Women of Games

This is the signature image I recently commissioned, credit goes to Katsumeragi of the freefrag forums. The featured women is an artists interpretation of what Team Fortress's pyro looks like. It has never been confirmed what the Pyro's gender is, but Valve has dropped hints and references that go both ways. I believe (and hope) that the Pyro actually is a women. I mean, that would make the Pyro the only women in a team with 8 men. She goes around in a suit that completely conceals any shape to her body and her preferred method of attack are lighting people on fire and hitting them with an axe. That would just be to awesome for words. IF the Pyro is a girl, she definitely qualifies as the second greatest woman of gaming.

Of course, the greatest woman of gaming is and forever will be Samus Aran. She has been kicking alien butt since 1986, and we have loved her for it. Unlike most of the women in games, she doesn't flaunt her hotness to get our attention. Most of the time she is encased in a big suit of body armor that pretty conceals any indication of her gender.

and sometimes it was the graphics

The fact of the matter is, most video game women sport enormous...... assets for gamers to drool over. Now I am a red blooded man, I like boobs. But its all pixels, so there really isn't much value added by huge chests and asses on video game characters. I won't ever like a woman in a game unless she has character substance. Funnily enough, very little is known about Samus, but the way she stoically handles herself through all her games says volumes about her ability.

and she does look nice, so thats a plus

The thing is, we can't relate to bimbos. I've never met one, and if I did I think they would annoy me. Gamers want our women to have substance. And the mysterious clothing certainly sets our brains a spinning.
