Ok, I had some backlash from my earlier thread (10-6), with a few complaints being the lack of Alyx Vance, Cate Archer and Bastila Shan. Well this is where patience pays off, and you'll be happy to see that I have not forgotten them.
Also, I should probably clear this up. Criteria for these femme fatales was that they had to feature in games which I actually own, since there is no point in me rating characters I'm not intimately familiar with. So even though April Ryan, Aribeth De Tylmarande and Jade are all great characters, I can't list them due to me not playing the games they feature in (a shame, I know). I also realize putting a relative newcomer like Luka may be a bit controversial, but anyone who’s played Lost Planet knows what I mean.
Hope this helps prevent any angry messages some of you probably thought about sending me.
P.S. I realize two of the choices in the Top 5 are console only babes. But I thought beauty is platform agnostic :wink:

if thats the case, Samus Aran of the Metroid series should have been there as well. She would have won easily for me :).
Also, I'm a little surprised there is no Lara Croft.

Reasons for both being snubbed: Never played any Metroid game yet, and I thought Lara was almost too obvious. I think it was time to retire her and showcase some of the other beauties available.
Bastila was way too much of a whining nag throughout KOTOR to get my vote. I was never really big into the NOLF series, so that excludes Cate. The only other gal I'm really familiar with was Alyx, so she got my vote.
Next order of business - run out and pick up The Longest Journey and Dreamfall so you can add April Ryan ;p Well we all have our own tastes, unfortunately Alyx is the only bird on your 1-10 that I've even heard of because it seems we like to play different types of games.
I have to agree with the omission of Lara Croft though. Even though I wasn't really into any of the Tomb Raider games, I know lots of folks are but... Ever since that chick that looks like a space alien-looking bird (Angelina Jolie) played her in those movies, I've never thought the same way about Lara Croft again!
Yeah, the choices are pretty limited here. Definitely need April Ryan and Zoe Castillo (Both from The Longest Journey) up there. Alyx Vance is definitely another good choice. I also liked the one in Tribes: Vengeance, but it's been a little too long since I played it and cannot remember the character name.
