Yawn. Another woman going "but what about meeeeeee?" in an area of life that is dominated by males for a reason. Look, most gamers are males. That's how it is. If most gamers were females, you'd see more games being marketed for them. You'd see more love stories and all that stereotypical crap that's going on in girl movies. But most gamers are males, so of course a lot of titles are going to try to cater to that audience by focusing on guns and boobs.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't more than plenty of games that girls can very much enjoy. Actually, I'll probably play some Lego games, some colourful platformers and some Kinect games with my girlfriend tonight.

The problem isn't male gamers. The problem is all the females in our lives telling us we play too many games.

Holy crap, I think that's the longest post I ever saw :o

It would probably be best suited for your blog, though. I don't think this really allows for much discussion, mainly because it appears to me that you're not looking for any.

Edit: "Smash Bandicoot,"typo of the day :D

Double Edit: Also, it doesn't appear that your problem is with MALE gamers at all. It would seem to me that your issue lies with how Western publishers treat the female gaming audience.

Your thesis contains an extraordinary amount of information and has surpassed the length which manages to keep my attention;

Consequently, I had no gander at your materials and made no attempt to absorb the information inherent within.

Why should it even matter? You like to play video games so play video games, who cares if it appeal's to woman or not. What I got from this wall of text is you want games like Dead Space 2 to say in their commercials something like "woman will love it" so you feel like you werent forgotten. Honestly who gives a damn, if a game is good play it, if it's not, don't play it.

Male gamers tend to put us down (not all of em) and make us feel as though we should get on our hands and knees and bow down to the game developers and thank them for the 1 out of 99% games that were actually made to attract women in specific. Some of em being the Kitchen Mama, Barbie, and Hanna Montana DS games.
When we hear that crap we want to slap you. In your terms we would call it a "pimp smack across the face".
You deserve it if you think that way even if Kitchen Mama is a GOOD DS game. you should not even dare to think that way.

I confess, I read the entire thing. The blend of contempt and condescension is hilarious.

I apologize, but rants like this, particularly when they are very long and very personal, are best suited to your blog.
