The Best Barefoot Babe Videogames of 2009

My first (and last) poll of 2009 showed off some nice results on what videogames readers saw as the best title for barefoot babes.

Tekken 6 at first place got 42% of the votes, and was a pretty no-brainer winner. For starters, it was the newest game in the poll (even if the console versions were based on an arcade game that had been out for at least a year and a half) and consequently had the best graphics and animation, as well as a host of barefoot-able hotties (by customization) who could kick ass and looked amazingly luscious while at it. The quality of the graphics in Tekken 6 easily make Asuka's and company's bare feet the most kissable and sexy in-game bare toes and soles yet seen in a game. Detailed toes and toenails, fleshy soles, arches, sexy calves and ankles... the works! Surely Tekken 6 will be a permanent fixture on my PS3 (or Xbox360s for other gamers) from now on. Here's looking to the future, and perhaps Tekken 7..?

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 came in at second place with 11% of the votes. This sexy vacation game on Xbox360 surely wasn't lacking in hot, bikini-clad babes, given that it gave us the whole female cast of DOA. TONS of sexy cutscenes or gravure cinemas, a vast selection of scandalous swimsuits and a slew of hot babes made up for the game's flaws- the need to grind for hours in an often frustrating game of relationships and gifting to open up all the girls to the sexiest swimsuits and scenes and the relatively less-advanced quality of the girls' character models and feet compared to more recent games. Still, where else can you get barefoot, bikini-clad kick-ass supermodels to dance for your pleasure? I'm looking forward to the portable version of this series in a few months.

Streetfighter III Third Strike comes in at third place with 10% of the votes. Most surely the one streetfighter game that favors foot fans thanks to the inclusion of not one but three barefoot cuties in the roster- adorable ninja Ibuki, karate tomboy Makoto and leggy Capoeira princess Elena. Thankfully this title is readily found for the PS2 or Dreamcast- hopefully a version will eventually be available for download on PS3 or Xboxlive. Fingers crossed, we'll be seeing both Ibuki and Makoto in the upcoming Super Streetfighter IV.

Sharing fourth place at 9% of the votes each are Soulcalibur IV and Tomb Raider Underworld. Namco's latest blades-and-babes game is nothing short of awesome, with a huge selection of sexy femme fatales to undress down to their skimpy underwear. But as gorgeous as the game is overall, the quality of the girls' in-game feet pale in comparison to those in Tekken 6 and Virtua Fighter 5R. That little nitpick aside though this is still easily the best game for awesomely hot barefoot babes other than Tekken 6 you can get on a console, with endless hours of intense fighting action. Meanwhile, Lara Croft's latest adventure sees the classic heroine at her sexiest, with her latest character model having quite lovely and kissably detailed feet that you can ogle for hours as she runs around caverns and ruins, getting more grimy (and sexy) as she goes. The Xbox360 version is the one to get, since it has DLC for sexier swimsuits available, as well as further adventures for the barefoot adventuress to pad through.

Bringing up the rear is Virtua Fighter 5R, which with only 6% of votes comes in at last place, losing to 'Other' games (which got 8%). Sadly, while VF5R certainly has a hot bevy of babes who can now be customized to show off their perfectly delicious toes and soles for players' enjoyment, the game is only available in Japanese arcades. No one outside of Sega of Japan knows if we'll ever see a home port. Sadly, stuff like the sexy intros won't make it to consoles, but for the possibility of having barefoot Pai, Sarah, Aoi, Eileen and Vanessa on our TV screens, we'll keep waiting, even if it's for VF6.

I'll surely try to post more about the various games and babes from this poll in future posts, and surely feature the girls of Dead or Alive (which I amazingly neglected to post about last year). This first poll was quite fun so expect more polls to come every month. Later then!

Janine (The Real Ghostbusters)

Okay! My first post for the year is a retro-clip from the classic cartoon, The Real Ghostbusters. This awesome series was one of the really few titles that improved on the original source material- particularly on some fan service. While in the live movies, Janine Melnitz was pretty understated (but really, actress Annie Potts was actually quite fetching), the cartoon version was a hot and sexy redhead, a megane beauty indeed. Well, Miss Melnitz actually got to show off her bikini body in the episode Devil from the Deep, where a heat wave prompted Janine to show up at work in just her swimsuit. Nicely enough, she shows off some nice sole shots as well. It's easy to see though that none of the Ghostbusters were foot guys. Surely us foot fans would probably be glued to Janine's desk, giving her foot massages all day in between ghost alerts. So check out the cool clip below and enjoy this first bit for 2010!

