That really isn't that suprising. Not many women need another woman in their life......... with a dick.

Some good ones some terrible ones. Can women not be world weary and sarcastic? Is that not the typical game trope regardless of gender? And.. Realistically women of equal weight and athleticism when compared to a man do have less muscle mass.. We have differences between us. Thank evolution.

Lol. That "fact" about most female characters being blonde. That made my day.

While #3 is understandable, a game like Gears of War is supposed to be about a bunch of Meathead Bros

My favorite was "female occupations include sexy scientist and daughter of important man". Nicely done.

The "latex = body armour" one made me giggle, as its probably one of the most frequently abused traits on this list. I'm also not overly fond of female characters who's role in a story begins and ends with "I'm the love interest", not just in games, but in films and literature also.

True, even in Mass Effect with supposed strong female characters, most of them are over-sexualised spunky characters and male fantasies (or males quite literally in the way they act badass to seem relevant) with very little genuine personality. The whole entertainment industry has a sexism problem and it's high time that changes.

Enjoyed the article- all 10 made me laugh/cringe. Luckily, some games do get it right.

Resident Evil 4 is supposed to be campy and therefore doesn't belong here. And as for their mention of Ico, Yorda is as much of a team player as Ico, using what is basically her bodily essence to aid him in navigating throughout the castle.
