroines ever created!
Rayne, also known as BloodRayne, in addition to having a murderous physical build, BloodRayne is known for her fierce and predatory nature. She was born after her mother was assaulted by her vampire father (which would explain her predator). Rayne treats some of her enemies brutally and without mercy. She sometimes wraps her legs around them and sinks her teeth into their necks to feast on her blood.
