Top 10 Bad Ass Female Gaming Characters
 

There are many reasons why people game.  A few come to mind; to escape the boring, banal everyday world around you, to shoot things in a safe (and legal) setting or to blow off some steam at the end of a hard work day.

There also might be another reason, one that some may have a hard time admitting to.  I’m just going to throw it out there…..because the main character is scorching HOT! 

This week’s top ten list focuses on just a few of these femme fatales, characters you’ll love to play and will never forget.

10) Princess Zelda

The Legend of Zelda games debuted in 1986 on the original Nintendo gaming system, and you can now find her in the Zelda games for Wii. The main goal of the game is to save your fair princess from death and destruction. She is usually kidnapped at the beginning of the game and it’s up to you to save her. To date, she has appeared in every game except The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. However, Zelda is far from helpless. In most iterations she possesses psychic or magical powers, such as teleportation and telepathy. What are you waiting for, get going, save your woman! 

 

9) Ms. Pac-Man

Pac-Man’s leading lady debuted in 1981 on the Atari system.  In 2009, Game Informer ranked Ms. Pac-Man 10th on their list of "The Top 200 Games of All Time," saying that it "trumped [the original Pac-Man] in nearly every way."  It was originally an unauthorized sequel but became one of the most popular video games of all time.

I lived with the 'real' Lara Croft
More years ago than I care to remember, my
house mate was Frances, the sister of Toby
Gard, creator of Lara Croft. Lara had many
things in common with Frances, who was a big
inspiration for the character! She was a fun
house mate too.
