These women can make you sweat, and they’re not even real! Figments of your digital imagination – we bring you the Xpert list of the hottest female video game characters.

As an avid gamer, I must have played most of the games released till date. And if there’s anything better than kicking butts and blasting away ugly monsters, it is to have a hot voluptuous female do it for you. Most of these sexy seductresses are fearsome killing machines, while there are others who are just downright dirty hoes.

My lifelong obsession with videogames has introduced me to a whole bevy of pixilated bombshells, so for your viewing pleasure, here are the 5 of the hottest female video game characters of all times:

Joanna Dark - Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark may have disappointed fans on the gaming front and failed to live up the expectations that were raised after the release of Golden Eye, but you have to admit that Joanna Dark, as a character, scored much higher than Bond’s virtual double. Be it the tight jumpsuits she wore or the way she dispatched her enemies, she looked simply irresistible.

Rayne – Bloodrayne

Most men wouldn’t think twice if a vixen like Rayne offered them a nice wet love bite. They, however, wouldn’t be as keen on taking up her offer if they found out that she’s a half human, half vampire hybrid whose hickeys leave more than just a small red mark. As I don’t really fancy the idea of being her next meal, I would probably ask her to blunt her teeth just a little bit, before taking her out… well, I guess that would depend on which part of me she wants to eat.

Lara Croft - Tomb Raider

I know you guys just knew she had to be on this list. So what if she has just celebrated her tenth anniversary and is probably as old as her real life avatar - that doesn’t make her any less desirable. Selling solely due to the fact that her breast size increases with every follow up sequel to the original, it’s the face that I fell in love with first…maybe.

Samus Aran – Metroid

Now we are talking. I would happily place a fortune on my own head just to be with this super sexy bounty hunter from the Metroid series. Let’s be honest, guys. The only reason why I even touched this game was because I just couldn’t resist the thought of seeing her in all her glory. I can’t imagine how some people speculated that she was actually a guy… were they completely blind to the charms of her beautiful long legs?

Dead or Alive Girls

Last, but certainly not the least, we have the pole swinging babes from the Dead or Alive series. Though we have all got our personal favorites, be it Kasume, Christie or Hitomi, you have to agree that each of them can generate enough heat to speed up Global Warming. The only problem is that if you try your moves on them, they will just kick your teeth out. It’s so much safer to simply gawk at them from a really safe distance.

While these beauticious babes score the highest on my list, there are several others who are equally as hot as any one of these coded eye candies. And while I am neither Japanese nor crazy and you will not see posters of any of them on my bedroom, I certainly do enjoy playing games if I am allowed to play them with a hot looking chick. Sexist? So sue me.
