New York’s own Bonnie Ruberg, of the always riveting, titillating, and expertly written Heroine Sheik blog, has put up one of the most important lists to hit the net in quite some time. Do you understand what I’m saying, dear reader? The internet is over sixty percent lists! Along with Brenda Brathwaite and Sheri Graner Ray, Ruberg has put together a look at the top twenty most important women in games today. While the list spotlights some of the more recognizable female faces in the industry like Bioshock scribe Susan O’Connor and Miss Braithwaite herself, the list celebrates others who don’t often pop up in the press. Laura Fryer, Robin Hunicke, Brenda Laurel, and every other one of the remarkable women on this list: 61 Frames Per Second salutes you!

I’ve only spoken to Bonnie once, about a year ago, when I took issue with a portion of her Playing Dirty piece on Odin Sphere. She wrote me back and agreed with my point BUT I also challenged her to a match of Street Fighter which she still hasn’t taken me up on. What do you say, Miss Ruberg? 61 Frames Per Second versus Heroine Sheik!
