"Oh, if you are a girl, you already like games, and you’d like to call us hypocrites and complain that our content is overly male targeted, well, I’d just like to welcome you to the internet. Keep fighting the good fight."

The internet is serious business
:P!

I'm a girl and my favorite recent games are GTA: IV, GTA: Chinatown Wars (I bought a DS for it) and Fallout 3 (I do love headshotting baddies in V.A.T.S.). Maybe it would be good to remember girls are individuals that all have their own likes and dislikes?

i get really irritated when i have to play a game i do not like but a girl i'm with likes it and she forces me to play this game all the time when i want to stealthfully kill somebody.

remember, if you assume you make an ass out of u and me (that came from bad news bears)

Good article, very accurate, and I think it's good to try and get your other half involved in something you feel passionately about. Sure, if they try it and don't like it, leave them be, but its worth a try.
That being said, I think you have been a bit biased towards fps genre (with a few exceptions).
Being a girl myself, personally I have never been interested in that genre anyway, it just doesn't do it for me, but I do enjoy other types, for example strats, mmo's, racing etc...

Good article nonetheles, good job!

I would really like it if my GF liked games! I would definitely give the recommended ones a try.

My girlfriend is rather casual gamer. I've tested the waters a little bit with her, with games like Viva Pinata and Plants vs. Zombies, they're not balls-hurt hard, and they're fun for both of us.
