List of video games with female protagonists

This is a list of video games with female protagonists. Games included on the list are ones where the main protagonist is a female. Games where there are minor female characters, but they are not the primary protagonist should not be included.

Please refer to the Suggested Style Guide (discussion is welcome).

It should be noted that in most RPG's a player can choose the sex during character creation. Due to the more generic nature of a character in an MMORPG (such as World of Warcraft or The Legend of Mir series of games) and their inherent inability to affect the plot of the game a character could not be considered a protagonist.
