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!

by the way.

Taken from Cube-Europe:

"we should acknowledge one other constant: video games remain a male-dominated pursuit. According to independent research, nine out of every 10 console players are male, although the number of female players for Game Boy Advance does hit 20 percent."

Oh yeah I think females look good too, but not in the sense that I will buy a game because she will be getting her t1ts out or coz she has a refined body... That's Imature

I'm a perfectly straight female. I've been in a relationship with with a man for 4 years, but I like the female form. I think its very beautiful, naked women look great (naked men look a bit funny to be honest). Me and boyfriend own DOA2 and guess what. I'm the one that plays it. I like to see bouncy boobs. THEY LOOK GOOD! so don't judge all females by your own standards.

i dont know if you've realised heather, but there is an approximately 1:89754987529864923795693472398 ratio of female gamers:men gamers, thats why there are those adverts.
