What Games Do Women Play? 193
wikinerd writes "BBC recently published the results of an Elspa white paper on women in gaming, revealing that women prefer RPG, adventures, easy driving sims, puzzles, Tetris, and life simulations like The Sims. I suppose that the Slashdot crowd knows much more about this topic than Elspa, so I ask you: What games do women like most and are they experienced players? What would be the difference if your opponent in a game is male or female? How does the gender of other gamers or chatters affect your on-line behavior, especially when the physical distance means you may never really meet face-to-face."

I have too many friends like this to count and I myself was like this during my teenage years.

Goals that don't just involve blasting everything in sight (like Metal Gear Solid). I get bored easily with first-person shooters.
Goals that involve skill and thought rather than just reaction speed. Battles that require tactical decisions.
