I haven't had time to watch television in years.
However, I used to find time to play games. (Although I've now run out of time for everything.)
Anyways, I have played TR (the first one). I found it fun for a while, but the game control wasn't as easy as I expected it to be, so I never finished it. I, personally, couldn't care less about how they animate the character. I think that most women are able to see that it's an animation, and as such, is supposed to be fantasy. I seriously doubt that the reason for lack of female testers is because of the animation. I actually EXPECT the female characters to be buxom and thin. I'd be disappointed if they weren't.
That said, I do generally prefer the non-gruesome games. RPGs, and ones like Castlevania (and Tempest!). They do make some shooting games that are for fun as well (Point Blank, Time Crisis isn't actually gruesome either). But in general, I'll play if it's Interesting, Easy to play, and I can Save it. I want a game with a story. I want to find out what happens next. T.R. might have had those attributes, but because the game play was difficult, I had better things to do with my time.
That said, it's very possible that some people like certain types of games that others don't. e.g. I play games much much more than my husband does. But anymore, it's a time issue, and I just don't have the time to play like I did in college.
The guy who works beside me just rode one. They're at the statehouse trying to get the lawmakers to allow them on city streets. Supposedly, if enough states sign legislature allowing them access on sidewalks, they will be sold at $3,000 for a regular model, and $8,000 for an "industrial" model. They say mail carriers would be a targetted audience (as in, the average mail carrier would be able to cover more households, and they would hire less workers). Therefore, the price of postage could be dependent on these Segways!!! You would then be expected to send more greeting cards!! Becomes much more clear now, huh? It's all a ploy of the greeting card industry to get more men buying greeting cards for their significant others! (thereby causing them to drool when they see the mail carrier.) Therefore, if you want to see more drooling women, I suggest that you write your lawmaker.

I think that it's very sweet! My very best wishes to both of you!!
