   23 Jan 2010 ~ 1:34pm Koreish I'd like to point out that the only other significant female protagonist is Samus. Which really limits the value of most recognizable female protagonist.

   23 Jan 2010 ~ 6:21pm Snarkasm Faith from Mirror's Edge? Alyx Vance from HL? (Or are we limiting to playable protagonists?)

   26 Jan 2010 ~ 5:43pm chrisWhite I can think of a few more, the girl from Beyond Good and Evil and Chloe from Uncharted come to mind (I've never played Uncharted nor been that interested in it not having a Playstation and I know her).
   
   Faith was quite an iconic character I thought in Mirrors Edge, creative and totally different from anything else out there but it never got the attention it would have needed to be even considered for Guinness, shame because it was a more interesting game then most of the Tomb Raiders IMHO.

   26 Jan 2010 ~ 6:25pm Koreish I'm pretty sure it's playable protagonist and Beyond Good and Evil and Mirror's edge are horribly underrated games so I doubt either of them were considered.

    I don't think Mirror's Edge was entirely underrated, while in incredibly game it's quite possibly the most frustrating game I've played in the last ten years. It wasn't just hard, it was hard in ways that were just poor design. At least on a console, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually holds up much better on a PC.

    27 Jan 2010 ~ 3:45am Snarkasm Mirror's Edge was a ton of fun on PS3 - the mechanics were just challenging enough to be fun and able to be mastered.
    
    I <3ed it, anyway.
