I wonder when the game companies are going to realise that the fairer sex can actually use a controller and what's more understand the complexities of gaming. It seems to me that everything is at present geared to the male of the species.

I once saw a 3D horse jumping game
It was like most motor racing games but instead of a steering wheel there were two ears on the screen. About once every two seconds the next fence would jerk nearer to you if you steered the ears correctly.
On approaching the fence you had to press fire at the right moment to jump the fence.
Oh well, I just thought you should know. We offered the author a slot on Don't Buy This, a compilation of the worst games ever. The author turned it down and said he was very upset that we should suggest it was rubbish!

The more tastes for girls are platformers mostly, like Banjo Kazzoie, they may want all those barbie games, but they will always go for a game with a plot.
Somethig like Final Fantasy which has a very thick plot line that fits in well to make any gamer feel invovled in the game.
They love a game with plots as they can get to understand the game alot more than sports games like football or skating games.
They enjoy the simple games like puzzelers something understandable, addictive, fun and colourful.
They love exploring new places as in Zelda has and many of the fun mini games in Mystical Ninja or ShenMue.
They won't mind as long the game explains what you've got to do in order to complete it they don't like the kind of games that go bang..you've got to shoot into that goal or you've gotta wriggle your controller like this.
That's what a female gamer likes in games, and why they love games so much, but not as much as males do.

The main reason that the games industry is geared towards the male of the species is that it's the biggest market.
The reason that it is the biggest market is that men and boys like playing games. The same cannot be said for the majority of the fairer sex.
The reason that games developers don't make so many female orientated games is that they do not get enough feedback about what females want from gaming, and so find it difficult to make games for that market.
So, more feedback from females is required to enable them to produce more games for females that females will want to play.
Simple, really.
