Girls Got Game

Posted by Zonk on Monday March 28, 2005 @03:20AM from the new-research-data! dept.

Via Joystiq, a story on the ABC News site discussing the (gasp) rising interest in games within the fairer sex. From the article: "I think it's easy to kind of stereotype that women don't want to shoot or that women don't want to do sports or that women don't want fast-paced action...I don't think that's true. I think that was part of the reason the industry wasn't speaking to women before." As Mr. Zackheim comments, I believe it more to be a lack of interest/effort on the gaming publisher's part that has resulted in the current player demographic profile.

Yes, because girls clearly don't like solving puzzles. Puzzle games, such as Bejewled, totally alienate female gamers. They don't want to push blocks around all day. They're girls. They like fashion and stuff, Right? Yup, I totally understand women.
