One of the Elders pointed me in this direction, since I'm a girl. I'd love to join up!
With a name like miss-esquire I don't see why you're not. I'll put you on the list.
New topic then:
What kind of games are pretty girly? I've been playing Persona 3 portable and if you pick the girl for the main character all the menus are in pink. The music is better too and the social links deal with typical girl problems. I like it. =P
And now I'm replaying it on male and everything is plain boring. XD
I'd love to know this too--are there any GOOD games that are targeted primarily toward girls? Many of the games that are geared toward girls just plain suck. It's like the game companies just decide to slap pink menus and rainbows and sparkly shit on crappy games and expect girls to buy them just because...PINK!
Excuse me while I barf.
The Cooking Mama series was pretty amusing. The Atelier Series, though not precisely my cup of tea, are good games as well. Coropata is an amaaaaazing puzzle game that is geared towards girls, but unfortunately is not translated yet (I can read just enough Japanese to play it though). Then of course, you have your endless sims and virtual life games--some of which are good, like (e.g. Harvest Moon, The Sims series, Nintendogs) but most of which suck horribly (i.e. most everything else--I'm looking at you, Imagine series).
Some games that aren't particularly girly, but which I think really capture what women want in games are the Mass Effect Series (playing as Fem!Shep, of course) and Dragon Age series. Both have a great storyline with strong female characters and great gameplay. Bioware knows their shit. As a female gamer, I love well-thought out story lines and great customisability in those two games, and the romance subplots are pretty cool too. *cough*Garrus-Shep*cough*
But enough of me being a Bioware whore...does anyone know any other good female-targeted games?
