Heard of Christmas in July?

Well, it's August, but we're still going to give you an early present this year: a look at the ladies who will be red-ringing your eyes all winter long. We included titles being released between mid-September and early December, but buyer beware: drop dates are always subject to change, so please don't stab us with virtual pitchforks if your pixel satisfaction gets put on hold. Good? Good. Now let's go...





Rachel, Ayane, and Momiji (Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2)
Release Date: September 29, 2009

Mr. Ryu Hayabusa definitely has the edge when it comes to the female department, especially in the upcoming game exclusive to the PS3. Ayane, of Dead or Alive fame, Momiji, from Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on the Nintendo DS, and Rachel, from the original NGS, will all make appearances and be playable in the game's online co-op mode. Unfortunately, you'll have to give up on turning your ruminations of playing Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon with them into reality—they just want to slice people's faces off.




Elena Fisher and Chloe Frazer (Uncharted 2)
Release Date: October 13, 2009

As if Nathan Drake didn't have enough girl problems the first time around, he not only has to deal with nosy journalist Elena again, but also Chloe, a tall, skinny treasure-hunter after the same gold as Drake. Get yer popcorn ready, guys: The best cat fight in video game history is about to go down.



Alisa Boskonovitch (Tekken 6)
Release Date: October 27, 2009

As much as we'd like to talk about the other women in the new Tekken game, we're focusing on the newest addition to the group: Alisa. She looks like she belongs in a theater production of Swan Lake, but her cutesy demeanor is just a front. She's a military-grade weapon with the ability to summon chainsaws and airplane wings. Yeah, this is where you cry Uncle.




Ada Wong and Claire Redfield (Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles)
Release Date: 2009, maybe?

These two have been around for quite some time, but we've only been privy to their beauty while they were busy shooting lead into possessed beings. Why not relax a bit, girls? Maybe take a vacation, say, to a beach with the Dead or Alive girls? Just sayin'.
