As I am one of those girl gamers out there, my 2c's:

At this point in time Im actually missing adventure games, i.e. Dreamfall, TLJ, The old school quest games. I do get some of that fix from newer stuff - ME was one of my favs and it did help. But I havent seen anything resembling the old school games in a while. I like my shooters every once in a while same as puzzle games. But I do get bored of the idea that girls only want games like the Sims, and popcap games. Altho I have nothing against those games, I do prefer mine with a bit of a puzzle to it. (and yes I do have a popcap addiction but its mostly due to boredom of the "skop, skiet en donner" games.)
