As long as there are videogames, there will be an expectation to see brutish men shooting each other in the face. In that respect, men in games are as typecast as much as women - besotted with violence and power. Similarly, publications like Cosmopolitan magazine present a homogenized version of the perfect woman: one built to attract men. At least chicks in games kick ass. But, whatever side of the gender divide you fall on, you can’t deny that games across the board will be better if they feature strong and realistic female characters.
