Complex Gaming: These days, tons of hot girls consider themselves video game nerds. Whether they're simply addicted to Angry Birds or a pro sniper in online Call of Duty deathmatches, sexy women who know how to work a joystick get respect. Check out the 10 Hottest Celebrity Gamers to see what we mean.
She really did come across as knowing what she was talking about with certain games.
I don't know how deep she really is with gaming in general, but she did sound at least fairly credible.
Besides....I really do want some of this. :P

Then why is it so hard to believe that women would like games--a form of media that encompasses ALL of those things, while also letting her INTERACT with it (which none of those other forms of media let them do).
My fiance plays hardcore games like Castlevania Lords of Shadows, Portal 2, Valkyria Cronicles, MGS Peace Walker, mass Effect 2 & 3 (ps3), LBP 1 & 2, Advance Wars series, Borderlands, beyond Good and Evil, Stacking, Virtua Fighter 5, Super Street Fighter 4, Heavy Rain, and Walking Dead (plus more I cant remember). She also beat many of these games already. And some of these games are HARD.
All they need is to be introduced to it (for those who never play them), and they will see the potential superiority of games over other forms of media. That's why the wii sold so well. It was a way for newbies (like many non-gaming women) to get into stuff that they never got to try before. Now 40% of the gaming market is women, in an age where only ONE major console has actually tried reaching out to them (in 2010 according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Imagine how much more now with Kinect, Free to Play games, cell phone games, facebook games, etc. Any man who can't understand is likely to be seclusive, not have many female friends (or even a girlfriend for that matter), etc. Because all my female friends are gamers, half of which play hardcore games alone (or with their boyfriends). [Including my 9 year old female relative (who is very girly, not a tom-boy)who loves to play her DS, yet is always feeling "guilty" because of the pressure family puts on her to not like non-girly toys (like pieces of shit barbie dolls). Yet nobody says anything to her when she watches a dumb-ass, mind-numbing, non-interactive film. -_-
Women not liking games = makes no sense. Those who don't have either never played modern games, or is a closet gamer just afraid to admit it because of the lingering taboo's that gaming is just for guys who sit in their mother's basements without seeing the light of day. Kinda like yourself.
Read the book "Gender Inclusive Game Design", and also considering going on dates and getting to actually understand women, before you judge. As a minority, I know what it's like to have people tell me I can or cant do something, or am less inclined to appreciate something just because of my heritage. Absolute bullsh*t, and I want my 9 year old niece to grow up in a better world where if she chose to be in this industry, she wouldn't be treated as second rate.
