Ambassador Copiozo's Top Three Female Video Game Characters

Okay, so Ambassador Reyes displayed his three top three female characters in video games. I might as well throw my hat into the ring and display my top three. As an added bonus, I'm going go the extra mile and instead of using normal images from gaming, I'm going provide a cosplay picture of each of them, to spice up things a bit. Also you're gonna be a bit surprised by this list if have read my articles in the past and noticed my fanboying over Thief Rikku from FFX-2. I wanted to be fair and have a bit of variety, so one character per franchise/series. Also, if I did put her or Yuna or Paine down...you'd be reading a novel. Enjoy.

Game News - Square-Enix to reorganize from its Financial Mistakes.

Whenever a new game in the Final Fantasy series is released, it is likely that all Square-Enix had to do was sit back and count the money from the profits coming in. But in the past years of 2009 and 2010, it seemed like that's not a reality. After the release of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan and shortly an American release in early 2010, the company saw its title as the fastest selling title ever for Square Enix, going at a record number of five million copies sold. However,in late 2010, they sent out Final Fantasy XIV, which was advertised to be a hefty MMORPG competition for World of Warcraft and a high profit maker for Square (which they put in a lot of money in its

Unfortunately, gaming trends don't make finding a strong, attractive, lead female character as easy to spot as their male counter parts, but video games have created some seriously deep and powerful gaming ladies. These are my personal top 3 female leads that I've met in my last 20 years of gaming. In no particular order.

Yuna – Final Fantasy games are known for their captivating stories. Once Square learned how to utilize CGI, demonstrated in Final Fantasy VII, western audiences were hooked watching these fantasy realms come to life. By the time Final Fantasy X came out, Final Fantasy games had an almost systematic approach to make games and characters that people cared about. Yuna was a character so devoted to her faith that she was freakishly

Personal blogger story of Red Ring

Over winter break I went out of town for about two weeks, and while I was gone I figured that would be the perfect time for maintenance to come in and work on a few things around my apartment. When I returned home I was shocked to see my Xbox completely unplugged and knocked over on its side. At first I just blew it off, and plugged everything back in, didn't thinking twice about it, I turned my Xbox on only to find out it had red ringed! I was furious!

Such a terrible welcome home present! But luckily the company who is in charge

Looks like gamers have been awfully trigger-happy when it comes to Black Ops. Activision recently released statistics on Black Ops players and their ways of life, which basically sum up the fact that they like to shoot and they like to shoot a lot.

Lets remember Black Ops only came out in November. Since then, according to Activision, all players combined have killed 9 times the worlds population and have shot over 1 trillion shots.

Furthermore, over 147 billion COD points have been earned, approximately 2 billion planes and cars combined have been exploded, and, most interestingly, vindictive players have returned fire with over 10 billion paybacks.

Also, the top 3 guns used are the Famas, AK74u, and Galil, with the top ten perks being Marathon, Sleight of Hand, and Lightweight.

Female gaming characters are often women with unrealistic body proportions and idealistic features. And while every woman can admit it is nice to be sexy sometimes, it is definitely disheartening to google image "female gamers" and most of the photos are women in the underwear or naked.

Best

1. Faith from Mirror Edge

2. Jade from Beyond Good and Evil

3. Misty from Pokemon

4. Samus Aran (She's even got the trendy side part and side-swept bangs to complete her look)

Console News - PS3 Saves, No Need for Memory Cards!

As seen here, Sony introduced to its developers of one of its newest feature, the ability save your games via "cloud storage". What is "cloud storage" you ask? "Cloud storage" is where instead of saving data to hardware on the PS3, you may save your data remotely on a server. This method would mean that you can play your PS3 games' saves anywhere atanytime without the need of a memory card.

There are two catches to this feature. First, the service will only be available to those with the Playstation Plus subscription service. Secondly,Sony stated that developers have the option to opt-out of using the cloud storage

Surprise! Although we have already announced news of the bundle and Pink Camouflage controller discounts, the brand new Evil tank top, and the contest with OpTic Gamings girl division channel, Evil has more set in store connected with Girl Gaming Month. Evil wishes to celebrate a very under recognized piece of the gaming population and encourage more women to join the ranks of some already amazing gamers. We want to even the demographic between male and female gamers, and not separate the two, but aid in encouraging the closing of the gap that unfortunately exists. Right now, if you google Girl Gamer, or anything of the like, you are more likely to find more naked pictures of women than anything else, which is why Evil wants to show that it doesnt have to be that way. We are not trying to separate women in any way or stereotype, but wanted to celebrate

Apparently, driving video game players are quicker to and better at passing their licenses to get on the road, and then worse (and more terrifying) at absolutely everything else that involves handling a car. According to a study held by Continental Tyres, gamers are the most overconfident drivers out there, with marginal skills to support their self-belief.

Continental Tyres polled 1,000 gamers and 1,000 non-gamers between the ages of 17 and 30 about their driving habits. Results found that gamers are more likely to crash, be pulled over by a cop, hit things while parking, clip other cars and leave, run red lights (which, my bad, I accidentally did yesterdayguess I support the facts!), and exhibit road rage, among other things.

Most interestingly, the study showed that the gamers got their licenses quicker than the non-gamers, averaging 2 attempts at the licensing exam to the non-gamers 3 tries. This shows the gamers dont necessarily lack in skill, as Continental Tyres safety

Game "Journey" to be Made as Art

Millions of gamers will run up to the plate to defend videogames as a legitimate art form, but not every game is truly artistic. The attribute of being artistic is a difficult attribute to define because every gamer and every critic has their own idea of what makes something undeniably Art. Without going down the path of trying to make a case of what makes a videogame artistic, or what doesn't, let's just say that every year a few titles come out that the general consensus agrees has artistic merit. In recent years these titles have been; Braid, Shadow of the Colossus, Limbo, Flower, Portal, and BioShock, just to name
