I was just sitting there looking at the computer screen when I notice the banner at the top of the page..... "It's not just the balls that bounce..." with a picture of 4 women in tight tops. The advert is obviously stating that the women's boobs bounce.... OK, so this will sell the game will it? I am female, and fair enough I'm not interested in the female form in that way, but I really cant see how that will sell the game! I know they say sex sells, but why would someone buy a game for the second reason that the characters t1ts bounce in it!! I mean, come on!

Do you get games with men in it, like Medal of Honour or Championship Manager or Monkey Island where they have massive willies and they are wobbling from side to side when they run, so that the female audience buys it!! No....

So why do it with a game like Beach Spikers, which is not soley aimed at the male sex. Neither is Medal of Honour, Championship Manager or Monkey Island... and if they are aimed at the male sex, then they shouldn't be because I'm sure a lot of females play them too. Obviously more males will play, but not 100% of the buyers will be male.

I think from now on games should have a multi sexual advertisments... if they relate to big t1ts, then they should relate to big b0110x!

the banner is an advert for beack spikers. A Vollyball game. Yes its a bit of a sexist add but then scantily clad women are basicly used to sell everything.

I'm actually surprised that the number of girls playing games is so high. 10% represents a significant proportion. Wonder why girls like GBAs more?

From the calibre of female n00bs we get on here I suggest that they all play games like bust-a-move and tetris :(, or barbie goes shopping. More girlys should be like me :D

I don't think I will ever understand the other members of my sex :S
