00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down the men and women in video games who
00:13defined the last 20 years with undeniable pixelated sex appeal.
00:27Joanna Dark – Perfect Dark A futuristic super spy with major femme fatale
00:40energy, complete with an all-in-one tight-as-hell leather jumpsuit.
00:44Yeah, Ms. Dark was tailor-made for the early gaming scene.
00:47A callback to the sexy secret agents of spy thrillers past, Joanna's main exploits may
00:52have been conducted via FPS, but her allure is undeniable.
00:57Even more so when you include that fiery hairstyle of hers that she was rocking in
01:00Perfect Dark Zero.
01:02Just because she's more inclined to shoot than seduce doesn't mean we can't appreciate
01:05her time as Rare's most dazzling heroine.
01:14Lulu – Final Fantasy X
01:25We all know that the heart of this game is the love story between its star-struck leads.
01:29It's sweet, it's beautiful, it's tragic, but let's be honest, any time Lulu appeared
01:35on screen she instantly grabbed our attention.
01:38Sultry, sarcastic, and adorned in one of Final Fantasy's most freeing attires, Lulu manages
01:45to mesh eye candy whilst also being a decent magic caster for the group.
01:49She's the party's resident ice queen and motherly figure all rolled into one, who will
01:54likely cast a curse on you if you stare too long.
02:02Rain – Blood Rain Vampires have, and always will, walk the line
02:12between gruesome and alluring, though few have managed to encapsulate that more than
02:17this brutal bloodsucker.
02:19Whether she's eliminating other vampires or members of the Third Reich, Rain not only
02:23makes it seem easy, but looks good while doing it.
02:26Might have something to do with her signature leather corset, choker, crimson hair, as well
02:30as those twin blades of hers.
02:32She's as menacing as she is sensual, which is why her appeal has endured to this day,
02:36despite the dismal fates of her franchise.
02:47Jade – Beyond Good and Evil Half the reason fans have been so desperate
03:00for a sequel to this classic of the genre was thanks to how engrossing the world, combat,
03:05and narrative Beyond Good and Evil offered upon debut.
03:08The other half is very much due to how endearing its emerald fireball of a lead was.
03:13Inquisitive, handy in a fight, and armed with her iconic green attire.
03:17Jade lived up to her name in numerous ways, shining as a character and in the hearts of
03:22retro gamers everywhere.
03:33Jeanette and Therese – Vampire, The Masquerade, Bloodlines
03:48Vampire psychosis.
03:49You'd think such a thing would be terrifying, but thanks to the contrasting looks and personalities
03:54of these sisters, they somehow made it dangerously attractive.
03:58Jeanette is the party girl always up for a bloody good time.
04:02Therese is the no-nonsense politician rocking the glasses and suit combo.
04:06While you're free to pick your poison, the real kicker comes with the reveal that the
04:09two are actually twin personalities sharing the same body.
04:13The choice is yours if you'd rather have one version dominate the other, or allow both
04:17Jeanette and Therese to flourish together.
04:27Ada Wong – Resident Evil 4
04:35We could go on all day about Leon Kennedy and his flawless hair, but when it comes to
04:39femme fatales in video games, there are none who can match the likes of Ada Wong.
04:43And that's especially true when it comes to her time in the franchise's Apex entry.
04:48She's a scene stealer, a double agent as likely to kiss you as she is to kill you,
04:53and we're never truly sure whether she's playing Leon like a fiddle, or amping up the
04:57sexual tension out of habit.
04:59Ada has always been a catch, as uncatchable as she is, but nowhere is that better demonstrated
05:04than in this landmark game.
05:13Midna – True Form – The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
05:26For the majority of Link's time navigating the Twilight Realm, he's accompanied by
05:30Midna, the adorable gremlin with a sharp tongue, sour personality, and mischievous sensibilities.
05:36Overall, a great companion.
05:39And then the finale happened, where Midna's true form was revealed as Princess of the
05:43Twilight Realm.
05:44To say she got a glow up is an understatement.
05:47Going from an imp to a goddess not only in terms of height, but also overall risque,
05:51Midna's true form honestly made us forget who Zelda even was.
06:01Nate & Drake – Uncharted – Drake's Fortune
06:10Is it the best of Drake's adventures?
06:12Definitely not.
06:13But it did introduce the world to one of gaming's most beloved treasure hunters.
06:17Inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones, with way more comedic chops amidst the bullets,
06:22Nate was an instant hit.
06:24It certainly didn't hurt that he was a ruggedly handsome joker at that.
06:27While his characterisation would only become more refined in the sequels to come, there's
06:32no denying he certainly made a splash throughout his initial romp through the jungle.
06:45Juno Eclipse – Star Wars The Force Unleashed
06:59On second thought, maybe turning to the dark side isn't such a bad idea.
07:03An officer and ace pilot of the Empire, Eclipse is very much the dark reflection of Leia.
