Nevertheless, much of Samus' media reception came from her sex appeal. GameTrailers named Samus number one on a 2006 list of the top ten women of gaming,[61] and number three among top ten "gamer babes" in 2007.[62] GameDaily ranked Samus seventh on a list of the top "hottest game babes", describing her as "a refreshing change of pace, a tough, no-nonsense warrior that isn't afraid to remove her famous orange and yellow power suit and let her hair down, especially to reveal her skin-tight clothing."[63] She was further listed on GameDaily's list of "hottest" blondes in video games, described as both one of Nintendo's most famous protagonists as well as a "curvaceous, drop-dead-gorgeous woman,"[64] and used to illustrate the "smart and sexy heroine" concept on their list of top video game archetypes.[65] In 2008, Spike placed Samus on the top of their list of "video game vixen" as "a foxy broad that conceals her curves inside a weapon of death and destruction,"[66] while MSN India listed her as one of "the best-looking game characters with perfect figures."[67] In 2009, UGO.com ranked Samus as 11th on a list of the top "girls of gaming"[68] and as the "eighth-hottest sci-fi girl",[69] also including her in the 2011 list of 50 video game "hotties".[70]
