Re: Feminist Friendly Gaming
For the most part, I notice that the Elder Scrolls games have the same armor on both men and women. Sex makes no real difference on game interaction. I've played Morrowind ~80 hours, and Skyrim ~60. According to my husband, there are some female NPC characters with skimpy armour, but it's pretty uncommon, and it doesn't have a male gaze-y tone. The worst I've noticed is some impractically deep cleavage on a coupe of characters, but it's not objectifying, imo, more, "The designer obviously doesn't have breasts and didn't think this through." The modding community is, unfortunately, a different story.
The Might and Magic rpg series is even better. I can't think of a single male gaze shot or anything.
Point and click adventure games are generally fine. My mom has a lot of them from Big Fish games.
The Sims, with no custom content, is fine. All interactions are the same for men and women. The only difference is pregnancy. The modding community is, again, extremely variable.
Terraria is stretching it in the 'having character' vein, but there's not a drop of sexism.
The Pokemon series is fine.
The Super Smash Bros series.
LoTR : War in the North and LoTR: The Third Age are both fine.
The earlier Metroid games.
The Raving Rabbids games. Of course, the rabbids are ambiguously sexed, but there's no sexism of any kind.
The Uncharted series is pretty much fine.
Portal is one of the best games for feminism: woman versus woman-cum-ai, both awesomely developed, within good gameplay, with no male gaze whatsoever.
That enough? I'm sure there are different opinions on several of these. I don't consider 'normal sexy' (you could see this person on the street) character design to be sexist, so of few of these have sexy girls; most of those also have sexy guys. Most of these have girls who are outright badass, and none have unrealistic sexiness, or sexiness without anything else, as far as I can remember.
