October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, so I'm devoting a series of articles to those tough video vixen queens and their incomparable virtual 'assets'.
Each article will bestow upon its recipient the prestigious 'best assets in gaming' award. There are many worthy recipients from which to pick -- but I'm willing to dig deep in order to find the winners.
All of the virtual women selected for my prestigious 'best assets in gaming' award have at least two very strong qualities: they are strong and capable. (What were you thinking?) They kick serious butt in their respective games. They are ultimately fighters of one kind or another.
Of course, being women, these busty video game babes have other 'assets' as well -- but you'll never ask them "are those real?" because 1) they'd probably eviscerate you; and 2) you already know that they aren't. But who cares? We can admire them all the same.
Remember, this is for a cause greater than ourselves -- raising awareness about breast cancer. I suspect it may also raise other things in the core male video game player demoggraphic. (Both hands on the keyboard, please.)
Winner #1: "Ivy" (Isabella Valentine)
Game: Soul Calibur IV
Soul Calibur is an A-list PS3/Xbox 360 fighting game franchise courtesy of Namco Bandai. I know I'm mainly a PC gamer, but I'm willing to cross platform barriers and go the extra mile for this topic (for you, the reader, of course).
Given that Soul Calibur IV takes place in the 16th century, it's safe to say Ivy is a bit less restrained than her British nationality might suggest. She (and many of her Soul Calibur 4 female comrades) also make me wonder if Soul Calibur's T rating actually refers to the intended age group for the game and not something else.
Regardless, Ivy is clearly a woman of confidence, eschewing practical things like armor because she's just that good with her 'snake-sword' (don't even get me started on that one.) Confidence is sexy, right? And she's a warrior, something all women can aspire to -- well, maybe on some level anyway.
Sure, her gravity-defying funbags aren't 'real' -- but it's impossible not to be aware of them. I'm certain she would face breast cancer head on and decapitate it.
Now go run a 5K or something to help fight breast cancer and raise awareness.
And, in all seriousness:
