One of the biggest benefits of these high-def days is that video game graphics are now more photorealistic than ever before. This can't be more true when you take into consideration the kind of graphics that Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has. With the improvement in graphics, everything started looking that much nicer. That includes game babes.

When it comes to video game hotties, MGS4 has one of the finest collections bar none. In this post, this blogger will offer his opinion on who's the most eligible among the game's fantastic females. To boot, I'll be doing it using two categories: looks and personality. Without further ado, these are my lists of the most dateable women in MGS4 ranked in descending order!

From sheer looks

1. Raging Raven - Asian-looking girl with long, black hair and a killer body for the win!

2. Naomi Hunter - In the first MGS, she was "meh". Now, she just put on model-level looks and curves.

3. Laughing Octopus - Best figure in the list, though the tentacles bring up icky images of "exotic" Japanese anime, if you know what we mean.

4. Mei Ling - Wow, she's all grown up now, isn't she? A very pretty face and a butt that even Johnny Sasaki could hardly resist. 'Nuff said.

5. Meryl Silverburgh - Definitely cute and she looked nice in a wedding dress. Not quite as gorgeous as the ones that came before here, though.

6. Crying Wolf - She's okay, pretty even. Doesn't quite have the charm of Raging Raven whom she kinda resembles.

7. Screaming Mantis - Definitely someone you'd love to go out with any day of the week, but there are better options.

8. Sunny - The only reason you'd want to even look at her this way is if you're around 10 years old. Still, she might be cute when she grows up. Okay, let's drop it. This is sick.

9. Big Mama - In her prime as EVA, she was the bomb in MGS. However, the only reason we can think of on why you'd want to date her is if you're past 50 or something.

  

If you dig personality more...

1. Mei Ling - She seems like the good girl in the bunch. She's also very smart. And yes, she's very cute.

2. Naomi Hunter - Very feminine and very mysterious. She keeps you guessing all the time, and she likes smart men.

3. Meryl Silverburgh - If you like strong women, you can't go wrong with her.

4. Laughing Octopus - At least you don't have to try hard in making her laugh. You could tell plumber jokes all day and she'd still think it's hilarious.

5. Raging Raven - Don't focus on her anger management issues - she's hot. Oh, and some people think girls look better when they're fuming mad.

6. Screaming Mantis - When people ask you what's wrong with her, just tell them she's the lead vocalist of a fast-rising hard rock band.

    

7. Crying Wolf - Okay, never mind that people will think you're a horrible boyfriend. Just be thankful you're not dating Big Mama or Sunny.

8. Big Mama - Well, she's got years of experience under her belt and at least she's of legal age. Just close your eyes and think of her Cold War days.

9. Sunny - Please, she's just a kid! If you don't think dating pre-teen girls is repulsive, go and pray that the Feds aren't doing some serious surveillance on you.

That's it for our MGS4 babe ranking list. We know, there are better things to do than gawk at female video game characters, but sometimes it's just amusing to do stuff like this. How would you rank them?
