Maxim: Naomi Hunter is new Hottest Video Game Babe, but Lara is still hot

So Naomi Hunter from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots got the top spot in Maxim’s list of “The 17  Hottest Video Game Babes of 2008″, bumping Lara all the way down to 16th place. But get this, Maxim still thinks Lara Croft is still the sexy gun-totting vixen we all know and love even after all these years (otherwise she wouldn’t be in the list, yeah?), and we quote:

While girls wearing well-placed fabric have been part of video games for a long time—we´re looking at you, Metroid´s Justin Bailey cheat code—the maestra of guns akimbo started the trend of hot, realistic-looking girls in video games. More than a decade later, she´s reappeared in the latest iteration sporting a variety of wet suits, dry suits, jungle gear, and her traditional tight-fitted short shorts, proving she´s not ready to cede any ground to the competition.
