Top ten list of female video-game characters you should idolise
Discussions to the tune of ‘zomg teh jubblies on teh Dead or Alive birds are da hax0r, w00t!’ are as commonplace on the ‘tinternet as rumours about the iPhone release date, so I’m not surprised to discover the latest top ten list of ‘the hottest game babes to date’ doing the rounds of the gaming blogs this week.

1.) The Register’s Apple and Google ID phone – Both respective parties have dropped their iPhone and Google mobiles and are collaborating to produce the ‘ID’, which the Register claimed ”has no power switch. In fact, there are no buttons at all…the “ID” is incapable of making or receiving telephone calls – but Apple says this is a feature most of its target market won’t miss”. They even had a ‘statement’ from an Apple engineering source, who blabbed “People said they wanted an iPhone above all, to make a statement about themselves…let’s face it, they don’t like talking and most of them have no one to call anyway”. Admit it – you want one.
