Off the top of my head, my favorite women in video games tend to be Final Fantasy characters:

Celes (FF6)
Aerith (FF7)
Yuffie (FF7)
Riku (FF10)

I mean again, how are we limiting ourselves? OP doesn't mention villains.

Edea and Ultimecia both are extremely strong willed very driven (if not completely paranoid in the latters case) women in very differing ways.