07:09Beautiful and beguiling, constantly trying to balance her own moral compass and her duty
07:13to those she has sworn to serve, becoming one of the contributing factors that leads
07:17protagonist Starkiller to the light.
07:19She may be a minor character in the vast tapestry of Star Wars bays, but she's certainly made
07:24an impact here.
07:35Ezio Auditore da Firenze – Assassin's Creed II
07:46The original Italian stallion, this master assassin continues to outshine his predecessors
07:51and successors throughout the course of the franchise and human history.
07:55How so?
07:56Well, aside from the disarming accent, impeccable drip and eagerness to make both love and war,
08:01Ezio is just a compelling character.
08:04He's flawed, vengeful, funny, wounded and yet finds a way to channel it all into this
08:08endearing eliminator who is way too easy on the eyes.
08:12No wonder none can reach the same heights he could.
08:20Miranda Lawson – Mass Effect 2
08:30She was engineered to be the perfect woman, from her combat skills to her intellect to
08:34her looks, the latter speaks for itself.
08:37Starting off as a stone wall before mellowing into a trusted companion, Miranda is a great
08:42ally to have should you invest the time into her loyalty mission.
08:45As for those who chose her as a romance, good boy.
08:48Let's just say, should Shepard make the right moves, Miranda's not afraid to use
08:52what she's got to her advantage, swapping out the icy exterior for something far more
08:57sizzling.
08:58Adam Jensen – Day of Sex, Human Revolution
09:12Icarus flew too close to the sun and torched his wings.
09:16Adam Jensen ate an explosion, was augmented with cybernetic ligaments and somehow came
09:20out sexier.
09:22Maybe it's the voice, maybe it's the built in shades, maybe it's how he can take a
09:26man apart with his bare hands.
09:28But even amongst the blood, carnage and robotics, Adam still finds a way to remain effortlessly
09:33attractive.
09:34Maybe that's why they added the shower scenes in Mankind Divided.
09:48Cortana – Halo 4
09:57This artificial companion to Master Chief has been around for a number of years, but
10:01it was in the fourth mainline entry that Cortana got the mother of all upgrades.
10:06Not only was her new enhanced appearance a feast for the eyes, but even in the midst
10:10of her suffering colossal glitches, Cortana's borderline sensual interactions with the Chief
10:15certainly awoke a few things in Xbox players.
10:18Say what you will about Halo 4, but the handling of Cortana was exceptionally well done.
10:23And that's not just because of her new high res graphics, we swear.
10:34Lara Croft – Tomb Raider
10:45You couldn't ask for a better reboot to one of gaming's most iconic leading ladies.
10:49Ironically enough, while Lara's character was greatly expanded and less focus placed
10:53in… other areas she was known for back in the day, this latest incarnation turned out
10:58to be infinitely more desirable.
11:00Turns out the hardships, gusto, moments of weakness and near death experiences not only
11:05humanised her, but also made her vastly more relatable, and as a result, quite the fetching
11:11survivalist.
11:12Who wouldn't want to be stranded on a haunted, danger filled island with Lara as their partner?
11:24Bayonetta – Bayonetta 2
11:30When it comes to style, sex appeal and savagery, few are as talented in encapsulating all three
11:40as this umbra witch.
11:42While she certainly struck a chord with many during her debut game, for our buck, it's
11:47her appearance in the sequel that left us the most starstruck.
11:50The blue wardrobe with the shorter hair?
11:52She had us under her spell from the first cutscene.
11:55Shooting angels slaying demons with her high heels and her particular brand of sass was
11:59just the cherry on top.
12:13Yennefer – The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
12:23We can see why Geralt was willing to do so much in order to be reunited with his first
12:27love, because Yennefer of Vengerberg is a sorceress like no other.
12:31Her silver tongue can cut down anyone just as fast as her white wolf hubby can slay monsters.
12:37Her command of magic is only second to her ability to manipulate her political rivals
12:41and entice any to her cause.
12:43She might seem a tad prickly on the surface, but after she's established trust, it becomes
12:48clear Yennefer has a playful and wild side to her.
12:51And yes, we're referring to the stuffed unicorn.
12:57Widowmaker – Overwatch
13:14She's an elite assassin who always hits her mark.
13:17A feared sniper who has brought countless deaths to both NPCs and online players.
13:23She's also adorned in the tightest bodysuit in gaming and speaks like the
13:26sorciest French noblewoman you can imagine.
13:29Truly living up to her moniker, Widowmaker will blindside you with her beauty,
13:34before pulling the trigger.
13:35Given how the Overwatch community is more interested in plots than plots these days,
13:41it's fair to say this deadly damsel has had quite the effect.
13:532B – Nier Automata
13:57His wondrous grace has become a god.
14:01His grace has become a god.
14:06Forced to wallow in a future bound in deception, sorrow and death.
