WomenGamers.com
Hey ladies (and gentlemen), here is a site worth checking out! WomenGamers.com, whose slogan is “Because women do play,” aims to inform its audience of the latest industry trends and offer product reviews, game reviews, and informative gender-focused articles written by gamers for gamers. The “Reviews/Previews” portion of the site analyzes video games and gives them overall ratings of 0 (disaster) to 10 (awesome). Each review concludes with a “Marketing Efforts Toward Women” section which examines the game’s appeal to women gamers, including the effectiveness of the female characters and whether or not sexist themes are apparent. While you’re here, you might want to check out some women-and-gaming statistics.
