Deus Ex Alpha

I've got a fascination with strong females in videogames. Be it an admiration for Joan of Arc characters or too attracted to Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies, I just find the idea of a strong woman the best underappreciated stereotype of character - especially when they aren't sexualised.

Hilde from Soul Calibur



Jade from Beyond Good and Evil



Alyx from Half Life



The Boss from Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater



Sheva from Resident Evil 5



Kerrigan from StarCraft



Fedorova from Deus Ex: Human Revolution




Honorable mention - The oversexualised transgender heroine...
Kainé from NIER

Hilde is awesome, I would play a third person action game starring her

Lances need to be bigger features in todays games

Lances, spears, etc are fucking awesome in general, yes.

I would buy the collectors edition of said game if I could aim for the enemies heart and lance it out then force feed it back to them with the end of my lance

NO LARA CROFT?

NO LARA CROFT?

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

yeah dude let's all post bimbos

I was reluctant to post GLaDOS (a bit sexualised!) and Shodan because of them lacking a 'strong' trait. Great 'females' in videogames though?, sure.

Moving panels around of a whole testing facility seems pretty strong to me!

It hasn't got that feel about of strength. I always thought it was a prisoner to its own domain. Something it shares with Chell.

To support this, I'd like to point out that GLaDOS resembles a woman hanging upside down in bondage.
