Digital Women


Just found this website called WomenGamers.com, and there is a page looking at female characters in video games.

"Proportionally, there are not many female characters in games. There are even fewer really GREAT female lead characters that are as powerful and fun to play as the male characters, that women can relate to and identify with. Female characters are typically portrayed as weaker than the male characters, as sexual objects, and/or as victims of violence. We have heard enough complaints about this from female gamers to believe that this is a problem in the industry. We decided to review the current selection of lead female characters as a way to give the gamers and consumers more information, and to spark discussion. "

Great review of female characters...
