My vote goes to the up-coming Sierra Entertainment game Wet for PS3 and XBox 360 and it's star, Rubi.

 As for Lara Croft, I prefer the original...Rhona Mitra.

Get me?

My Top five are:

5. Kitana Talisa Soto as Kitana in Mortal Kombat also helps

4. Nina Williams Bad-ass Irish Assasin

3. Lara Croft

2. Rayne I love Vampires!

1. Michelle Chang it's the boots

 

Okay maybe this says a lot about me but lulu from FFX. I like the ladies with additude. Anything she said to me would be followed by yes ma'am. Maybe that is why she was my strongest character in the end. She was even sexier when she could kill everything without even trying.  Maybe is was the outfit.

Awhile ago Kristen Bell made an appearance in an afterellen blogpost entitled "Girls we'll watch in almost anything". An unfortunate fact of my life is my total ineptitude for gaming (mario is a challenge for me). However, when CGI still of this lovely lady for the game assassin's creed hit the internet, I was hooked. Needless to say I am currently putting in way too many hours watching my friends play X-Box.

You can't forget about the ladies from the Final Fantasy line.  Fran and Ashe are definitely on my favs list from FFXII along with all 3 ladies of FFX2. I think Tifa would be my Numero Uno FF and Video Game Hottie. Period. Gotta love Final Fantasy!

Check out some Tifa greatness here -->  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wXdUTBROBE

Why does everyone seems to forget final fantasy girls?? (at teast someone mentioned Lulu) I can make my top ten just with tem.

And what about Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Yuffie, Tiffa....

 

 

Main character from Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning

 

 

 

 

I never actually thought about if before, let me see...

5) Elaine Marley from "Monkey Island". Mayor of a pirate island, she was the first woman in a power position I've ever seen in a videogame! (and now that I think of it, she's pretty much the only one...)

4) Sophia from "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis". Beautiful, smart, sharp toungue. possessed by superior powers and always in danger (plus, I played this game in all the way possible just to be able to kiss her, it has to mean something :P)

3) Bastila from "Knighs of the Old Republic". Hot chick with a lightsaber? I'm in!

2) Tali from "Mass Effect". The sex scenes still echoes in the back of my head...

1) April Ryan from "The Longest Journey". Smart, creative, great sense of humour, good looking, shifter trough dimensions ans saver of the world(s)? Hard to beat lol

Bastila Shan from KOTOR! Oh yes!

Haven't played it, I don't have a PS3 (yet!!). My virtual crush is probably helped by the fact she's voiced by Anna Torv....

Got a bit of a Jessica Rabbit thing going there!

The list is totally lacking without Rayne from Bloodrayne.

During the summer I was marathon playing MGS, MGS2 and when I got MGS3, I completely fell in love with Eva and at the end I was completely heartbroken!

I love Taki of Soul Caliber.

 

BTW, LOVE LOVE LOVE Rikku from FFX-2 and whenever I played KOTOR, if Bastila died, my heart weeped. So love to her too <33

 

I can't think of anymore but I know there's tons of girls I love. Video game super heroines kick ass.

 

 

I don't know if it counts, because it was a movie that was based on a video game, but I had an embarrassing crush on Aki Ross in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.  I mean, at least with Jodie Foster, I could pretend that maybe some day I'd meet her and she'd fall head over heels for me (hee), but it was hard getting a handle on the fact that Aki Ross doesn't even exist.

They obviously didn't overlook the game as they listed Gordon Freeman, so how did they miss Alyx Vance in Half-Life 2?

 

And honestly, Agent 47 would be on my list, as well. He is a very sexy man.

I love most games with a kick ass heroine, I'm a sucker for virtual babes!

 

I definitely endorse your choices, and personally I adore Laura Croft, Samus Aran, Fran from FFVII, Alyx from Half Life 2, Midna from Zelda (in human form), and Tifa Lockheart from FFVII.

 

I must admit I have a bit of a man-crush on Squall/Leon from FFVIII. He's pretty darn lesbianish, from they pretty eyes to the lovely hair to the leather.

Heavenly Sword..How in the world could you not mention this game? I mean the character is HOT and the game was lauded for the realism displayed in the characters facial feautures. Hmm short attention span much?

Hope it worked. 

1- Yuna (FFX2) 2-Lenne (FFX2) 3-Rikku (FFX2) 4-Kasumi (Dead Or Alive) 5-Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken)

Bastila from KOTOR was a distracting character, and I have to say, she makes my list. Maybe not number one but:

5. Chun Li from Street Fighter

4. Princess Katana from Mortal Kombat (something about the fans!)

3. Bastila from KOTOR

2. Nariko, from Heavenly Sword. O.M.G.

1. Lara Croft...no matter what I keep comin' back to that Tomb Raider goodness

i really like the blonde verision of elena fisher from drakes fortune...shes a sporty gal / archeologist who kicks arse throughout the entire game.