Looking forward to Another Soleful Year...

Man, time moves fast. It's a New Year, and first and foremost I'd like to thank my friends and followers here on the blog for making my first year of footblogging quite a fun experience.

It's been a wonderful year thanks to the arrival of Tekken 6, which is far and away the best game to get for the hottest barefoot babes in gaming. That said, there are quite a lot of games and included babes which I incredibly wasn't able to cover in 2009, so that's a lot to look forward to in the weeks and months to come. We've got several titles to look forward to in 2010...

Super Streetfighter IV. Capcom's 3D fighting sequel is due out in Spring, perhaps in April. With barefoot bombshell Juri already in, this is, at this point, a must-get already. But this hot title is set to get even hotter with the inclusion of even more barefoot babes in the form of Streetfighter 3's Ibuki and Makoto. I'm keeping my eyes peeled on this one.

Heavy Rain. Just recently posted about, this sexy thriller has mature elements off the bat- including nudity which thankfully includes bare feet care of hot virtual reporter Madison Page.

Dead or Alive Paradise. 2009 was disappointing in terms of barefoot babe games for the PSP, but Tecmo's port of their DOAX titles to the portable may rectify this. Bikinis, babes and bare feet, in your pocket all the time. Awesome.

Virtua Fighter 5R. No, there hasn't been any confirmation or word yet of any console release, but I'm including this as a continued hope that Sega gets off their asses and give us this hot fighter, complete with barefoot female fighters aplenty, to the home. Crossing fingers then.

For my New Year's resolution I guess I will try to post more and better, and more consistently. More vids, more babes and more games as I can find them. 2010 should be another great time for our never-ending hunt for shoeless muses to enjoy. Once more, thanks to everyone for following Virtual Soles, and here's to months more of polygon ped pampering!

Merry Christmas and Madison Paige (NSFW Preview Video)

First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my readers and friends here on the Blog. Thank you for a great year of blogging, virtual babe ogling and all-around footlover fun. May you all be happy and safe this holiday season.

One of the most anticipated games on PS3 coming next year, and one that looks to give a lot of beautiful, barefoot virtual babe hotness is Quantic Dream's interactive thriller-drama, Heavy Rain. For the past few months we've been treated to various vids that have been promising everything from an experience that is MORE than just a videogame to the next best thing to sliced bread. But then, here all we need is one thing- where are the barefoot babes??? Well, thankfully this new Polish trailer shows off the goods. Playable babe Madison Paige, the game's hottie, bares all in this vid, appearing topless in her much-anticipated shower scene. But of course, the best part for me is the Night Fight, where the intrepid, insomnia-stricken journalist is attacked by a masked intruder right in her apartment for a thrilling action sequence.

Of course, the best thing about it is that Madison is in her underwear and barefoot the whole time, so you can imagine the potentials for nice foot shots. The scene, which has been talked about in various text previews, is shown in brief snippets in the video. Okay, it's not quite up to the standards of the Chun-Li vs Vega Apartment Fight (but then again, what is), but I know I'm looking forward to playing it myself. For now, check out the sexy trailer for a tantalizing taste of what's to come in February.



Madison is one hot and beautiful heroine, although I must admit I find her face a bit too mannish (all the more reason to focus on her feet, I guess). Still, I'm sure foot fans all around will jump to give this beauty a relaxing foot massage to lull her to sleep and cure her insomnia. Hopefully the game is all that its being built up to be when it ships in a couple of months.

More Christie! (Tekken 6)


Tekken's Capoeira Princess is one barefoot babe that's gorgeous from head to kissable toes.

