Gaming and Gender
This seems to be becoming a popular subject lately. This time 1UP visits the topic of gender stereotypes in gaming.
The article acts as a kind of potted history of women in games, and also details the good, as well as the bad portrayals of the fairer sex in this occasionally marvelous medium we call videogames. However, in the interests of equal opportunity, it also deals with the male stereotypes. And finally, for good measure, the media portrayal of games and gamers gets a kicking.
Game Girl Advance also have a few
things to say about the issue.
Any article that sticks the boot in on the lamentable G4 gets my vote!
