Video Games Ten Hottest Gals

In this list is the most attractive video game characters to ever be created -so far- (well in my eyes anyway). Wither you are a straight male, lesbian, or are very open and comfortable with your sexuality, I'm pretty sure one or two people on this you'll also agree on. Finding attractive females can be quite difficult. For one thing a lot are overly sexualised, and unrealistic, like my previous post regarding male, I want to find genuine woman who are realistic in their own sense.

*Note:- This list is done alphabetically in order of first name, not in order of attractiveness.

Ada Wong


Appearing in several Resident Evil games Ada is one of the most attractive woman in it, unlike most females perceived in video games, she hasn't got ridiculous sized breasts, acts seductive, or any of the old and stale tactics used to get men to play it (developers, woman play games too, furthermore, don't insult them by showing male gamers what woman should look and act like). Her personality is much more realistic and more believable. Ada was one of the first few female characters I came across that really stood out, both for being attractive (for being much more natural) and realistic.

Elizabeth Comstock


A recent female addition from the latest Bioshock game. Elizabeth, is not a 2D character, she is much more realistic the older females in games. 

She has morals, issues, dreams and ambitions. She is smart, friendly and does NOT need protecting. Her elegant hair style and bright blue eyes draw focus and show us how realistic and beautiful developers can make woman be out to be.

Farah


Farah is a young woman who can come across as a trickster, manipulator and other bad characteristics associated with most humans. However with these traits she comes across as ruthless, ambitious and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, for some her sense of empowering will be what makes her sexy. While others will find her sexy for her determination. 

Jill Valentine


Jill (the Resident Evil 3 version, not 5), is much more appealing, she was one of the first few woman in the video game industry to be seen realistically as a non-sexual woman. Her breasts -while there, but not overly sized- showed that the gaming industry was finally starting to realize how insecure it made woman feel. 

Jill doesn't brim with personality within the first few games, but her looks are to die for. The new approach to what woman should be like is what makes her so attractive. For being Jill.

Heather Mason


Silent Hill's second most sexiest character (first being Henry Townshend, my biggest fictional crush), Heather Mason. An ordinary teenager, normal boundaries, morals, reactions, etiquette and emotions. Heather's fashion sense for her (and for anyone) can help find someone more attractive. Her slightly unkempt hair is rebellious for going against what is "normal/acceptable", it's admirable and is for me, and others I'm sure it's appealing.

Lara Croft


Finally a Lara that hasn't had too much attention to her bosoms. Lara now looks ever sexier in HD, her strong completion and beautiful hair has done her wonders. This new Lara is very appealing not for being sexualised but for being realistic, believable and for being within normal boundaries for the average looking females. Nothing wrong with average looking by the way. You're still very very attractive.  

Lightning


Females with abnormal coloured hair can be a risky business, some find it horrible, others find it attractive. Wither or not you're one or the other you can still find video game characters attractive no matter how abnormal the hair colour. Lightning is one of them, her pinkish hair intensifies her appeal, her petite face and slender jaw gives her the edge over many females in video game history.

Mayu & Mio Amakura


First off they're twins so I count them as one in a way down to the fact they look very similar. Mayu and Mio  both represent two different and distinct human emotions, the need to protect and the need to be isolated (in a sense). Gone are the big breasts that feature in way too many games, these teenagers are much more realistic, subtle and attractive. They're delicate dresses are much more appealing than the skimpy outfits that leave nothing to the imagination that is widely used for female game characters, and with lack of makeup these girls sure do go natural (sometimes less is more - in regards to makeup, not clothes).

Tifa  Lockhart



Tifa is a fighter, she isn't a pushover, she is genuine and real, that's what makes her personality attractive. As for looks ... look at her intriguing get up, beautiful well kept hair. Natural beauty. There isn't a lot to say about her looks, as the image above talks for itself.

Yuna


Yuna isn't you're typical woman in games, she doesn't need "saved" by a stronger man, she is strong, she isn't afraid to suffer for those she care about, she isn't afraid to speak out of terms, she isn't afraid to die. Yuna is strong willed and that is very attractive for a lot of men. Her graceful movements and beautiful attention gives this woman a real impact for the men.

If you've played FFX and you didn't find Yuna attractive well go get your head checked.

Video Games Ten Hottest Guys

In this list is the most attractive video game characters to ever be created -so far- (well in my eyes anyway). Wither you are a straight female, gay male, or are very open and comfortable with your sexuality, I'm pretty sure one or two people on this you'll also agree on.

*Note:- This list is done alphabetically in order of first name, not in order of attractiveness.

David King


Straight form Resident Evil Outbreak, David is an exceptionally handsome man, to me when I think of plumber I use to instantly think of Mario. Now I tend to think of this man. Hair is a big part of finding people attractive to me, someone getting a haircut can completely change how attractive I find them (I'm not even joking), and his hair just does it for me, accompanied with his face shape and jaw line, well ... you've got one attractive guy.

Henry Townshend


I'll admit it. Henry Townshend (Silent Hill 4: The Room) -to me- is the sexiest video game character ever to be created. If this man was real I would stalk the hell out of him. Now the whole emo sort of look doesn't do anything for me but a hint of it is present in his appearance and for some reason ... that works, join that with his stubble, now wow. This obsession is most likely intensified by the similarities in personality, both of us are hermits, awkward and shy.

His kindness and thoughtfulness while taking others into consideration is enough to make anyone feel queasy and wish he would be a real character. Although with looks like that he'd have been taken almost instantly. 

Ken

Here's one straight from my (and maybe your's) childhood, Ken from Street Fighter series. I'll admit I don't know much about him, except he's American, and I always imagine that he's Ryu's enemy, but it's the mystery about him that interests me and has stopped me from investigating his back story.

