This shouldn't even be a question that needs to be asked... but I guess there are people who think that they shouldn't. I personally think girls are a lot more interesting if they actually do play games. Gives me even more things to talk to them about.

It is totally wierd how girls tend not to be too interested in gaming.I mean that attitude in the world "we can do anything guys can do and do it better" should if anything encourage girls to whoop our butts.but they just tend not to be interested. (and yes girly games targeted FOR girls absolutely REEK!!!) But yeesh one of my girl friends (girl who is friend) absolutely RULES at the Halo games. she average on every weapon but the sniper and sparten laser, then your toast XD . Sigh.... XD I wish more girls were like her...

Yes; if by 'cool' you mean alright. Because if you mean 'cool' in the same way as 'wicked' or 'neato' or 'awesome'...then no, no it isn't cool...it's nerdy. But Nerdy is the new black so GO FOR IT!!!

I'm a girl, and I love games, mostly RPG's though, platformers, and action games. Not big on shooters, though I have beat BioShock, and played Halo a little. Bloody games don't bother me, I own both Gow 1+2. Meanwhile my female cousin plays online, and plays all kinds of shooters, and she kicks butt, and despite her name being one that obiviously makes her a girl, she gets asked all the time, "Are you a girl?". Why is it that some people still can't accept the fact that girls can play games too?

@gintsukimegamiAh, give it a generation or so. Not saying it'll stop, but there'll probably be support in more games to let people know your gender :) we're still human, after all. But I definitely think it's cool that girls play video games.

Yeah, I often got that one too :( Is it so wrong when they see a gamer girl? Why it is so weird to peoples eyes? I got the same question when my friends (boys) when they know I'm a gamer like them, they say "You're a girl, what does the girls know about gaming?" Really, it's really insulting to hear that. :( And even though I'm a girl, I don't mind playing action or horror games, though I really prefer RPG one. Just don't conclude that the girls only stick with racing and girlie games. There's a lot of tough gamer girls outta here. :ryan:

as a boy, i think most girls arent good at vid games, but i know that not only boys who are gifted at playing games, so i believe it's a common thing to find a girl playing games

Girls kick ass @ video games... and I dont just mean games that are labeled as stereotypically 'girl games' like Cooking Mama, Harvest Moon & Puzzle games like Tetris... (although mind you I do rock at tetris!) As a chick gamer I really enjoy all genres of video games. I love playing classic RPG games like FF & Secret of Mana... but I also really dig games like Doom, Unreal & MGS. I also really love Guitar Hero atm... and am proud to say that I whoop my BF's ass at it :good: Also i'm addicted to World of Warcraft and have have a epic'd out raiding Troll Hunter (See my Sig. She's Pwns!!).. Oh yeh and I love Diable & Stracraft too. =)So yeh.. basicly my point is that chicks don't just like the same types of games... or the ones that you expect them to.

It doesn't matter what people say you know they're still gonna play but tome it doesn't matter. Guys are good some games and Girls are good at other games. I don't care if a girl beats me in a game. I have real bad problem with losing.

I see girls liking fighting games or stupid kiddy games such as my girlfriend but when it comes to serious gaming i dont see them as much and when i do see them its usually because they have an agenda such as that whole "anything you can do i can do better" mentallity
