"Banner at Top of Pge"

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!

Well, you're wrong on one point. The majority of games are specifially aimed at guys. Look at Dead or Alive. That sold primarilly on the basis of the well formed characters.

The BMX XXX game coming out soon is certainly going the same way.

The gaming world is dominated by male gamers, so why not work with the audience available? It would be certain folly to spend a fortune making a series of games solely aimed at girls, when the target audience is far smaller and much harder to profit from than a game aimed at guys.

Simple economics.

so then what do they mean? They make you think it's about boobs, but it's not.... false advertising....

Actually the banner may say that but none of the females have animated breasts in the game.

Women and sex selling products is all based upon one thing: it's a man's world. Not that I agree with this, you understand... even if I am a man / look like a man.
