The survival-horror genre has a surprising amount of female protagonists, and many of them are well-known characters in the gaming world.
GI have listed their favorite survival-horror babes, as well as some classics that older fans may have forgotten. Go to source for full list.

Mention Survival horror and it immediately garners images of Chris Redfield blasting zombies or James Sunderland bludgeoning pyramid heads with a plank of wood. But in the survival horror genre there are as many iconic female protagonists as there are male. Gaming_Issues pay homage to them today.

    Aya's alright, but no one beats Claire Redfield. Speaking of which, why wasn't she mentioned?!

      That's what I'm wondering...Claire was the first RE female protagonist to get a huge visual overhaul (not to mention how she took out an entire security squad with her handgun while running away from an attack chopper). Then again Heather Mason/Alessa kinda takes the crown for me.

    Meh, its alright. Aren't a couple of those girls just the run of the mill 'wander around a creaky old building and freak out' types?

      Alyssa's probably the only "wander around a creaky old building and freak out" character. Rei is sort of that type too, (though less-so towards the end of the game).

      The others ... not so much.

    Especially Aya and Jill.

    I think Aya is the best of the bunch. The rest aren't that interesting. Especially with that blood...kinky.

    From a straight girl's point of view, I have no idea who's the hottest. (I would have guessed Aya, Rei and Jill. XD). But they're all awesome characters ... except for Alyssa who was annoying. Didn't like ClockTower 3 that much :/

    Jill was awesome, her spot was well deserved though a bit dissapointing to see that Claire Redfield didn't manage to get on the list. She was a badass in CVX.

      Claire got an honorable mention.

      Am I the only one who prefers Jill over Claire? She was a better character, imo. And more iconic to the series.

    Clock tower 3.The only game I ever refused to play because the premise of the game actually disgusted me.

    I'm one of the people you're least likely to offend but this game did just that.

    Oh and the woman who "played" Jill in the intro of RE1 was damn hot.

    I like Jill the best out of them.I don't have a massive poster of Jill on my wall for nothing.
