10 Legendary Video Game Heroes You Won't Recognise Now
8. Samus Aran - Metroid
In theory their really isn't anything wrong with over-sexifying game heroes, providing it's done with the best intentions (gaming is an escapist medium after all, why not look at some beautifully-rendered character models in the process?)
But when you look at the really sleazy way the new Samus appears in all the promotional artwork for titles like Other M - as well as the fact Nintendo have gotten away from her being a kickass female and more into something that looks like one of the Dead or Alive girls - it's a whopping blow for someone that could've been so much more than just eye-candy.
