Few Heroines In Video Games

Over the years, the video game industry has seen a rise in female gamers and in many cases they have tried to take advantage of this boom by trying to lure and keep these women players. However Pantagraph has asked the question. With so many female video game players, why are there so few heroines in video games?

While there are a few tough chicks such as Lara Croft the majority of women in video games are dull or just plain sex objects for young teenage boys. There are a few games coming up that I assume are aimed at women but three out of hundreds is still a very small step.