 

Elena Fisher

 

 

Konoko from Oni. I mean, futuristic badass cop-turned-rogue-when-her-friend-is-killed...and she rides a motorcycle...how could you not love her?

Otherwise, I basically agree with everyone else. I'm sure there's something I'm missing but nothing's coming to mind, haha.

Nina W. is the one of the sexiest characters! I like her so much. she's also a great fighter. 

Girls. Girls. Girls.

the woman on Need for Speed Carbon. On the final boss race she gives you this really hot look. Though that game is kinda sexist, your silohuette is male and I also wonder because when you're racing and you choose her as an active crew member she tends to get in the way and drives rather painfully, if the developers think that women are bad drivers.

How you could leave out the Boss from MGS3? The entire series aruguably originates from her. Also I always found Aya Brea from Parasite Eve 1 cool.

 

1.The Boss

2.Aya Brea

3.Jill Valentine

4.Vanessa - King Of Fighters

5. Paine

Mona Sax in the Max Payne series is the sexiest video game character, she is strong, beautiful, fantastic with guns, and slightly psychopathic!

 

One of the sexiest, toughest, smartest charachters out there. Hana Tsu Vachel from the FEAR EFFECT game. She's a mercenary, a linguist, a lover! Seen here with her lover Rain from Fear Effect 2.

All around awsome!

 

With all due respect to her fans, Im getting a little tired that Lara Croft ALWAYS shows up in every list about women and videogames. The way I see it, Final Fantasy characters are better than Lara Croft, but that is my point of view.

1.- Rinoa (FF VIII)

2.- Yuna (FFX not FFX-2...I know its the same, but I´ve always liked her more as a summoner)

3.- Fran (FFXII)

4.- Yuffie (FVII)

5.- Ashe (FFXII)

Oh, and honorific mention to Ada Wong, Resident Evil 4.

A character who is played by both Angelina and Rhona Mitra has to be my number 1 ;)

Yay, Jade ! I loved that game, and I'm glad she's in the list. But no Lulu from FFX? She's a fine looking lady (but maybe that's my inner goth lover who's talking). Rikku has attitude and she's independant (and wears short shorts + bikini top, come on...)

Lara Lara Lara always Lara I don´t even like her, but well, I guess I´m just a strange person, I must be the only lesbian in the world that hated Carmen in The L word (god, she was too stupid, and what she did to Jenny was cruel) well, Lightning can be all for me then, I can´t wait to play this game.

Here's the women that I like in video games at the moment (in no particular order because I don't like ranking):

-Lara Croft, Tomb Raider games. It's not only that we share the same first name (although that helps); she was probably my first video game crush ever, back when I didn't even know I was gay. You never forget your first loves.

-Liara T'Soni, Mass Effect. She's from another species (the Asari) that actually only has one biological gender, and mating for them is seen as more than just sex -- it's also a sacred bond that must be taken seriously. She's also intelligent and gorgeous, so when she gave the speech about her people, I just about melted. (Runner up for Mass Effect: the female Commander Shepard, no matter how she looks. Her voice is melt-worthy. And Ashley Williams isn't bad, either, but not my type.)

-Fran and Princess Ashe, Final Fantasy XII. What's funny is that I don't actually play this game (my sister does), but I crush on two women from it anyway. Fran is the strong stoic type (and yes, she has bunny ears), but I can't tear my eyes away from her whenever she's onscreen. Ashe is more an emotional crush, although she's beautiful, too.

-Casey Lynch, Guitar Hero series (although particularly three). Casey's always been a looker in the series, but in the third game, she got this leather outfit that gives her dyed red hair, and that was enough for me. I'm very easy to please.

Really big fan of Tom Raider love Lora Croft been playing it for meaning years. I'm a really big game geek i love video games. Love Angelina Jolie when she played her in the in the movie.

My favorite would have to be sexy Nikki Connors of "Rogue Ops". Your saying who? Yeah, well, the game itself didn't do well at all, it actually bombed, but I happened upon it & fell for sexy Nikki. She's a force to be reckoned with in the game & KICKS ASS!!!! =0)

 

Here are a couple more sexy video game characters: 

Farah from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Karen from Shadow Hearts: Covenant

 

All I have to say is, there are 3 ladies in the video game world that need to be on that list.

Tifa - FF7
Ayame Tenchu series
Rei- Kurosawa- Fatal Frame 3 the tormented

Tifa goodness

Ayame goodness

Rei goodness

Kaileena from the Prince of Persia is one of my faves, at one point she tells the Prince that the Empress "has no love for the world of men" which sounds pretty gay if you ask me.

The women off Dead or Alive are obvious ones. I play DoA2 with my housemate a lot, he plays as Tina and I play as Kasumi. They both have some moves that are basically filth. Tina does a move where she ploughs her head right into her opponents crotch which is always amusing and Kasumi does a move where she flips onto the shoulders of her opponents. This move can be done from the back but is more often done from the front leaving her oppenent with their face in a rather intimate place. If anyone has played Dead or Alive 2 I'm sure you know what moves I am referring to.
