This is a belated quickie: Bits ‘n’ Bytes Gaming, a fellow gaming site that Tap likes to flirt with now and then (and home to Tap regular Armand), have recently posted up a collection of top 5 female game characters lists as selected by the BnB Gaming staffers as well as a few guest writers. Amongst those guest writers you’ll find myself, Matthew ‘Steerpike’ Sakey and Joel Goodwin a.k.a. Harbour Master of Electron Dance (obligatory mention of The Aspiration — seriously, go and check it out) presenting our own personal favourites.
The collection is a well rounded and varied bunch including many of the usual suspects like Alyx Vance and Jade but it also features a few refreshing and less obvious characters. I found it surprisingly difficult to narrow my list down to a mere five, which can only be a good thing really. Great fun and well worth a look.

Sniper Wolf and Heather Mason, represent. Good lists guys, although the insistence on Alex Vance being in the top two is just another example of why I feel like an idiot for never playing Half-Life 2 properly.
Also, is that magazine style aesthetic for Bits ‘N’ Bytes a mobile specific skin? I’ve just been browsing that on my iPad and it was an absolute joy. Awesome stuff!
It was a surprise for us to see how it looks on the iPad. It’s pretty neat! I think it’s just the WordPress theme we use, but hell, it’s a win!
Great topic and article, BnB. Thanks for the heads up, Gregg.
