Uneasy Relationship Between Gender and Gaming

Posted by Zonk on from the yes-another-girls-and-gaming-article dept.

1up.com has a well thought out look at the Uneasy Relationship between Gender and Gaming. No girl power, no PSP lickers. From the article: "Leisure and entertainment have evolved alongside humans. Even in more primitive times, life couldn't be all about clubbing saber-toothed tigers. And while men and women usually enjoy the same forms of entertainment, it doesn't mean they always enjoy the same kinds of entertainment."

    I can tell you who I know that plays it.

    Girls.

    All of them.

    My ex-girlfriends since it came out, and my current girlfriend. Also most of their friends like it. I think it's fun, but I wouldn't buy it, or play it by myself... maybe white 20-something males aren't actually the target audience.
