"Girls Gamers?!"

Aside from 'The Notables', do Girls have what it takes to be gamers?!

I don't think so. They don't have that spirit in them; like the gaming, friendly, footbally spirit that most lads have.

I'm not talking about the English Hooligans in Belgium or whatever because if you loved football how could you do that to the sport?!

I'm talking about passion and drive! Lads are great mates and they rarely fall out for more than 5 minutes when they're sober.

Boys bond quite well when they're gaming, they can show their friendship through co-op mode and go head to head with one another to show off their machismo and determine who's 'better'.

And girls? They only argue with each other over whether 'the Space Channel 5 bird' should be wearing #573 Rose Pink Nail Varnish or #259 Silk Pink Nail Varnish. * And whether 'the girl' in Shenmue should have her hair in a plait or in a bun. **

I mean even Nintendo must agree.... well have you ever heard of a GameGirl?!

Girls just don't know how to have fun with gaming, the fashion tips fly out, they break nails, their eyes are so untrained, the only controller experience they get is when they snatch the remote off everyone else and demand to watch Eastenders or Survivor!


They even thrust the control about all over the place in a pathetic attempt to make the character jump further, run faster or hit harder!

Girls just can't cut it when it comes to gaming!

They ain't gotta clue!

I think we're all agreed here, No?

I like goldeneye but I don't play often enough to be good
and am a huge fan of platform games like mario 64, donkey kong 64 , conkers bad fur day.................

Whoooo Banjo Kazzoie Whooooo!

Anyone like Grim Fandango, that game was so sorely overlooked by many

I'm a massive fan of all 4 Monkey Island games, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie and Dead or Alive 2.

I remember there being "big" news a few years ago that games firms would be making games especially for girls because they represented an "untapped market"
and all they came up with was a barbie platform game on the game boy.
Was there any others?
my favourite games are diddy kong racing and the zelda games because they take me so long to play.
What are anyone elses favourites

You've lost me.

Actually, I think tag lines "follow you" so that when u change your tag, ALL your posts have the new one...
