Girls Discover Joys of Gaming

Women are taking over the internet, with more girls than men playing online games.

A survey found one in 10 "game-hers" rated virtual reality games as better than shopping.

Cracking cryptic codes was the number one pastime, followed by Lara Croft-style action role playing and brain training games.

The poll, by zylom.com, claimed 18.7 million women are hooked on internet games and puzzles compared to 18.5 million men and in the North West a staggering 81 per cent of women play games and puzzles, according to the survey.

Every girl gamer I know either owns the damn DS, or the Wii. If none of those two, they play Counter Strike: Source.

My wife loves to play PC games, PS2/PS3 games with my son and PSP games. Previously my wife is not a gamer until she got hold of the PS2 controller. :)

This is simply more "girl power, female gamers are cool and not geeks like guys are!" rubbish courtesy of the Evening Telegraph.

You know I am kind of right on this, us guys who like are videogames are labeled as geeks, loosers etc but women who play games are portrayed as "cool".

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos8h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
