Femme Fatal, Gaming Gals, Digital Dames. Whatever you call them, they're awesome. This week, we're looking at some of gaming's most iconic ladies to find out who is your favorite and why?

Did your favorite not make the list? Add your favorite female character and we'll add her to the next wave!

I voted for Faith. I like her not wanting to use violence against those who would be quick to use it against her. This was a tough vote as Lara Croft also is pretty cool. I like her spelunking/treasure hunting to extreme levels.

In terms of other characters I wish were on the list:

Alyx Vance - a great character in the Half Life series.

Sarah Kerrigan - leader of a huge army that will crush anything in its way.

Elena Fisher - willing to call Nate out on his random behaviour and can look after herself. Has covered wars you know.

Bayonetta is definitely my favourite female character.

For the poll I voted Lara Croft.

I like Anya Stroud cause she's always an underrated female character.

Out of those, Lara Croft.

Of all time, probably Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2. Ciri from Witcher 3 a close second.

Jade from Beyond Good & Evil was by far the best one from this list, but there wasn't much to choose from.

It's funny that they touted the new Lara Croft as an improvement over the previous one, but they forgot to give her a personality and spent the whole game beating the crap out of her. She's just as simplistic of a character, but now she's considerably more cowardly and pathetic.

Aya Brea was One of the greatest Female characters in any game. Certainly deserves at least a nomination.

I am a guy so do not really have a favorite female character.

But if i had to choose , i would pick Lara Croft, she is despite the ludonarrative dissonance in the game , the best of the ones in the poll.

Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins & Inquisition.

I'd also throw in Yennefer from The Witcher 3 ('cause I also liked her in the books). Ciri, too.

Voted for Lara Croft, tho', but w/ the latest version in mind. :)

None of these, it used to be Lara but all my love for her is as good as dead like her new game.

For me it's probably Aigis from Persona 3.

Pretty sure Chun Li belongs on the list, probably more renowned than all of them minus maybe Lara Croft.

My pick is none of them regardless. As I find the selection odd.

Flonne from Disgaea is my personal pick.

The super natural Lara in my case. But Faith was great too. And the new girl in MSG5 is kind of cool too so far.

Samus without a doubt. She is the reason why I prefer to play a female character when given the choice of gender. When I finished Metroid with the best ending and learned the true identity of Samus no one on the schoolyard believed me until someone else did it.

Yuna from Final Fantasy. She was really pretty too. I wish they remade FFX instead of FFVII. But I loved Faith from Mirror's Edge too. Hardcore and everything. And Bayonetta is great. She's the female version of Dante. And Yennifer from Witcher 3 is awesomesauces.

FemShep #1 is a nobrainer. I would add Liara, Morrigan (DA series) and Sarah Kerrigan because why not.

Anyway, I voted for Samus this one.

Oh please, GS, keep your politics out of my videogames. Where's the favourite male character category, huh!? Disgusting.

Naaaaaaaaah, I kid. Though my favourite is not among them (I did vote Faith). That would be Kate Walker, of course. Or Ciri, even though you don't get to play as her much.

I choose not vote since my reaction to the list was mostly no and one maybe.

There are a number of female character that I think are good. Princess Peach is on the list and would also get place on the strong character list.

More options needed! Where's Bayonetta? Where're the many Final Fantasy ladies? Where's Chell? Where's Alex from Half-life? Where's the rest of Nintendo?

Out of this list, I chose Anya, but the list is far too short. Also, I'm surprised no one listed Cortana.

@GameSpot: Awww, why is Ellie from the Last Of Us not on here.

She definitely deserves to at least be on the list in my opinion
