Take The Escapist Girl Power Quiz

Take The Escapist Girl Power Quiz

Some people say videogames are a boy's club, but these ladies might disagree.

This week, we'll be reviewing Bayonetta, the new action title featuring the lovely and dangerous (and quite possibly bat-shit crazy) main character of the same name. In recognition of this newest member of the glam squad, this week's quiz is all about those digital members of the fairer sex.

You may notice that some particularly well-known characters are missing from the quiz - you'll find no Lara, no Peach, no Alyx, no Samus, no Jade. While they're all great gals, they tend to get all the glory when it comes to talking about female characters, so we've sidelined them this time around.

As always, you can take as long as you like on the quiz, but your cumulative time will affect your position on the leaderboards.

When you're done taking the quiz, make sure you tell us who your favorite female videogame character is. As for mine, you need look no further than my avatar.

[Onyx Oblivion]

woot! 90%! and I only played like 4 of those games. The rest I just knew from hearing about.

Favorite female: At this point, I have no clue.

Figured it out!

Wild Flower from Jade Empire

She's a demonically possessed little girl! By 2 demons at once!

or Alma from F.E.A.R.

 

[dalek sec]

Christ I bombed on this one... 20%

Favorite female character is Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil series.

 

[Yassen]

That was quite tricky for me, since I've only ever played Mirror's Edge out of the list of games in that quiz.

 

[LeonLethality]

Hmmm my favorite is a draw between Samus and Agrias (Who I was pleasantly surprised to see in this quiz)

70% Not too bad.

 

[Simalacrum]

Oh dear, I got 2 out of 10! >_<

I guess I know nothing about girls in videogames... but hey, at least a separate quiz said that I knew girls inside-out in real life

My favourite female videogame character is Alyx Vance, she's much more likeable as a personality than other characters.

 

[KittywifaMohawk]

30% >.<
That didn't really go so great for me.
I've barely played any of those games.

 

[DuplicateValue]

50%

I hadn't played any of those games so it was all random guessing. xD

 

[TheNamlessGuy]

DELETED

 

[Teh_Doomage]

80% on the first go...not bad.

My favorite female character....recently, Morrigan...Dragon Age...mmmm

 

[prinxess]

50%, I guessed them all apart from the Perfect Dark Zero, one. xD

 

[SaunaKalja]

20% :.

I don't think I've played any of those games. I knew the Mirror's Edge answer and guessed some other one correctly

 

[Sir Ollie]

50%

Favourite female character?

Kate Archer No One Lives Forever.

 

[irishdelinquent]

70% first go around, currently in the top three! (not that it will last long there )

Favourite female character for me would probably be Nabooru of the Gerudo.

 

[Zweiblumen]

I got 10%, and it was a guess. I have not played a single one of those games, nor have I heard most of the names.

As for favourite female character, I kind of liked Kerrigan from SC (both before and after her incident). I can't really think of a female character in a game that I haven't found at least slightly annoying. At least I can't remember one (except for Kerrigan).

Actually, also Jan Ors, from when I played Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast

That said, the male characters aren't always intriguing either. Though my favourites are much more that, favourites (rather than just not annoying among a lot of annoying characters).

 

[LTK_70]

30%. That's slightly above average considering there was nothing even remotely familiar to me in there.

Favourite female? Hmm, that's tricky. For nostalgic reasons I'm gonna go with Nikki from Pandemonium for now. ^^

 

[Ultress]

6out of 10, knew some guessed the rest.

As for favorite female Virgina Maxwell from Wild Arms 3, she started out inexperienced and a bit dense but develops into a capable leader for her 4 man drifter squad.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Well I bombed that one. 20% yeesh.
As for favourite female game character... IDK, um... I've never really thought about it before. Although special mention does go to Samus Aran, really badass bounty hunter.

 

[Mr. Fister]

5/10. I guess I don't know my video game women.

Oh, and look no further than my avy for my favorite female game character.
