I have always had an interest for Bayonetta, and when I heard SEGA was having it playable on the E3 show floor, I was hoping to hear good news from the press; and today, I’ve finally heard what I wanted to hear.

Surprisingly, Bayonetta has won the award as best action game of E3 from 1UP:

You might be surprised to see us pick Bayonetta as the best action title at E3 — especially with God of War 3 playable for the first time — but trust us, once you get your hands on the controller you’ll recognize why director Hideki Kamiya (of Devil May Cry fame) is the master of action games; it’s incredible. Also, there’s nothing quite like a sexy woman kicking some ass; and Bayonetta delivers on this in spades. The flashy move set is both beautiful to watch and a joy to execute, and the controls are easy to pick up — the sheer amount of combo options makes it so there is never a dull moment.

This was very shocking to me at first. Bayonetta outwitted games like God of War III, Assassin’s Creed 2, and Uncharted 2. Do you think Bayonetta deserves title as best action game from 1UP? Share your thought with comments below.

Sweet I knew Bayonetta would win something besides :the sexiest babe ever” (my reward lol)

@Edwin Shy:

I thought the same as well. Nice award name by the way ^^

@Michael : Thanks ^^

I hope this isn’t completely a guys game…I’m sorry to all of you guys for a comment I’m about to make that may be taken as sexist and a biased feminist view, but there are way too many games on the market that are just SO meant for the blokes. When I saw DOA I was like, cool! Ninja girls kickin butt! But it turned out they wer nothin more than eye candy. Even the supreme gaming heroine Lara Croft seems nothing more than that anymore… is it because men in particular are heading these games? Or is it because boys/men are largely the target audience? Still, being a female gamer, this is something you need to get over fairly quickly because it appears to be a fact of society *sigh*
I actually heard a funny line the other day to do with half-naked ladies draped over our media: “Ms Gaga, you have a million dollars, buy some pants!”

Feminist views over, this DOES look like an awesome game which I hope I can find the time to pick up.

TailsTheHedgehog: I agree.

But I don’t really care, I just think Bayonetta is cool, I rather have a “sexy” witch than a “ugly” one. Since Bayonetta woulden’t be a so cool character if she didn’t looked like this.

But I think it deservs it! I want this for 360 when it comes out.
But why do my parents say that you can’t play to coilent games cus you’re to young. Meh, I’m 14 years and going to be 19.XD Umh, I know one who said something like that beacus his doughter act like she was older than she is.

Osnic : Right on brother no ugly witches only sexy witches

This is exactly what I mean…
But no, I don’t want to start a gender roles war. THIS is still a step up than the view society once had on women… And like I said, being a female gamer you really need to get over these things pretty quickly.
