Top 10: Female Heroines!

First of all, trying to get a Top 10 POSITIVE female Heroines is not easy, when it comes to playable characters, you have so many to choose from, but only so few are actually "awesome". Having it all about how awesome a character are with the size of the bra as the reason is not really what I'd say is a valid argument. Therefore I tried my best here to find the "playable heroines" that is having a good influence on people. You'll be shocked.

10. Nilin Cartier-Wells (Remember me)

Nilin lost her memories and tries to get it all back together to find out who she was and who she is. After waking up in the Bastille Prison in Paris, no memory what so ever, The authorities arrested her and cleared her memory clean. Clueless of who or what she is, she manage to get her memory back sooner or later, the twist in it all is just lovely!

9. Alice Liddell (Alice: Madness returns)

While being an insane girl, with her "insane fairy tales" of Wonderland, she actually lived them over and over again in her mind. making her one of the... well quite strange protagonists out there, but it had it's charm on it all how this world was, and how dark it is. she often went "mental" and became worse and worse, no one believed her when she told the truth, as she always did. A damn good Protagonist in a dark world and style.

8. April Ryan (The Longest Journey)

Yeah I know, most of you guys remember her as the first time you've seen her is in her underwear. Still, bad graphics and people DO really sleep in underwear, so stop fuzzing! April is a really well portrayed character overall. She suddenly gets dragged into the fantasy world of Arcadia, observations that are obviously sarcastic but helps the pace on this point and click. (not saying point and click is slow and boring, but they have a faint of it now and then.)

7. Faith Connors (Mirror's Edge)

Someone who can win a gunfight without a gun is a hero(ine) in my book, but that is not the only thing that gives Faith Connors the spot in the list. She tries to clear her sister's name, who have been framed for a murder. Faith beats the cops without using a gun and tries her best not to kill anyone. and hell of a runner! The free-running in the city really helps!

6. Chell (Portal)

Chell is the female version of Gordon Freeman's role as a silent protagonist. having her all quiet as GLaDOS taunted and started to fear her made it all better, having a character that talked would ruin the atmosphere of being in a test chamber and feeling that's the only reason she was born for. She tries to escape Aperture science lab and finally manage to do so after 2 tries. 

5. Zoey (Left 4 Dead)

After losing her parents, watching them turn to zombies and shot one of them. She is a hell of a girl that keeps it all together, even the traumas in her mind. After losing a dear friend that she actually felt like a father figure --Bill--, she comes off somewhat more serious and angry. But still keeps her eyes on survival and helping her new friends.

4. Sarah Kerrigan (Starcraft)

I know, you dont EXACTLY play her but you do have some missions as her.

Sarah Kerrigan noticed quite early in her age that she had Telepathic Powers, which resulted into the training into become one of the Terran Confederacy's 'Ghosts'. Ghosts are soldiers with psionic abilities and entrusted with stealth operations. All the good things she did before she got overwhelmed by a Zerg swarm- The Zerg infection couldn't destroy Kerrigan or her gift, this resulted into her becoming the 'Queen of Blades'.

3. Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

The story of Jill Valentine takes us back into the Mansion incident, where we first meet her. From beating an army of zombies, getting brainwashed by Wesker and beating the crap out of him. She has a broad range of skills which she uses in her fight against bio-terrorism. surprisingly good at disarming/disposal bombs. And after all what she has seen, this woman gotta be on the top 10!

2. Commander Shepard (Mass Effect)

Now this is kinda tricky, because you can be female AND male Shepard. so i guess I'll add it on both of the list! Facing collectors and alike, Commander Shepard did not only save the mankind, but the entire universe from utter extermination of the reapers, making him/her a true hero in my book. The way you can decide how your character can be and your decisions have consequences,  really makes it up to be one of my favorite.

1. Samus Aran (Metroid)

For being an intergalactic bounty hunter, she actually does a good job on surviving everything that gets in her way. It might be the suit doing all the work, but you cannot deny that there is at least one Blondie that has the brain to save the galaxy against evil beings. I still remember the day I found out she was a girl, made her more awesome, since well... you know that you're used to male characters being awesome.



Shocked that Lara Croft or Bayonetta isn't on the list? well that's a shame for you! because in my eyes they are not really a kind of "good protagonist" in my eyes, yes they kick ass but that doesn't mean it's good! (although Bayonetta is one of my favorite games!)

KEEP ON GAMING!
