Gaming fashionistas: saving the world in style |
Ó
Here's just a few characters (among many others) who manage to save the world while looking like fashion models at the same time:
We kick off this short list with the hero of Capcom's Devil May Cry series, Dante, the one-time model for the Diesel clothing fashion line. With his bad-guy looks and trademark red coat - who could go wrong with red trenchcoats? - this mercenary can always turn to modeling if ever his Devil May Cry shop fails to pull in enough revenue. 
Next up is Cate Archer of No One Lives Forever by Monolith Productions (for the PC, PlayStation 2). 007's female counterpart can give James Bond a run for his money, with her incredibly sharp intellect matching her stylish attractiveness. Clad in cool sixties fashion complete with perfectly styled hair, Cate certainly saves the day in style with her must-have spy equipment, such as exploding lipstick, a hair barrette that also serves as lock pick, and sunglasses with camera zoom.
Another gaming heroine with a rather effortless flair for fashion is Heather from Konami Digital's Silent Hill 3 for the PlayStation 2. It's tough having to run around and deal with zombies alone, but doing so while looking presentable is a big feat in itself. This doesn't mean that Heather looks as if she doesn't break a sweat, all the running around business has visibly taken its toll on her, making her appear slightly smudged in soot. But we still like her anyway.
In the realm of MMORPGs - where heavily armored males and skimpily-clad females abound, there's one title that stands out when it comes to fashion... well, old-style fashion, at least: Sword of the New World (also known as Granado Espada) by IMC Games. One can never go wrong with gowns designed in old Spanish flair, and with snappy tuxedos and military uniforms that never fail to elicit a second glance. Finally, we end this list with quite an unexpected entry: Mario from the Super Mario Brothers franchise. Yes, we know you're muttering something along the lines of "what the heck?" right now, but we're serious.

where is bloodrayne?
how about bullet witch
what about the bad ass Duke?
he was copied by so many so his influence is quite apparent as is his apparel.
If you're gonna include some crap like Mario, why not Sonic the Hedgehog? That dude just cruises around in red shoes and white gloves. AND NOTHING ELSE! Dass just how he get down dawg.
Everyone loves a nudist, honestly.
