Many of us old school hats remember beating Metroid with everything unlocked to be rewarded with Samus Aran in a space-aged bikini and boots. As Nintendo moved on to next-gen systems with better graphics, Samus returned in 3D and her bathing suit could be seen again in Super Smash Bros. Being one of the original game babes, during a time when heroines were non-existent makes Samus that much more special. The game Metroid itself was a fun romp into... 

Dr. Liara T’Soni – The Asari Pureblood Liara represents the naiveté and exoticism that men look for in foreign women. She is blue, has no hair due to being of the alien race Asari, and can live up to 1,000 years old. Her race – Asari, are mystical humanoids that birth only females.

Mai Shiranui of Fatal Fury fame is one of the original fighting game femmes to impact the genre. Normally put up against Capcom’s heroine Chun-Li in many pictures, Mai’s moves are dramatically different as she relies on quick attacks and projectiles instead of the leg barrage that Chun wields. Mai is descended from her grandfather – master Ninja Hanzou Shiranui, and she is madly in love with Hanzou’s top student, a master himself... 

Greg Dragon: Well prior to the official launch of 3GK, I am happy to say we have scheduled as THE PREMIER interview, Haleigh “Hawt Bunz” Comette, a soon-to-be hellion in the upcoming Age of Conan MMORPG. Now as you all know there has been a trend of “I’m too cool for that” girls sliding into the nerd lanscape as of late. What’s up with that anyway? When did it become cool to become a game gal, when did glasses and...
