Women and Video Games
Video game makers lately seem to be noticing that some women do play video games and that it is a sort of untapped market in the sense that there are millions that do not play and so they are trying to figure out a way to get them to buy more games and gaming systems.
I for one love video games and have played them from childhood and well into adulthood. I just recently finished the fourth installment of the CSI games called CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder and have a variety of pc games that I go to when not blogging or watching tv.
While I do enjoy video games I will probably never be the sort of gamer they are looking to snatch up their hot new games. My preferences lean towards walkthrough games such as Mario Bro., Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. I have played some driving games, and flying games but they are not what I would normally play.
I have also played a game I can’t remember the name of, in which I was an assassin and was in Asia trying to take someone out, but I just was never able to sneak the guy past the camera’s, bad guys and eyes in the sky, so I gave up. While I enjoy the movies, I have only played Resident Evil a few times and gave up when my older brother came into the room unexpectedly and I started screaming because of how on edge the game had me. The strange looks my boyfriend gave me didn’t help matters.
So unless they make more Spyro’s and Mario games they are not likely to see me renting or buying tons of video games, regardless of the large campaigns they throw out there.
