Trick or Feet! The Scary Soles of Gaming (2012)

It's that time of the year again, when our thoughts turn to the macabre, the eerie and the unnerving. Yep, it's Halloween, and here is another bunch of scary yet oddly sexy virtual barefoot babes to both titillate and terrify. Trick or Tease!

Alpha-152 (Dead or Alive 5)

Cheerful gummi-like colors don't take away from how scary this babe is...

Our first babe is none other than the gel-like Final Boss of Dead or Alive 4 and the recently-released Dead or Alive 5. The 'Ultimate Weapon' of the evil DOATEC corporation created from the data and material of Kasumi, this bestial female fury has a penchant for hovering around and flitting like a spirit, teleporting out of harm's way and ripping opponent's to shreds with her long combos. Yeah, she may be kinda cute in a bath toy sort of way, but she also creepily groans, moans and overall acts like an animal. Maybe some of you may like that but I just find it scary. Alpha seems to have been destroyed at the end of DOA5's Story Mode, but can death really keep a good scary babe down?

Claudia (Silent Hill)

Yeah, she's kinda fetching but surely reeks of stink and evil...

In all the pantheons of Konami's creepy Silent Hill series, easily the most easy on the eyes is the undeniably unhinged and creepy Claudia Wolf. A mysterious character encountered by protagonist Heather in Silent Hill 3, she eventually was revealed to be an antagonist, albeit she wasn't a totally evil character, but more a religious fanatic and perhaps a bit insane. But then, she does have her Gwyneth Paltrow/Cate Blanchett-ish looks (albeit she really looks like she hasn't showered or bathed in a long time) and her general aversion to footwear. Still, that scene where she scarfs down a demonic fetus just turns me a bit off.... YIKES!

Siren (Bioshock Infinite)

Surely the prettiest of the Heavy Hitters in Bioshock Infinite...

Little is really known about The Siren, one of the 'Heavy Hitters' or boss-like enemies you'll encounter in the upcoming Bioshock Infinite. She's the only female of the crew, and has the unsettling ability to resurrect enemies you've already slain. Her spectral appearance is sure to give many the creeps- who knows what kind of visage lies beneat her ghostly wraps- a wispy beauty or an image of horror? I bet we'd all be better off just ogling her feet in any case.


This babe wouldn't look out of place in Silent Hill.

Zozo (Code of Princess)
 

Kinda cute... if you're into zombies.

 Our next babe comes from the 3DS RPG/Brawler Code of Princess. The Necromancer Zozo is one of the many playable allies your protagonist can recruit to her cause. Zozo's not really undead, but a necromancer who's currently trapped in a makeshift body. Perhaps the real Zozo is prettier (although I suspect she looks similar to her temporary body) and livelier; her current host though, while kinda cute with the panties and pink hair, just rubs me off the wrong way. Maybe it's the blue, lifeless skin or the possibility that she must stink to high heaven. If I see this babe, her fetchingly bare feet regardless, I'm going to RUN.


Angel (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)


Don't get this lady angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

You'd ask, why is Angel in this article? Isn't she a stunning beauty with heavenly bare feet that are just made for worshipping? Well, yes but that still doesn't change the fact that this supernatural warrior can, when she's angry or shooting her eye beams, take on an enraged look on her face that would strike the fear of the apocalypse in all who beholds her. YEESH! Again... just concentrate on her soles and her toes... just keep thinking of her lovely, suckable toes...


Unknown (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)


Wouldn't it be awesome if that goo on her was actually jam?

Next up is the eerily beautiful end boss of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, the goo-covered Unknown. Despite the evil black slime all over her nubile body, the yellow eyes and the evil-possessed aura, Unknown surely has a lot of admirers among gamers all over the place, whether they're footfans or not. We all know there's a fair lady (with succulent feet) under all that evil goo. You just need to beat her senseless and then wash her off with holy power to get her. But then again, what would she be then but a plain jane? No, I guess we'll just take Unknown as she is, black body paint and all. Don't ever change, my lady. Don't smash my face in either, please...

Deborah Harper (Resident Evil 6)

Slimy but sexy or sexy but slimy?

Resident Evil 6 has polarized many gamers and critics, but I think most will agree that one of the most memorable segments is with the rather sexy but ultimately scary and slimy Deborah Harper. Sister to new protagonist Angela, Deb had an unfortunate fate- to be transformed into a mutant monstrosity out to kill both her loving sister and Leon S. Kennedy... which of course meant she was going to go down, and down hard. Deb's monster design was apparently styled to somehow evoke imagery of a sexy burlesque dancer, which explains her provocative poses and movements- something we may have lost sight of due to the slimy green skin and the giant mutant appendages clawing at our faces. Oh well, at least she still had really nice-looking feet regardless... but man, kissing those slimy soles would surely be unpleasant...

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Top 10 Scariest Barefoot Babes in Games

Halloween was last week, but I'm still in a bit of a horror mood. So here's a countdown of gaming's frightful femme fatales- gaming's barefoot babes of the undead or monstrous flavor, for those who love their soles and toes with a dash of the macabre. Gyaaa...


