Lame Women in Games: Maria of Castlevania

Here’s a clip of a lame woman in a video game. Her sole quest in life is to increase her breast size. Do you know what ALL lame women in gaming have in common? They were probably created by men.  Whether its a game that ignores our ability to think beyond babies and marriage or a game that reduces a woman (like Maria of Castlevania) to a brainless boob chaser without a serious story line. We can count on some dude chasing dollar signs to give us a good laugh. That’s the only saving grace of the video clip below. It made me laugh. Poor Maria.

This is why we need more women designing video games. Do you think a woman with power was present during the brainstorming session around this character?