Blonde hair -on a man- is very sex, but they need to have the face for it I guess, not wanting it to be out of place now do I. With that and him coming across as a bit smug, does something for quite a lot of people. His strong completion, and general get up, Ken is quite a hot man. Indeed.

Kevin Ryman


When it comes to Resident Evil, most likely everyone will be for Chris or Leon, I am neither, I found Leon's appearance (in Resident Evil 4) to be slightly off putting due to the hint of femininity in his looks. As for Chris I did have a phase for him -he was the polar opposite of Leon (look wise)- but that past and Kevin still remained.

Kevin is an all round good looker, who people admire not as a phase or because he goes against the flow, but will love him for a long, long time. Those of you who have played the Outbreak games will be well aware of his existence (while the latter of gamers will be unaware) and will adore his good looks and almost charming personality -on some people-.

Kevin, to me, you are right behind Henry Townshend.

Kilik


When I first got Soul Calibur, I always went Kilik (cause he is so attractive), now I play him as I like the style of his fighting (until the new one changed it, and had to opt for a new character), but that thought still stays there. Before I knew what my sexuality was determined as I knew there was something about Kilik that I just liked. He comes across as a sweet and caring person, with strong morals and highly determined. With a desire to be protective to those he care about.

His personality was one thing that worked for me just like his looks did too, his long brunette hair coupled with his strong bold eyes really did one on me in my childhood.

Kyle Hyde


I'm quite shallow when it comes to Mr Hyde, he's arrogant, cocky and sly, personality traits that I dislike. What makes up for it is his looks; while it's mainly black and white with very few colour images of him. He's a character that requires no colour in order to come across as sexy, and its only heightened by his stubble. Can't say much more about him, I did say it was shallow.

Nathan Drake


Okay he appears on way too many lists (there could never be too many, actually) but it still stands to reason. Naughty Dog sure knows how to create a character bursting with sex appeal, his chiseled good looks accompanied with his quirky and almost clumsy attitude give him an edge and separate him from the rest of the list really.

I'll admit he does sometimes come across as arrogant and almost self-centered and although while they traits are undesirable I still forgive him due to those looks of him.

Drake, Naughty Dog may stop making games about you, but you'll still have loads of girls and gay men desiring you.

Nero


Another shallow one here.

He's moody and he's broody, he's awkward and easily angered. All bad things that put me off, the hair and face however save it for him. Unlike Henry his is a little more emo like -still not enough to put me off all together- but still subtle enough for me to think of him as an attractive looking guy. Now if his personality was more appealing, he would be bumped up on my list.

Ryu

Ken's counterpart -or maybe he isn't, I don't know, I haven't looked up his back story- is just as hot, like Ken I know next to nothing about him, and some of it is just speculations. He's Japanese, Ken's rival (how wrong am I?). 

Everyone has a thing for something -we all do, don't we?-, be it the stereotypical fireman, policeman ect, ect.  However karate and other fighting experts is something that's rare and it does intrigue me, now I'm not saying I'd have a thing for a hot guy in karate getup, it'd be the guy not the getup I'm attracted to, but to see him in one would pull focus that's my point. It's due to the focus that Ryu pulls not to mention his incredibly good looks that helps put him on this list.

Snow Villiers


Hero this. Hero that. Hero. Hero. Hero. Arugh it's so annoying. Snow is one of them, you hate the person, you like their looks, you're angered for allowing yourself to be attracted to such a person. Snow is the fictional persona of that fitting description. 

I don't like him, but those looks, that hair, that stubble, it works. This is the last (and last guy in the list) guy to be one here due to sheer shallowness, judging only by his looks I'd say Snow is pretty attractive, ignore his personality for just a minute, take a look at him. Do you now find him attractive?

Bioshock Infinite Review



No more Rapture. No more big daddies. No more little sisters. Now it's Columbia ...

The similarities?

The first few minutes of Infinite will have the vibe and atmosphere that the first two games provided us with, however within the next hour it breaks away from the old formula and traditions that were present in the first two Bioshock games. This isn't a bad thing though it's a new and exciting experience filled with bold new content and interesting concepts.

Within this game you escort a young woman -Elizabeth-. Now many of you think "escorting" and are instantly reminded of Ashley from Resident Evil 4, you moan, you groan and vow it will be terrible. However. This is different, Elizabeth has no health bar. She can protect herself, plus during battle she will aid you. Throwing first aid kits, ammo the works. This isn't it all, even while just exploring the streets she will point out objects of interest and offer you money for you. So this is nothing like RE4's Ashley. This is Bioshock Infinite.

Speaking of breaking away from old formula's it is not a case of an abandoned city filled with drug addicts (splicers) this is much different some parts of this game will have you in combat with the people of Columbia, then other sections involve you walking the streets with it's civilians with no threat to you. It is the small parts like this that derive it from the original games, as these sections allow you to unwind, cool off and take things slow.

There is powers in this (not Adam) called Vigors, these are new powers that are much more useful and interesting in this. For example you can send a wave towards the enemies, which immobilize them as they float around giving you time to shoot them. I won't ruin it by telling you more, but there is seven more powers and trust me, they're all useful, inventive and highly creative.

The gun system is now different, originally you could hold them all, but would be low on bullets, low on money and money would be capped. However in this there are plenty of guns but you can only hold two at a time. You can swap them but you would have to drop one of them. There are now plenty of bullets which are also very cheap and with no cap on your wallet you can hold more money than you can spend.


Rating

+ Fresh new concepts
+ Lots of freedom
+ A escort system that is effective, stress-free and enjoyable+ Amazing story (if you can understand it or look it up online afterwards)
- Story may befuddle some people

8.5/10