14:09An android who has encountered the worst of both man and machine.
14:13Who can cut you down in a nanosecond with that blade of hers.
14:17And yet, as soon as 2B steps onto the scene, all sense of moroseness fades as her design is,
14:23without question, one of gaming's most enthralling.
14:26From the blindfold to her dress, it's techno-gothic at its finest.
14:30Adding an erotic edge to a world marred in pain.
14:33Just how Yoko Taro likes it.
14:46Arthur Morgan – Red Dead Redemption 2
14:56Vanderlyn's most trusted associate.
15:00Raddem Cowboy.
15:01Or Cowgirl.
15:03Or anyone for that matter.
15:04The Dying West's most beloved gunslinger may not be a saint,
15:08but he sure as hell knows how to stir a fire in gamers everywhere.
15:12Maybe it's the nuances of his character as he deals with his own sense of honour,
15:16as well as both the innocence and ne'er-do-wells around him.
15:19Maybe it's that unsurpassed tearjerker of an ending.
15:22Or maybe it's the sheer gravitational pull of his voice.
15:25Not only is he able to wrangle horses like a champ,
15:28but it's fair to say Mr Morgan stole his share of hearts along the way.
15:39Dante – Devil May Cry 5
15:50This cockiest of devil hunters has been around for over 20 years now,
15:54and for the most part he's remained the same.
15:56A sly son of a bitch that loves pizza and slaughtering demons.
16:00But arguably his greatest appearance came from the franchise's most recent entry.
16:05The upgraded visuals certainly didn't hurt his looks,
16:07but most importantly of all, we got to see every facet of Dante on display.
16:12His complicated relationship with Vergil,
16:14his friendship with Krish,
16:15the paternal affection he has for Nero,
16:18as well as his usual smugness.
16:20All held together in a single hybrid demon package that had many a player salivating.
16:34Megara – Hades
16:42Let's not beat around the bush.
16:44The entire cast of Hades are walking thirst traps due to a combination of gorgeous artwork,
16:50expertly crafted personalities and stellar voice work.
16:54Though none fan the flames for Zag, or us, more than Meg.
16:58The first of the Furies is as lethal with her whip as she is with her voice.
17:02Whether she's demanding your surrender, verbally eviscerating you,
17:05or compelling you to get on the bed,
17:07she'll have you wrapped around her finger before you know it.
17:21Lady Dimitrescu – Resident Evil Village
17:33The internet collectively broke when it got a gander at Resident Evil 8's new villainess,
17:38and with good reason.
17:40Sure, there was certainly an element of fear to her,
17:42given that she's a 9 foot tall vampire matriarch determined to hunt you down.
17:47That being said, she's a 9 foot tall vampire matriarch determined to hunt you down,
17:52and we are very okay with that.
17:54The arousal of the online sphere aside, Lady D is a killer character in her own right.
17:59Her dialogue, the sense of dread she brings, and yes, the height difference.
18:03We're not sure how any RE villain is going to top her moving forward.
18:17Kratos – God of War Ragnarok
18:29Everyone's favourite Spartan has been taking heads and breaking beds for many a year by this point,
18:34but it wasn't until he grew a beard and became a daddy that Kratos transcended,
18:38not only as a character, but also as the biggest catch in the entirety of the Nine Realms.
18:43Maybe it's the beautiful writing,
18:45maybe it's Christopher Judge's unholy acting talent,
18:49but the added layer of wisdom and tenderness to the former God of War made all the difference.
18:54We doubt he's going to remain single come the third game.
19:02Astarion – Baldur's Gate 3
19:04Once everyone's in their bedrolls, we'll slip out of ours and find each other.
19:10You're eager, aren't you?
19:12He may be the vampire, but it was the rest of the world that was left thirsty
19:16upon Astarion's arrival into their lives.
19:19A blood-sucking spawn with razor wit and sass beyond measure,
19:22beneath the dark humour and masterful seduction
19:25lies a broken soul chained to a cycle of violence and abuse.
19:29Whether you prefer your vampiric hubby as a redemptive bad boy,
19:32or ascended tyrant, Astarion will always find a way to make your heart flutter.
19:38Neil Newbon is way too good at his job.
20:03All of them.
20:04If you're on your phone, make sure to go into your settings and switch on notifications.
20:10Eve – Stellar Blade
20:21There may not be one ounce of subtlety to be found among this artificial entity
20:26and her next level jiggle physics,
20:28but can you honestly say that Eve isn't easy on the eyes?
20:31And that's all before you get into the ridiculous amount of customisation that goes into her outfits.
20:37Or lack thereof.
20:38Controversy aside, Eve certainly succeeds where intended.
20:42As a beautiful, bodacious bringer of death,
20:45pulling off crazy hack and slash combos with a wardrobe that will leave any and all parties blushing.
20:56Which video game character still has your heart?

21:01Take care, Nero. Adios.
