Hottest Playstation Game Chicks of 2007
5. Nariko - Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Meet Nariko, a relative new-comer to the gaming world. Nariko takes center stage in SCE's recently released PS3 title, Heavenly Sword. She wields a mighty weapon called the "Heavenly Sword," which alters into one of three forms depending on the attack stance used by the player. According to the game's plot, this sizzling red-haired female warrior has only a few days to live and she embarks on one final act of redemption against a king and his invading army. It was said that the "Heavenly Sword" slowly drains the life force of its wielder (if he or she is a mortal). King Bohan, who's obsessed with the Sword, begins a merciless campaign against Nariko and her people, so he can snatch the weapon for himself. So, in addition to looking positively gorgeous, Nariko has a righteous streak and knows the meaning of the world "honor." At the risk of losing her own life, she uses the powerful weapon to take vengeance upon King Bohan and his army.
4. Kaileena (The Empress of Time)- Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (PSP)
_in_Prince_of_Persia_The_Two_Thrones.jpg)
The Empress of Time, is a mortal, though immensely powerful creature created by the Gods to protect the Timeline. She first appears in Warrior Within, and again in The Two Thrones, where she is the narrator. She carries a part of the Timeline within herself, in fact, and can utilise its powers much like the Prince can, to rewind and slow time. When the Old Man speaks to the Prince about the Island of Time on which the Empress resides, he is most vocal about the cunning and merciless Empress.
The Empress ends up as first Warrior Within's mid-point boss, and then the final boss, although in the real ending, the final confrontation with her is replaced by a fight with the Dahaka. The Empress afterwards ends up going home to Babylon with the Prince. This ending is taken to be canonical by the sequel Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones.
3. Princess Farah - Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (PSP)
When Ubisoft revived the good old Prince of Persia character with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, a new hot icon was born - a nimble young lady, named Farah. This extremely attractive female specimen is the Maharajah's daughter and frequently aids the Prince in his death-defying journeys. Whenever he's stuck some place, Farah is usually there to provide a solution. Farah also managed to fit triumphantly into fourth place, regardless of the stiff competition (if you'll pardon the expression). She's one of the rare characters actually worthy to be among great names like Lara Croft. Thanks to the efforts of the animation team at Ubi and the help of people like John Mechner (the creator of the original PoP game), characters like Farah move and act convincingly. Many animators in the industry should follow this example.
2. Rachel - Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3)
Seductive and lethal, Rachel is a particularly fine sample of game babeness. Those who played Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Sigma should know what we mean. Rachel is a sexy huntress with blood that gives her abnormal strength and she's also able to sense the presence of so-called Fiends, which she frequently dispatches with her powerful demon-slaying warhammer, a very serious-looking whip and blades. In Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Rachel becomes a playable character and this time she looks better than ever. Well, after carefully "studying" the character, it would seem that she's more than qualified to position herself amongst the most attractive female game characters. Taking one close look at her would make a dead man dance with joy - chalk it up to the sexy outfits and amazing cleavage. Another great job by the gents and ladies at Tecmo.
1. Laura Croft (PS2)
When Eidos and Core Design made the first Tomb Raider title, they probably never expected Lara to evolve into such a massively worshipped game character. Mind you, it's obvious that the main inspiration for Lara's creation came from daring characters like Indiana Jones. Born on Feb.14th, 1968, in Wimbledon, London, Lara Croft is the daughter of Lord Richard Croft and Amelia Croft. She's the 11th Countess of the Croft Estates, which include three separate manor houses. Brought up in the snug world of aristocracy, wealth and privilege, Lara was able to get private tutoring. Later, she became a renowned archaeologist with an admirable taste for adventure. Wielding dual pistols is without a doubt her best asset (yeah, yeah, pistols, right - 2Lions), when she's out exploring ancient tombs and hunting for hidden treasures. We've all been with her, as she passed through many dangers. Whether she's shimming across cliff edges or kicking the living daylights out of some poor monster, Lara has always maintained her poise and gracefulness. To watch her climb, swing and jump through some of the most deadly locations on Earth, is never a dreary experience. Plus, she looks better with each game, and after Crystal Dynamics' TR: Legend and TR: Anniversary, we have high hopes for Lara's future adventures.
