Top Eleven: Video Game Women Teenage Erik Would've Shelled Out Money For A Game Just To See Them In It

Damn you, C.P.  You know who you are.

In my last top eleven, I discussed female characters that I found to be great in video games.  Some had some issues (Juliet Starling is by no means perfect, I've said several times before), and some were quite solid, but I really thought each one had something that made them special in a form of media that can either leave a women to simply be so much eye candy, to be regulated to a maternal/healer type, or simply have it be the princess waiting to be rescued.

But apparently that's not enough for some people.  Some people apparently want to see just how low I can bring myself down and turn on that base part of the human brain that thought that USA Up All Night and late-night Cinemax were the greatest inventions mankind ever created.  The part of my brain that thought the picture of Teri Hatcher wearing nothing but a Superman cape wrapped around her was the pinnacle of art.  The part of my brain that was actually willing to give Melrose Place a chance because, the first time I accidentally channel surfed past it, Josie Bissett took her shirt off.

(That one didn't last long.  ...at least, not the first time I figured I'd try watching.  Now, when Laura Leighton joined the cast, I stuck around for a few more episodes)

In other words, they want me to act like a teenager again.  That sound you hear is teenage me trying to go Superboy Prime  and high-five me through time and space.

So here it is, the top eleven characters that, if I had the money at the time and/or could sneak it into the house, I probably would've bought the game just to see these women.

...I'm going to feel so dirty after this.
