A mate of mines wife is the Master of Age Of Empires. I watched her play maximum computer opponents on the hardest level and wipe them all out. Never seen anyone else do that. She used to beat us all at games. Didn't worry us though. I don't mind losing if the game is fun.

My girlfriend beats me at Guitar Hero all the time. If that's not bad enough, she beats me using the regular controller instead of the guitar controller.

It's funny, my gf always loves playing Guitar Hero, she uses the guitar and I use the controller (on the 360).

Hubby refuses to play Wii Play, Wii Sports, or Guitar Hero 3 (in face off mode) against me because I beat him often.

Only because I have played more on them and have had more practice though.

I take it you want everyone's opinion on the "Girl Gamer Revier Icons"?

Where do I start....

I think we've proved so far in this thread that girls that play games do actually exist, and are in far greater numbers than we all would of guessed. The common sensus seems to so far be that seeing a girl playing any form of a game, popping up on the net gaming, owning a console, shopping in a game store, is kind of like a novelty. A case of "OMG it's a girl".

What I personally was hoping to do with this thread, at least on this site, is do away with the novelty that we seem to be. The only way I see of doing that is making all the manly men realise that we're not that uncommon, we do have just as varied a taste in games as guys, we're just people that like to play! I felt it was needed to be able to say that we are here, thereby making us as much of a part of gaming culture as the guys, on equal ground.

These little icons say (from behind my eyes) that reading this review will give you a completely different view on the game because it's a girl. But that's not right. It will be a completely different view than someone else's review, because it is coming from a different person, just the same as the difference between any two male reviews.

I just think that it takes it all a step back and turns us back into the novelty, the gimmick we have been for so long that I'd really like to try and escape from.

But, that's just my opinion. It's not me arguing the idea, it's just how I see it. I may be looking too deep into this one.

But I'd really like to know what everyone else thinks these icons say. I'd like to hear some guys opinions of what thay would think in seeing them on a review aswell.

Oh, and for the record, the second pic reminds me of Hooters

I'm with Omi on this one. The icons come across as very patronizing. I know that wasn't the intent but that's the way it appears to me also.

On a side but similar note I did find this earlier.

It sounds like it's a stigma that is going to take a while to disappear.

OK.

I wasn't after total submission. I'm not telling you not to do it. I'm stating the reasons why I think it's not the best idea. But you obviously had reasons to begin with why you thought they would be a good idea, so don't submit! Speak up! What do you think they say? What were you trying to say? I'd be interested to hear your opinion!

That was discussed a couple of pages back (Magick found it, I think) The main thing that stuck out was "It's so easy, your girlfriend would play."

I'm on my way out the door to work, but when I get the time I'll put forth my reasons why I think it's a good idea.

Oh dear lord.

Here's an idea, why not split the site into two parts. Leave the one for guys as is (focused on any game of interest). Then cover the other in pink and show the words "girl gamers" alot. (Patronising maybe?)

Look, I see it like this.

The popularity and lifespan of the site depend on content, not girl gamer icons.

Right here. What? You can't say I'm not.
