My Top 5 Hottest Female Game Characters

I am in a list making mood today, so here is my pick for the top 5 hottest girls you can find in games to date! See if you agree/disagree, lol I am a girl so my opinion may differ from the majority of gamer's choices!

#5.
Liara From Mass Effect: Alright, maybe not an obvious choice, but we had a connection damnit! Aliens can be hot, and she was soooo much nicer than Ashley! She's one of my favorite game characters and c'mon, what other aliens can you sleep with in games?! lol.








#4.
Princess Ruto from Ocarina of Time: The grown up version obviously! I always thought that if I was Link, I would have said, "Screw Zelda, I'm staying under this here waterfall with Princess Zora!" She just seemed to have more
personality than Zelda, and wasn't all like "oh save meagain!" like Zelda always was, lol.






#3.
Joana Dark from Perfect Dark: She's a kick ass tough chick with tight clothes, lol. How can she be left out of my list? Anyone who can save the world in high heel boots deserves a medal IMO!










#2.
Laura Croft from Tomb Raider: What? She's not my #1?! Yeah, that would have been way too obvious! She's probably everyone's #1 hottest game girl, and I agree that she basically rocks, but I wanted an original #1, lol.








#1.
Bella Goth from The Sims: Now before you mock my #1, think about it!
Who hasn't gotten it on with Bella?! She's married to Mortimer and the
best dressed Sim in the neighbourhood,lol . Once she even did my
gardener in the back yard while I was at work! If you've never played
The Sims (freak!), just look at her! She's a pixelized little vixen! lol.

Fav Xbox and Game Cube games

Gamecube: So I only recently bought a Gamecube actually. I don't have many games for the system yet, and really only bought it for my two favorites!

Legend of Zelda: Wind Walker:

I have loved all the Zelda games that I have tried, so I figured I needed to try this one! I did like it. It was cool sailing around everywhere in the little dragon boat and was an interesting story idea, but I found I got impatient with it. It just seemed like you spend 80% of the time travelling around and only 20% actually getting anything accomplished. Maybe I've just gotten more impatient with games, but I think this is probably my least favorite of all the Zelda games I have played.





Mario Kart: Double Dash: This Mario Kart is probably my favorite out of all of them. It's a bit harder, but I enjoy it a lot more than the other ones. I like that you can be Princess Daisy too! Peach is cool and all but I was sort of getting sick of her from all the other Mario Karts, lol. I like how you have the option to team up in multi player rather than only racing against each other, that was a nice twist. Peach Beach is my favorite place to race in this game!








Xbox Games: I have tried a lot of games for the original xbox, but I didn't fall in love with that many of them. Here are my favorites in no particular order:

Halo:
So of course this has to be one of my favorites, lol. I loved playing this game multi player, especially capture the flag. I liked Halo 2 as well, but was disappointed with the story length. I played it through on cooperative, and at the end I turned to my friend and was like, "the end", but as a joke, and it turned out it really was the end, lol.







The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind:
Definitely one of the best games I have ever played! I have always been into anything AD&Dish, and this game reminded me of it. I loved how big the world was and how much there was to do! It took me forever to eventually get to the actual main storyline quest because of all the side quests I was doing! I spent so much time organizing and decorating the houses I took over, lol!






Need For Speed(all of them!):
I had never really been fond of any racing games before I tried the Need for Speed games on the Xbox. I really got into them though! I loved how you could decorate your cars and make money to upgrade them. Hot Pursuit was awesomely fun, I loved racing while trying to avoid or destroy the police, lol. I still throw one of these games in and play them from time to time, lol.






Gladius:
I played through this game as Ursula (the fact that you could be a girl character was probably why I got into it in the first place). I liked how you built up your group of Gladiators as you travelled through the story and how the gladiators had back stories. It was a cool little game, and I have been meaning to play through it again. I only have a Gamecube copy now, but I assume it would be the same as the Xbox one I originally played.






Knights of the Old Republic:
I loved everything about this game!!! It was awesome that your main character could be a female and it was so cool to be able to decide your alignment! Your main character's relationships with her party members was so interesting that I was instantly hooked on this game! I played through the game on the good side (mostly) but at the end my friend convinced me to check out the dark side ending. I was so shocked with what happened and what my character did that I almost cried!!! I was really attached to my party members I guess, lol. Oh, and I was totally in love with Carth!



The Sims, The Sims 2, Bustin' Out: I had always been a big fan of all the Sims computer games, and had all the expansions, so of course I liked the Xbox versions! It was cool to actually have a motive in the game for once, but I still like the computer versions best because of all the additional downloadable content.












N64 Favs

I believe that the N64 is still the system that had the most of my favorite games on it! I've lost my N64 system (however someone loses a game system?), but if I still had it I am sure I'd still play a majority of these games today! So here's my list of favorite N64 games!

1. Golden Eye 007:
This game was SO good!!! The actual storyline fit with the movie well, which I liked because I have always been a huge fan of the Bond movies. I loved how you could interact with almost everything in the lvls, although I did waste a lot of time blowing up TV monitors in the bunker, lol. The multi player aspect of the game was definitely my favorite part though! Proximity mines + assault rifle ftw! lol. I was basically undefeated when it came to this game, which of course only made it more fun for me! Eventually it was hard to find people who would play with me though, lol.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
This game was my first game that I would consider myself addicted to. With my 8+ hour long play sessions and humming the sun song at school, I'm pretty sure you could have called me a Ocarina Junkie! My poor eyes even ended up bloodshot and sore from sitting on my living room floor looking up at the TV for such long periods of time, lol. I still love everything about this game, from Epona to the Gorgons, and have recently started playing through the game again on my Game Cube. Definitely one of the coolest games of all time imo!

