Babes of Gaming: Nova

This futuristic piece of ass is Agent 12-862, also known as Nova, from the cancelled Blizzard game StarCraft: Ghost. It was announced in 2002, but four years later it was put on indefinite hold, which is a pretty word for ‘cancelled’. Many fans cried while others started writing hate mail to Blizzard. This could have been a fantastic console action/stealth game, but for whatever reason it was canned.

Nova’s skin-tight suit and her expertise in weapons and war tactics put her head and shoulders above many of the other babes in video game land. Lara Croft has a nice rack, but Nova has a nice rack AND can snipe you from space. Her suit had special camouflage that could make her invisible, but what fun is there in being a babe if no one can see you? I'm not sure what the deal with her headgear is, some kind of night-vision goggle thing or a GPS system, but whatever it is seems to boost her coolness.

Fans of Nova were sad to find a tomb in World of WarCraft with her name on it, but now the hopes of seeing her again are high because some of the concept art from StarCraft II shows people wearing armor similar to hers, maybe from the same Ghost squad. Blizzard says that she will only appear in the game if the circumstances are right, not just having her as a cameo for the fans. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of Nova in the near future.
