II'm a real girly girl so would love any recommendations of any girly games that any of you might have played. Like fashion design games or things like that. !

you might like Pheonix Wright - its a visual novel game, no fashion design I'm afraid, you play an attorney and you have to talk to people and collect clues then go to court and try and win the case - it works really well on the DS.

Im so supprised that more men havent been in here giving it all that " women are crap at games " " stay in the kitchen " etc etc.

Granted there have not been a huge host of games designed with girls in mind ( and the ones that have thee girls dont like - Hello kitty adventures for example.....GTFO), its nice to see them playing games which are generally aimed at blokes. And the skill of female gamers is certainly rising alot, over the last few years soem of the female gamers have even turned pro ( no not the frag dolls ) and are earning good money form something they enjoy.

But now i have to say the OH is dire at most games. For example i sat her down to play forza2 one day. On a nice easy track with a slow car, up she coems to a corner so i tell her to slow down and turn in.... No... that was stupid of me... She drops a gear, gunns it and rams right into the armco !

Oh yeah. The law stats roms are not illegal as long as you own the original game on its original media type !

Dragan

My ex used to stomp me regularly at Soul Calibre 3, which was very annoying as i was pretty damn good at that game!

She was freaking awesome on Gods of War as well, finished it on God mode before i did which turned me on a bit.

Current flat mate is a legend, loves games. Has hundreds of the old school games on emulator.

I think i love her.

Maybe the law states that but boards states otherwise and are quick to warn people on the games forum.

I forgot about Tekken, I used to play that all the time, along with Colin McRae Rally and Gran Turismo, i forgot we had a Playstation back in the day!

I've got quite a few consoles, got all the last-gen stuff and a Wii, but I play way too much World of Warcraft for my own good (2 level 70 characters, one of which is in T6 raid content - and this means nothing to non-WoW players!). I've been gaming for a very long time, since I was about 7 years old (I'm going to be 24 this summer), and it does annoy me sometimes when people assume that girls don't game.

I absolutely loved Tekken... I used to play against my brothers and demolished them every time. It was brilliant!!

Ha yeah I played it with my brothers too. I don't think I ever won! Maybe when my bro had a cup of tea in one hand

If you want a real girly game for the ds Cake Mania can be quite addictive, gotta get those cakes iced

tekken is legendary!
the ds has some crazy games. cooking mama is another one that springs to mind.

Dragan

I would recommend Loco Roco to everyone!

Gauge

I love my DS games- pokemon, phoenix wright, trauma centre... and all them twee little games like Harvest moon and animal crossing. Gotta milk my cows and find a wife, while selling turnips to a racoon

I have a Wii and I adore Guitar Hero and Super Mario Galaxy! Also have a PS2, We Katamari is an amazing game. I've always liked the final fantasy role playing stuff, but I just don't have the time to grind in those any more. On my laptop I have games like Sim City, The Sims, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Civilization... I love strategy games!

I'm tempted to buy a PSP to pay games like the Katamari one, and Patapon, and other quirky stuff like that...

Well, I have a pc, its a bit old and jaded at the moment, its waiting for its upgrade.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.4GHz Socket AM2
1MB, 65W
Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB
128Meg x 64, CL5, 667MHz, 240-pin
Western Digital Raptor 150GB SATA
16MB 10000RPM
MSI K9N SLI Platinum,nForce 570 SLI,ATX,
Socket-AM2,2xGbLAN,DDR2,Firew,2xPCI-Ex16
and a x1950xtx pro.

So on that, my favourite games would be Quake, Battlefield 2, HL, HL2, and I really enjoyed Quake 4. COD4 was pretty good too. I'm in a Battlefield 2 clan for the last....eh...oh my god, three years?, but we don't play so much anymore, the game sortof declined a bit.

