    She has good taste.

    Aye! Not a lot of young, so called "real gamers" can manage such games. Fair play to her!

    It is predicted that by the end of this year, female gamers will outnumber men for the first time.

    Eh, hold on, Women who play Farmville and all the Facebook crap don't really count, do they?

    My old man is retired and plays on a daily basis. He has a 360 which he plays CoD on and he now gets all my old PC parts and has a half decent system which he plays CS:GO on! I've tried to get him to branch out but he just loves military FPS's!
    Get him ARMA2.

    It seems they're being counted, so some people with an agenda can claim another thing that women are "better" at than men.

    Actually would be a very appropriate game for people who might not have the dexterity for faster, more demanding games. It can be played at one's leisure, and while the somewhat obtuse systems would potentially be restrictive, the maths and strategy heavy gameplay provide a better mental workout than the vast majority of games offer. Certainly considerably more rewarding and involved than anything daytime TV has to offer, Coundown arguably aside!

    Basically: more people need to play more Disgaea ;)

    Ahh it wouldn't be his thing, too much going on for his liking ha. He just likes to run around like a headless chicken shooting at anyone that pops up on screen. A bit like your typical 15 year old CoD player actually!! :pac:

    He wasn't even a fan of battlefield because he "doesn't have time to learn how to fly or drive tanks" even though he plays about 3 hours a day!! :p

    Really?! I find that hard to believe

    Yeah, that surprised me too. But as someone said, it probably counts Farmville and stuff like that so that probably skews the numbers a bit.

    It's gaming but it's not really gaming, is it?

    Ah fair play to him.
    My Da loved PGA golf,we used to stay up for hours playing it.
    He used to drive me mad taking ages working out the perfect shot only to stick the ball 2 inches from the hole lol.
