Most female characters in video games are often sexualized with overly revealing clothing or really huge breasts. I say this is unfortunately a current trend that as happening often in video games, since women are portrayed as male fantasy sex objects and given shallow characterization. This tends to gives women a negative view towards video games and leaves a bad image for games. That's not to say every female character in video games are overly-sexualized, characters such as Alyx, Jade, and April Ryan (If any of you played The Longest Journey) prove that females can be sexualized without over-doing it and having deep characterization. Same cannot for most female video game characters though.
I don't hold anything against the female form like some crude conservative, but I believe it needs to be presented tastefully and with context.
You can say that men are often portrayed as overly muscular and hard-ass stereo-types, but it's usually worse with female characters because their outfits make them look like prostitutes.
