The guys over at Miss Video Game.com are on a mission to showcase female gaming talent. They've set up the website to apparently raise the profile of women in gaming and 'make the gaming industry take women gamers seriously and to treat them with respect as equals.' So what have they done for the greater good of the female species? Well, they've allowed girl gamers to submit photos of themselves to the website where people like us can pop along, browse through the gallery and vote on our favourite.

Ironically, the site appears to have nothing to do with how great these girls are at playing video games, but seems to be all about what they look like. I've had a good browse through the gallery and there's something for everyone there, including trailer park trash, Beverley Hills 90210 wannabes, girls in bikinis and a few girls who do actually look like gamers, but to disguise the competition under the guise of 'creating a positive role model for young girls who enjoy playing video games' seems slightly deceptive.

I'm not complaining though, in fact I've voted for the scantily clad Federica ( I can assure you it was nothing to do with her gaming talent).

Check out the girls at the and vote for Miss Video Games 2007.
