After Metroid: Other M came out and totally demolished the characterization of Samus Aran, it made me take stock of the sorry state of female game protagonists. I made a list of every video game heroine in my collection, identified the ones I felt stood apart from the rest, and tried to analyze what it was that made them really great. This feature was the result.