I have to admit, I've been neglecting hot Capoeirsta Princess Christie Monteiro, one of Tekken's original barefoot babes, to an almost criminal degree in Tekken 6. What can I do? I've been dazzled (and continue to be dazzled) by hot blonde heiresses and cute and sexy martial arts tomboys all the time.
Luckily though, I've been able to take some time to play with (heheh) the kickfighting Brazilian babe, and I have to say I am liking her a lot. It helps though that I got to outfit my Christie in her uber-sexy Samba outfit, which is little more than a bikini... it's easily one of the sexiest costumes in the game, showing off a lot of her bronzed, blemish-free skin from top to bottom. Couple that with a sexy blonde hairstyle and I have to say I can't take my eyes off Miss Monteiro. Her sexy attacks as well are great, and although I am not a fan of her constantly-moving stance, her penchant for splits, handstands and flips are beyond fun. Check out these fight vids as I use my barefoot Samba Goddess to kick some ass in Ghost Battle.










To be honest, my main is still Lili (with Asuka a close second), but for now it's all about Christie, and I'm glad to give her the spotlight. This bronzed barefoot babe is beyond hot, and I will surely pleasure her with foot massages and kisses all over her perfect and lethal feet after a hard day of kicking arse. For now, enjoy the fight vids!

Mariko (Torajiro Kishi's Devil from Dark Horse Comics)


Say Hello to the ab-sole-lutely gorgeous Mariko.

Here's a quickie. I found this sole-icious artwork online that I know was made for us foot fans. It's the cover to the second issue of Devil, by manga artist Torajiro Kishi. The comic, which debuts in early 2010, is a sci-fi/manga take on vampirism, in which a Vampire 'virus' is unleashed on the world. The soleful beauty featured on issue 2's cover is the ravishing Mariko, who is apparently the titular 'Devil' and one hell of a hot vampire. If Mariko is barefoot and hot like in the cover for the whole comic, I think I'll be following this series like a brain-hungry zombie.

The comic will be released by Dark Horse Comics, so if you're interested chase it down at your favorite comic stores next year (issue 2, from which the above artwork is the cover, is due out March 2010. For now though, enjoy the artwork and imagine yourself worshipping, touching and kissing Mariko's pale and perfect soles and toes.

Even More Juri (Super Streetfighter IV)


This vicious vixen just loves to feel her opponent's faces smash on her bare soles... what a girl.

It's still a few months tlll the release of Super Streetfighter IV, and while we're all still awaiting the final confirmation of more barefoot hotties in Capcom's fighting sequel, we've been blessed with several more screenshots of the sexy Taekwondo Vixen Juri Han laying the Smacketh Down with her lovely and lethal feet. As you can see from the pics, one great thing in SSFIV's polygon peds is that Juri's feet BEND. She's got joints in her toes, which allow them to curl down or up, which is not common for in-game, CG feet these days. That alone is something cool to note for foot fans, and a note that really, Miss Han is a babe made for our loving. Heheh...


Juri knocks Cammy off her feet. Surely those boots are weighing Cammy down... perhaps the British blonde should consider ditching those Doc Martens and going barefoot. She might like it... I know we would.


More ass-kicking from Juri to Cammy. And more views of Juri's bendable feet. The devs really made sure to go into detail with Juri's peds... I can't wait to see all her animations and moves in the final game.


Nice toenails. Love this screenie, as we get a nice view of Juri's talented and deadly digits. It's like she's raising her foot to our mesmerized faces and saying, "Love them? Then start kissing!" Yeah, she'd be the type to say that...


Juri takes it to The Boss. I can't wait to see anime Juri in action, in the animated story cinematics that have been revamped for SSFIV. Maybe we'll see her dominate the competition and stand over her defeated foes, foot pressing on their faces.


Juri's Counter. One of the TKD vixen's moves is a cool counter that lets her 'teleport' as a response to getting hit. Nice surprise to give unsuspecting foes.


EAT FEET! My favorite screenshot of the lot, with Juri giving a sexy double-footed uppercut to Big Boss Seth. I just love how Juri's feet are nicely curled upwards to give the full force of her heels into the attack. Man, Seth's lucky (?) to taste such lovely soles up close. I know I love this move to pieces, and I'm sure all of you guys do too... heheh...

Man, Juri gets sexier and hotter with every new screenshot. This babe is reason alone to get Super Streetfighter IV, but we can almost be sure that there's more goodies for us barefoot fans to come in this upcoming fighting sequel. Stay tuned in early 2010 for barefoot babe awesomeness!