On the Snes, good old mariokart or zelda. I used to be pretty good at Street Fighter, but I lost all my skillz. They may have been imaginary.
EDIT: Omg, Bomberman! How could I forget. Way back when, I lived in a crappy apartment in Ranelagh. I'd just come home after surgery, and I was unable to work for a month. All I had was a crappy tv, my snes, and Bomberman. All I did was play through over, and over, trying to beat the game in the fastest times.


On the Sega, Need for Speed. Oldschool.

I only had a Playstation one, I don't think I liked any games on that. I played a lot of them, but I can't remember any. Oh, Pandemonium, that was sortof cool. And I played Spyro, that was okay. Meh. The whole thing just sucked. I was a nintendo child, and there was none of that yayness with the playstation.

On the wii, the winner is Super Mario Galaxy. Zelda Twilight Princess was..... okayish.

On the Xbox, Pgr / Forza.

On the Xbox 360, (which I just gave in and bought) it's all about the Forza.

I still have all these consoles under my tv, with the exception of the Sega and the Playstation, which I gave to my brother.
I'm not into any rts / mmorpgs or anything, I really only like FPS, and for consoles mainly racing games.

But to be honest, like anything else, it'll vary wildly, there'll be lots of girls who don't play, just like there's lots of boys who don't, but no-one ever really thinks to survey them.

Is there a similar post going in BGRH, just for balance?

....wow. Good inspirational post straight off the bat.

I remember playing with you a few times back in the good old days of BF2 (though I tried to play it again lately, and being so conditioned to Call of Duty 4, I was almost promptly sick in my mouth) and while it's unusual to see a female gamer in terms of playing FPS games, it's even rarer to see one that's actually good.

My girlfriends role in BF2 was to just follow me around and revive me whenever I died. Some may argue that's a womans rightful place...:D

Ah ladies, howryis?

Just thought I'd further something that was posted in the Games forum recently.
Someone asked for recommendations for games for his girlfriend, which of course sparked off the debates about what games girls enjoy.

Who among you enjoys video games, and what would be your favourite games?

Not trying to find any common thread between the games you enjoy, more a matter of trying to buck the image that there are games "for girls".

I'm obsessed with sim city 4. The sims2 is ok too. I also like games such as dreamfall the longest journey. Zelda is a great game as is this random ps2 game called dark cloud.

do no girls like final fantasy?

I used to play number seven until it got scratched bad, but my bro got a copy of it a few days ago, but he wont let me play it the fecker, says its "rare" ad he paid 70 quid for it and I'm not getting near it. Ill wait a few days and nick it.

I play a lot of guitar hero, went out and bought it at Christmas, Im so addicted.
I bought Lemmings there a while ago, brings back loads of memories!
Kula World didn't move outside of my house for a few weeks because of that one . Street Fighter, Tekken, Theme Hospital, GTA, Mario, Sonic, Tomb Raider, Donkey Kong.
I play Call of Duty 4 sometimes, but Im hopeless cause I cant get the hang of the XBOX 360 controllers.

rare? why?
surely you can get it on ebay cheap enough. 7 was brilliant, 10 was deadly too, havent played 11 yet.
great game, you do need some free time to play it tho.

found it, 20 euro. http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-PS1-Final-Fantasy-7-Platinum-new-sealed_W0QQitemZ360038539112QQihZ023QQcategoryZ3719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well I don't know what he's talking about then, I presumed he got it off ebay cause it came in the post. Seems he is just being mean. He will suffer accordingly.

I didn't know games consoles were kitchen appliances these days?

Portal. It's one of the best.games.ever. Sing along too!:

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

And you can get it on xbox as well as pc methinks.
I love all Mario games and Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii rocked!! I go to "the crazy place" when I find a game that I like, staying up all night to complete it and all that. Having said that I pride myself on being nerdy, and have a vested interest in the aul computhers, so my taste mightn't be everyones.

Can you go wrong with an oul platformer? I loved locoroco on the PSP and that was aimed at kiddies. Crazy place insued regardless. Do you know of one game that she likes? You could try a bit of collaborative filtering using this website and get ideas:http://www.gamespot.com/
