Oddities: The Guy Game
Look, stereotypes exist for a reason. As, erm, ‘serious gamers’ we’re well aware that games are played by women, they’re certainly not just for children and they’re not all shooty shooty bang bang things (although we’re also aware that most of them are). Yet, when it comes to the mass market, gaming has some appearance issues which are only very slowly starting to drop off. The Guy Game is a key example of why these stereotypes exist, because apparently the ideal ‘Guy Game’, that is, a title made specifically for male gamers to enjoy, is all about boobs.
