Description

In honor of the first lady of vidya gamez, I have a challenge for you: In order to win this Tomb Raider Anniversary, you must post an article about women and video games in the comments- No duplicates. They can be about the types of games women play, how women are presented in games, history of a particular series or character, developers, studies on how games affect women or girls etc.

Make sure you check to make sure no one has posted the same article (even if it's hosted through a different site) Please limit it to English language articles. I'm curious what you all can find.

Please note that YOU CANNOT WIN UNLESS YOU POST AN ARTICLE

Page not found :O

Edit- found it through google, though- you're good :)

UK article about how a very large percentage of hardcore gamers are female. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7796482.stm

This was a really interesting article- especially the point about cultural time lag- our perceptions have yet to catch up with reality.

Some of us understand it, but that's just coincidence. ;-)

Here you are, an interview with Ellen McLain, famous in gaming circles for the voice of GLaDOS (+ turrets) and Still Alive:
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/831/831900p1.html

(And if an interview doesn't count as an article, then this should: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/831/831900p1.html)

Also, thanks for the giveaway. :-)

Something I remember seeing a while back when I used to like IGN. It is kinda interesting, just posted this to qualify for winning, but still, I have a brazillian magazine which tells the evolution of women characters in gaming, I'd post the article here or a scan of it (in portuguese but google translate exists hehe), but I can't find the magazine anywhere!

I shall post about Samus lingerie for great justice, since it's relevant to everyones interests, I'm sure!

Also, a little addon, that doesn't even really classify as an article, more of a newsi if anything, nonetheless it presents us some very interesting revelations about our own gaming community ;3

women are not dinosaurs. They will not stomp around and go extinct just because you want them to

Does it have to be a text article? Just saw a good video recently is why I asked. Let me know if that's okay. If not I'll try to find an article with similar points.

I <3 killing girls! I mean.. You know what I mean.

I remember when they used to change the gender of female characters to male when games would come over from Japan just so American's wouldn't have to see females fight. We've come a long way.
