When the target audience is teenage boys, scantily clad women on the cover of a video game can and will influence the buyers' decision. Scantily clad women work as eye candy for men, and sometimes don't really play a big role in the game. But the scantily clad video game heroines featured here are all important characters!

Lara Croft
Every boy that I know that likes Tomb Raider says: When I saw this [scantily clad] woman on the cover I just knew I had to buy this game! Lara Croft's outfits are revealing, some more than others. In Tomb Raider 2, Lara Croft goes to the mountains in hot pants and a bomber jacket which she doesn't zip all the way up! This is where being scantily clad makes no sense!However, Lara Croft's official creators do not endorse of pornographic material featuring their heroine and have filed lawsuits against violtators.

Rayne
Rayne from the Bloodrayne video games might be a strong character, but she's too scantily clad for my tastes. When her creators agreed for her to "pose" naked for Playboy, it just kind of gave away their intentions. Hope you enjoyed our short article about scantily clad women in gaming.
