Seen in a compilation of the best and worst characters of PC gaming at ComputerandVideoGames.com is Xana of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic:

"The Might & Magic universe isn't known for its big laughs, and Dark Messiah is no comedy. Full of names like Phenrig, Menelag, and Kha Beleth, this is earnest high fantasy that should only even attempt carefully considered comedy that springs naturally from the characters of the cast.

Xana is a weak attempt - a dirty wee sex-obsessive who lives inside your brain, trying to get you to be naughty and talking like Hattie Jacques before she passed the sex-kitten baton to Barbara Windsor. She was entertainment, fair enough - but with Xana, you only ever felt like you were laughing at the game and the scriptwriters, not with them..."

Joining her are other Ubisoft icons such as The Prince of Persia and Sam Fisher. The best characters are SHODAN, HK-47, Alyx Vance and LeChuck, among others.
