I was going to type a response but this.
Also, it bothers me when people say "if over-sexualised women bother you, just buy another game". What other fucking game? They're in every game.
1)Portal
2)Call of Duty
3)Bioshock series
4)Katamari games
5)Twisted Metal
7)Games where you're controlling a spaceship shooting at stuff
8)Zelda
9)Mario
10)at least 90% of racing games
11)LittleBigPlanet
12)Resistance
13)Age of Empires 3
14)The Ship
and I can keep going.
Really if you're going to say there are no games without scantily clad women my only conclusion is that you aren't looking.
yeah, ther arent any scantily s´dressed women-not hard if there are barely women at all..
so a few nice categorys for your list:
a).Women are irrelevant because gender doest matter or because the DONT EXIST IN THESE GAMES (token girls or irrelevant npc arent in):1,(yes, its very irrelevant whether chell is f or m-i think i didnt noticed it first time.)
2,4,7,10*11,13,14
b)women are TRESURES, Prizes, DAMSEL :means objects. No real character, background, they are there to motivate but utterly irrelevant for the gameplay. They are nice side objects (eg in racing games)2,(0,66% of nr 3 ),8,9,10,12(and 98% of all ego shooter)
c) games where you are the women: 1
d) games with good made female characters-but there are solely for the player or too dumb to live alone or are characters but mcguffins the same time(well made mcguffins, but mcguffins nonetheless)(0,33% of nr 3)
e)Game where there is a female character, not scantily clothes, very well built character, independent from the main character (eg no damsel in distress or powerless or lie a child which has to be saved or whatever): ...
so, where were we?
good female characters? no
in most of your games female characters doesnt exist or are as important as a flower in the background, so they doesnt count. (eh racer, most fps, most stuff like katamari or such)or its not important. chell being a she wasnt something i´ve noticed.(that's not bad, but if you dont know whether the chara you move is f or m or ? that the category sex/gender is irrelevant here.)
if they exist they are most time damsels, prizes, so like moving objects without any character and utterly incompetent as acting persons in the game (zelda is best example-in the male form, shiek, zelda is a fucking badass. but mere seconds she degrade into the blondeharíred-improper-dressed-well-mannered-princess her brain gets dumb down and she gets trapped. (same as tetra-pirate queen, killer, badassery deluxe. then she gets kidnapped, becomes a princess and gets bored to death while link has all the fun(which he has been capable of having if you look at her career as a captain-and being a captain is something you have to earn and earn.)
so jeah, that arent any naked fucktoys. these are on one hand pretty background objects, mcguffins or just in-existent and on the other hand there is one well written female besides liz(which is a mcguffin ..)-clementine. the walking dad, aeh, dead was a very good example HOW TO write female characters.
i dont know twisted metal, so i cant think about a good category.

kick? sure.
