This was on yesterday's Top 10, which was about video game myths. Number nine, GIRLS DON'T PLAY GAMES

Quote:
I guess in this day in age, its no secret that girls, in fact, do play video games along with the rest of us male gamers. Actually, it might surprise you to know that there are more girl gamers above the age of 20 that there are guy gamers who are under 18 years old, the usual targeted demographic that many have expected to play video games. In fact, a lot of the games that you have played thought the years have either been made by girls or played most by girls, the best example being Pac Man, due to its lack of violence and bright colors. The reason why many people believe this myth is because of what reasons you might think of. Video games have always been thought of something that only guys played and bonded with, but like anything that has once been male
GIRLS LOVE BRIGHT COLORS AND LACK OF VIOLENCE AMIRITE

'Pac-Man' is the most appallingly violent game series ever. I mean, 'Resident Evil' can get a little gory, but even there you don't defeat your undead foes by messily devouring them.

I thought girls only played Ms. Pac-Man, since they could relate to the main character better.

Mario's a pretty brightly colored game.

Clearly, this means that Shigeru Miyamoto is secretly a woman.

No way, they play Pacman Jr. because they love babies.

Did she have any idea which one? Because I bet she'd love Postal 2. There are lots of colors in it.
