Why Female Gamers Get Pissed!

As a male gamer you've essentially got it made with regards to character choice in gaming. Other than a pittance of titles that come out that feature female only or female heavy playable character content (Tomb Raider) majority of games will feature male only, or multi male character action.

Upcoming fighting title FaceBreaker is one title that features loads of character choice, but it seems out of the 12 or so fighters, only 2 are female. FarCry 2 by Ubisoft won't feature any female characters, despite having a roster of 9 to choose from.

Despite statistics showing women are playing games more and more and that these titles aren't just the stereotypical puzzle and sim titles, developers continue to stiff the female gamer.

It's damn annoying!!
