    I know theres games threads(god knows im in there enough) but I was just looking for a broader opinion on games from TLL.

    Games used to be almost firmly marketed at men and still are in cases of most of the years big sellers (Call of Duty, GTA etc) and main consoles (PS3,360) while stereotypically to cater towards the female market companys release themed consoles along with "cute" games such as a pink Nintendo DS bundled with Nintendogs.

    I know plenty of girls who love playing games but just looking at my friend lists on ps3 & 360 I realised a tiny minority of the girls I know actually have their own consoles while the others complete full games on their OHs/Friends.

    I suppose the point im getting at here is do you game and what is your opinion on it?If so would you play a lot of the big release shooters/racers or would you tend to lean towards more of the casual games mentioned above*? Would you only play in your OHs or male friends company or would you have your own setup?

    *Rock Band/Guitar Hero dont count since they rock all :pac:

    There was a thread on this already.

    I think the general result was, yes, a lot of girls play games.

    *cough*

    Here it is. and here.

    Don't think we need a third thread on it.