Corrupt Rogues (Diablo 2) In the monumental hack-and-slash, grinding fantasy classic, players will face hordes of hot, but sadly demon-possessed undead warrior women in their quest to stop the Lord of Terror. These babes appear in a variety of skimpy armor and some go barefoot, perhaps so as to better sneak up on their victims. As much as I would love to give these evil hotties a foot massage, a blade through their now-darkened hearts to free them from their torment would be much preferred and advised.


Female Zombies (Deadly Premonition) Silent Hill may have hot (but creepy) female nurse creatures, but sadly they're not to foot fans' tastes since they still wear pumps even in their nightmarish state. In Deadly Premonition, the female zombies are nicely barefoot... even if their faces look like they've been serviced by the same guy who did the Joker's makeup in the Dark Knight. Oh, and walking towards you while bent-over backwards is an extra creepy touch. These undead gals attack by jamming their hands into your mouth... if they tried that with their feet instead, maybe we'd be a bit more vulnerable.


Female Witch Doctor (Diablo 3) One of the playable character classes in the upcoming Diablo III, the female witch doctor is a voodoo-powered cleric with sorcerous spells that allow her to summon various deadly plagues and pests upon her enemies, inflict terror and do all sorts of deadly mischief. Judging on concept art and in-game models so far seen, the witch doctor dresses tribal-style and goes barefoot whether she's in her unarmored default state or in her equivalent of heavy armor. I have to say though, while some people may find her hot, I'm a bit on the fence. Maybe it's the stink of the dead things and ghoulish fetishes she insists on carrying on her person. Or maybe the chance that if you try to give her a foot massage you may get your head shrunken and worn as a anklet. Yikes!


Alma (F.E.A.R) Gaming's clone to the classic, long-haired ghost girl Sadako from The Ring, Alma was an abused child with psychic powers turned mother-of-all-demons. Half the time she's a creepy little barefoot girl who leaves bloody bare footprints, the other half she's a nude harpy ready to tear your face off. Either blood or stinky rot, that's not the kind of foot you'd fancy giving massages to, I hope.

Female Splicer (Bioshock) Among the many crazed and mutated, plasmid-flinging and pipe-swinging enemies you'll face in the sunken metropolis of Rapture are strangely fetching female splicers. The 'Baby Doll' type Splicer was apparently some kind of society gal, still wearing a now-ruined party dress, with one leg bare, the other stockinged. Though maddened and having a sickly grayish skin-tone, these are actually not undead, but might as well be.


Sasha (Infamous) In the action-packed anti-hero romp Infamous, one of the villains you encounter was the creepy Sasha, whose penchant for going half-naked and barefoot is sadly offset by her icky ability to exude black, mind-controlling tar from her body. Never mind that Sasha's admittedly kinda hot in a Borg Queen-sort of way... kissing her feet will probably cover your mouth in tar, and she'd probably vomit on you to turn you into a mindless slave. GAK!

Sasha's one dirty chick.

Alma (Ninja Gaiden) In the original awesome ninja action game by Tecmo's Team Ninja, one of the bosses that hero Ryu Hayabusa had to face was the formidable arch-demon Alma. Never mind the flourescent purple skin, giant bat wings where her ears should be and her general tendency to blast you with sorcery... she had a hot, hot butt and sexy (albeit clawed) bare feet. Well, once you defeated her she did turn back to a normal hot blonde babe, so perhaps she's not all bad.


Cloud of Darkness (Dissidia Final Fantasy) a force of chaos personified as a hot barefoot babe in skimpy, demonic attire with monster-thingies. With her gothic costume and wild hair, she's incredibly hot. Plus she tends to hover around, which makes it easier to kiss her sexy bare feet. Yeah, she's not human but at least, unlike some other Cloud in FF, she's also not a cross-dresser.

Cloud of Darkness is one hot goddess.

Unknown (Tekken) The mysterious but sexy end boss in the popular Tekken Tag Tournament, the simply named Unknown was a beautiful young lady whose exceptional features include glowing yellow eyes, a terrifying wolf-spirit hovering behind her and, well, skimpy attire. Unknown appeared either wearing one of two costumes- a burned, ruined white dress or just black body paint, and was barefoot in both. Despite the creep factor, she's surely a babe, and hopefully the slimy black goo comes off as easily as the wolf demon did. Will we ever see this hot barefoot babe again? Perhaps in TTT2?



Kerrigan (Starcraft 2) Before she became a monstrous genocidal mutant, Sarah Louise Kerrigan was a hot human babe whose fierce character captured the heart of galactic hero James Raynor. It is testament to her charm that several years and many exterminated planets later, Raynor still held a torch for the woman buried beneath the chitinous armored shell that was the Queen of Blades.
Well, his persistence is eventually rewarded at the end of Starcraft 2's single-player campaign with a climactic cutscene showing the now-human Kerrigan, naked (and of course, barefoot), in the loving arms of loverboy Jim. Where's he taking her? To someplace cozy so he can give those hot feet a long-overdue kissing and licking, of course. Sure, the Queen of Blades was hot in a Species kind of way, and she was barefoot albeit with weird built-in high heels. But of course, I prefer Kerrigan's soft, sexy and warm human soles and toes to kiss and worship.


And that's it! Ten creepy, monstrous and fearsome barefoot babes in gaming. Belated Happy Halloween!