3.Perfect Dark:
I liked this game a lot, and played it just as much as Golden Eye. I loved that you could do multi player alone (with the Bots) and train by yourself to be able to beat your friends when you were actually playing with them. The Farsight was so cheap but I loved using it!!! The storyline was fun to play through as well, and it was the first game I had ever played where the main character was actually a girl!! It was such an awesome change!


4. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
This game was fun! Of course it could not compare to Ocarina of Time, but it was still good and cool in different ways! I loved that you could change into the Gorgon, Deku or the Zora! The Fierce Deity's Mask made Link look pretty cool as well! My favorite one was the Zora mask, I liked the Zoras best in the Ocarina of time, so it was cool getting to look like one, plus he played that little guitar, hehe, so cute! I liked that there was the impending doom of that scary looking moon crashing into the clock tower too! It gave the game a *hurry up* edge that made it a little more exciting!

5. Mario Kart 64:
The Mario Kart for Super Nintendo had been one of my favorite games, so of course this one became a quick favorite! I guess it really wasn't all that different from the Super Nintendo version, other than the new tracks and the better graphics, but it was still a lot of fun!!




6. Mario Party: Oh Mario Party! This game was great if you had a few people over, except for those damn mini games where you had to rotate the joystick really fast! Of course people didn't use their thumb, they used the palm of their hand, right? My poor palms were soooo blistered and red after a few games! Finally my mom said if we gave ourselves blisters anymore we weren't allowed to play the game, lol, so we had to do not as good on those mini games. I liked all of the Mario Party games, and they just got better and more interesting.


7. 1080 Snowboarding:
I never thought I would like this game. I think it maybe came with my system when we got it, which is the only reason I ever tried it, but it is actually a lot of fun! I don't know why I got so into it, I have never been a fan of snowboarding, but I played it quite often!





8. Pokemon Snap:
Yes, I loved this game! Weird eh? I was never all that into Pokemon, although I did collect the cards because they were all so cute, and I watched the show on YTV whenever I was home for lunch. I loved riding around in that cart taking pictures though, and trying to get awesome pictures of all the "rare" Pokemon, lol.




9. Super Mario 64:
This game came with my system, and I did really like it. It totally got overshadowed by Golden Eye and Zelda for me however. I played it for a while before I got the other games, but once I had them I don't think I ever touched this one again, lol. The 3D environment was really sweet though!




10. The World is Not Enough:
Definitely no where near as good as Golden Eye, but I played through the game anyways. I did enjoy it to a degree, but there really was so many games that I loved that perhaps this one doesn't really deserve a place among my favorites . . .





11. WCW/nWo Revenge:
Can you believe that I liked this game? I hate wrestling, and always have, but I really enjoyed this game! I liked that you could change the names of your wrestlers and that you could beat people up with things the audience gave you, lol. I never did any single player with this game, but it was a blast to play with a few friends!




Fav Super Nintendo Games

So, I owned a Super Nintendo, but I only rented a lot of games, and didn't have many long enough for them to become favorites. Here is the short list of the games I just loved and played the crap out of!

1. Earth Bound:
I only ever rented this game, which was a big mistake on my patents part because we must have rented it 30 times and really, just buying it would have been cheaper! The big ass book that was needed to get anywhere in that game wasn't with the rented copy either so we had to go out and buy ourselves one, lol. I'm sure it wasn't a cheap book, but it was basically a necessity AND it had those sweet scratch and sniff things! This was the first actual RPG that I had played, and omg I loved it! The way that you could name your best move and your favorite food was so cool at the time, and could be so funny depending on what you named them, lol.

2. Donkey Kong:
This game came with my system I believe, because I remember it being one of the only games I owned for a long time. It looked SOOO amazing compared to the Nintendo games that I had played and I loved it right away. One of my favorite parts of the game was riding around on Enguard the Swordfish!!! He was so cute, and Rambi the Rhino was cool as well because he made the lvl go by so fast! I was so good at the cart lvls too! I never owned Diddy's Kong Quest or Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, but I played them both a fair bit. I even named my guinea pig Dixie after Dixie Kong! lol.

3. Lemmings:
To this day this game is still one of my favorite games! (although now I play it on the computer with my ZNES emulator) I always loved everything about this game, the noises, the graphics (as lame as they may now seem), the music, and of course all the little things the lemmings could do! Just writing about it makes me want to open it up right now and play through a couple levels! Those lemmings are so cute, lol.



4. Mario Paint:
A classic! From fly swatting to making insanely annoying songs with baby faces, ducks and boats, this game rocked!








5. Star Fox:
This game was one of the only "flying" games I ever played. It was really fun, but I don't believe I ever owned it. My neighbour did however and we would always play it together.







6. Super Mario Kart:
I think out of all my Super Nintendo games, I played this one the most! It was one of the first games that I was almost unbeatable at, lol, and so I loved it! I was always Peach (of course) and loved the tracks in the Star Cup. Battle mode was also lots of fun!
