I don't know about the other female members on here (Mystique and erm.... *ahem*), but I'm a stereotypical girly girl! I'm naive (though I'm usually reluctant to admit it), I'm cute (oh, you know it's true) and I loathe all those gorey, action-y games and movies.
So what's my complaint?
I want more girly games!!!
I'm fine with the cutesy games like Super Mario 64 and just about every other Mario game ever made, but there are hardly any games being released that appeal to girls only... or at least not on the Gamecube, as far as I'm aware.
So here's what I'd like to see on the Gamecube SOON, or Nintendo had better preapare for my high heel in their unmentionables!!!
A Buffy game, where you can date Angel, Riley and all the other super hunky boys from the show. You could decidde where you want to go out on dates, what you want to wear and how far you are prepared to go. ;-)
That Brittney's Dance Beat game that I saw on the PlayStation 2. I'm sure there's no reason why it couldn't be made for the Gamecube at some point in the future.
The Sims - Girl's Night In - You can only play as girls and women and you live the girl's life of leisure, with make-up, loads of mirrors and bubble bath included.
Peach Sunshine - Instead of playing as Mario or Luigi, you play as Princess Peach. She could have special moves like high heel kicks, hand slaps and handbag wallops... and you would have to stop Bowser from demolishing the Mushroom Kingdom's hairdressor.
Amy Adventure - You play as Amy and have to fight your way through numerous levels to reach Sonic... and on the last level you must battle your way through the church in order to reach Sonic in time to marry him.
Cat Fight 2020 - You can choose from 15 all-girl characters and fight in loads of locations... from the Maternity Ward, to a futuristic Boots.
Shopping Mall Racer - Aliens have taken over the mall, and the men were sent in to fight them! Big mistake! Those beastly boys are shooting the aliens regardless of the alien blood and gloop they're spilling all over the precious clothes! You must complete 20 races through the mall to buy the clothes before the men ruin them completely!
Shopping Mall Racer 2 - The aliens have been defeated, and you managed to buy most of the clothes... but some were ruined, AND ARE DESTINED FOR BARGAIN-BIN SALES! You must once again race around the mall, and clean up all the ruined clothes before they are sold for £1.50 each.
So what's my complaint?

Erm...I would call myself a sterotypical girl (apart from being games mad and into heavy metal music). But I don't want cute fluffy as you call it Girly Games. I don't want to play shopping games or dating game (eck!). I think that games developers should realise that what girls want isn't these 'girly games' as you put it. I think girls just want some acknowledgement. Have you ever seen an advert for a game or a console that has a girl playing a game in it? I haven't, why not. I have pleanty of girl friends (not that type!) that like gaming.
One of my favorite games was GTA3, lots of violence but also a pretty challanging game at heart. Its a shame that game designers couldn't have added a female character as a playable choice though.
The sort of games that you have suggested make it sound like us girls are materialistic, swung by fashion, and lacking in brainpower. I think you will find that what most girls actually want is a challange and some recognition. I won't go as far as to say that your attitude is what cause the problem, but it certainly might be attitudes like your that have made games like barbie and kate and ashley appear on the shelves.

No. Why would you jump to such conclusions. You must have something weighing heavy on your conscience.
