“She’s the Best!”

 - August 10th, 2011
The other day I asked my Twitter friends and followers what the term “girl gamer” means to them. What are the word associations that instantly come to mind? What are the attributes that the world expects female gamers to have? In the midst of the interesting responses I found the exact answer I was expecting:“Girl gamers are really good at the games they play.”Time and time again I’ve seen girl gamers celebrated with the words “They ...

Girl gamers: Easy to be out and proud?

 - June 22nd, 2011
I think we’re all in agreement around here that it would be great if more women were gamers.

Girl Gamers: Casual vs. Hardcore

 - September 16th, 2010
Browsing through the comments under my first girl gaming and gaming lifestyle column, one statement was repeatedly confirmed by readers. And that is how women who play video games are, on the whole, more likely to fall into the casual gaming category, as opposed to the hardcore and ultra-competitive.We previously established that there are plenty of women – of all ages – playing everything from FarmVille to Blur; from Mario Kart to StarCraft II. ...

This interesting visual style has been in use since the dawn of the last generation of consoles, and it’s produced some of the best-looking games on the market in recent years.
