    I'm currently in the middle of a college project, and I've chosen to analyse the recent Nintendo DS 'Games for Girls' advertisement. As part of this I am creating a questionnaire, and am going to analyse responses from female gamers and non-gamers. Unfortunately, none of my acquaintances actually play games, so I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to help. Questionnaire will only take around 15 minutes to fill out, and will simply involve watching the advertisement and giving some feedback.

    If anyone is willing to help, drop me a PM and I'll send on the details. It'll be anonymous, and you'd really be helping me out. Thanks in advance!

    Sure, I'll help out. I'm not sure when I'd get round to it though, when would you need them back by?

    Are you looking for responses from girls in a particular age bracket? I'll see if I can get some others to help out too.

    No rush: just to have it done within the next week or two. I'm looking for around 6 or 7 respondents, so if you can get one or two more that would be great :) No particular age bracket, either.

    If you want a wider opinion then I can ask my GF (semi-gamer) and sister (probably the target audience of these ads, into everything pink and Simish) to put forth their thoughts.

    Dont forget to email all your pics !!


    j/k




    Seriously tho, I hate all the "games for girls" ****e.

    You cant tell girls what games to play. Let everyone develop their own taste. Like music movies and books.

    I'm actually going to be interviewing some more casual gamers myself as I actually know some of them, but cheers for the offer.

    Yeah it is a really dodgy ad. Lots of eyebrow raising stuff going on in it. Plenty to write about though, hence this project ;)
