Video games are almost entirely aimed towards men and boys. It’s a fact. Girls seem to get a bit of a raw deal when it comes to games as all the characters are aimed at men. So apart from the Barbie games and the show jumping horse games, will we ever see any games designed purely for the fairer sex?
I will now look into my gaming crystal ball and predict a bright future for girl gamers........


PMT WOMANS ADVENTURE: I would imagine that most girl gamers despise the bouncing and jiggling of Lara Croft, the Dead or Alive girls et all, so here’s the latest role model for all girl gamers.
Most days she’s a simple ordinary downtrodden housewife and mother of seven, but once a month, a change comes over her and she transforms into PMT Woman!
Though she has a chest like a pair of tights with oranges in them she’s one tough sister and doesn’t take any crap from men.
She’s strong, feisty, fiercely independent and has an ex-Chippendale side kick called Ricardo, who was a big pop superstar in the Dominican Republic.
In this new game you control PMT Woman, the heroine for the male bashing women’s lib brigade as she journeys around the local community doing not very much at all; you can visit the supermarket, moan about men not putting the toilet seat down or do various other women’s business.
As you travel around the game world, your main task is to defeat male chauvinists, who litter the levels and who wander around swilling beer and pinching young girls bottoms.
There are also a few mini games where you get to control Ricardo, including hunky male mud wrestling and a bodybuilder posturing game similar to Parappa The Rappa.


KAT SLATER’S MAKE-UP CHALLENGE: Ever wondered if you could get away with a fake Saint-Tropez tan, purple eye shadow and thick red lippy? Well now you can get to test out all those ideas as you join EastEnders tart extraordinaire, Kat Slater in this brilliant new multimedia make-up design package.
Using a digital camera, you can put your face into the game and either design your own make-up look, or let colourful Kat do it for you. This pack is extremely useful for trying out all those ridiculous ideas without actual applying all that muck to your face.
If you like your new orange look then you can wear it out on a Friday night in Romford.
Includes free make-up applying trowel and make-up removing blowtorch.
Plus, coming soon is the Kat Slater Fashion Challenge expansion pack, featuring a variety of leopard look designs and big earrings.


INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR SOCCER WOMEN’S EDITION: Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
Women’s football, though slow and dull, has gained a good reputation and a strong following ever since the girls beat the boys in a football match in Grange Hill.
This totally unique game perfectly represents the spectacle that is women’s football. The developers have perfectly recreated the funny way that women run and kick the ball, plus there are many different types of player, including the fast elegant players with long legs and the obligatory short-haired pugnacious lady-men players, who love the rough & tumble of the contact sports.


BEEFCAKE VOLLEYBALL: The boys get a Dead or Alive volleyball game, and the girls get this one.
We all know that along with a healthy bank balance, women love their men to have well toned bodies, so a game featuring a bevy of hunky beefcakes in small trunks with big lunchboxes and rippling six-packs should appeal to female gamers.
Join our bronze buddies on a host of great international volleyball beaches, from Miami Beach, Daytona Beach and Hawaii to Southend seafront, Torquay and Bognor.
As you progress in the various tournaments you’ll gain money, which you can use to unlock new arenas, buy new flimsy swimming trunks and even get extra muscles for your player and bigger Johnsons/lunchboxes.


MR.SHEENS SHINY POLISH ADVENTURE: Control the loveable Mr. Sheen as he flies around many household locations eliminating the modern day menace that is dust!
With accurately modelled locations from the home including the bathroom, kitchen (including scullery), living room, bedroom and many more. You must control Mr. Sheen’s flying can of polish as he flies about these locations fighting dirt and freshening the air with pungent fragrances.
When you do find an area of unpleasant dust and dirt, you must eradicate it using Mr. Sheens polishing power. Similar to spraying the graffiti in ‘Jet Set Radio’, when you find the dust, you must follow the on-screen instructions to clean the area.
However, Mr. Sheen’s mission is fraught with danger, as household pets such as dogs, cats, parrots and ferrets are all out to stop you as well as grubby children running about in the room, making a mess and trying to catch Mr. Sheen! Other enemies include smelly tramps, giant mutated dust mites, silverfish and more.
PLUS, there’s an amazing ‘SmellyVision’ unit specifically for this game! When you spray one of Mr. Sheen’s sumptuous aromas in the game, the same smell comes out of the peripheral, adding to the authenticity! We’re sure it will bring back all those great dusting memories when you smell the polish whilst playing the game. Smells include ‘Mountain Fresh’, ‘freshly powdered babies bottom’, ‘Aroma of Musk’, ‘Zest of Lemon’ and many more ridiculously named odours.
There’s even a special guest appearance by Charlie Sheen as a secret controllable character!!

Mr. Sheen’s Shiny Polish Adventure is part of the home care range of games, also including:

WASH WIPE DISHMAN: Enjoy every woman’s favourite hobby (apart from dusting, ironing and vacuuming) on your computer screen as you control Wash Wipe Dishman as he cleans the dishes!
This game will be available with a revolutionary peripheral; an amazing touch sensitive plate unit with a special cloth. When you wipe the cloth over the plate, it transfers those wipes to the onscreen dirty plates!
Finish the wiping up without getting your hands wet!
Game modes include time attack, score attack and even a multi-player mode, where the most dishes wiped in a certain time is the winner.


All games coming to all formats soon.
