Wednesday, August 8, 2007. The Scale of RPG Heroines. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously, okay? If we looked at one aspect of Yuna, she might have scored higher, but the combined effects of her two distinct personalities have landed her in the ten spot. In Final Fantasy X, she has a heart of gold, if nothing else. She’s accessible to the average player, and she’s a bad ass with her aeons. Unfortunately, as the folks at Wing Heart Productions. Who was this character designed for, then? Make me wanna h...

Monday, July 9, 2007. The Grand Dominatrix Phenomenon. Buckle up your favorite studded collar, oil up your leathers, and lace those whalebone corsets tight - it's time for us to talk about the timeless Dominatrix Phenomenon of Video Games! Not that I'm here to knock on dominatrices in practice or in theory. I happen to know a couple, and they're quite the fun crowd. Rock on, dommes of dungeons dark, rock on.). Wherefore the sexy danger, often completely devoid of relevance to the character herself? A goo...

Monday, October 15, 2007. Live in Purity and then Die. In the Playstation 2's chilling 2001 release, Fatal Frame, an ancient custom called the Strangling Ritual ensures that the gate to hell beneath the Himuro Mansion remains shut. When the ritual goes wrong, however, the consequences bring hell itself to life. To ensure success, the Strangling Ritual requires what come as no surprise for such a religious and superstitious practice: the passive, virginal bodies of young women. 12:01 AM Link to this post.

Friday, June 27, 2008. Colonization: Fun 'n Games. It is reprehensible that colonists are so often portrayed as brave heroes earning what land is rightfully theirs- games such as Colonization only perpetuate this myth so common among Americans and Europeans. How about a game about colonization from the natives' perspective? Battle against an army of white folk claiming the land you've lived on for centuries to be theirs- now that's. A game I'd play. For another opinion on this game, check out The Cutscene.

Monday, August 27, 2007. Femininity: Whose Problem is It? Games for girls." That phrase stuck in my mind. Not that it was a terribly unfamiliar sight - overprettified, cartoonish games with difficulty levels that a three-year-old could master. As if, over and over, game developers were hit by the earth-shattering idea that humans of the female persuasion are suddenly playing games, gathering in masses of uninitiated, credit card-waving, pony-riding, lipstick-smeared frenzy. Eureka, indeed. To combat this...

Friday, February 15, 2008. Pseudoscience Strikes Again: It's Biological! GamePolitics has found another wonderful study that pseudoscience-loving types will eat right up: that men are more likely to become addicted to video games than women are. The men's brains lit up more than the women's? I don't need more information than that- after all, those smart scientists know what they're doing. That's all I need to hear! Why, it's bullet-proof! Did you see that? Why don't we take a closer look at this "study":.

Wednesday, September 19, 2007. I Love Girls with Big Swords. . . Waitaminute. Or, Advertisers make me crazy! Here I was trying to enjoy some music, when all of the sudden bam! I got hit by a massive advertisement for the recently released PS3 game Heavenly Sword. I visited the game’s official website. That’s some pretty heavy stuff. I’d consider the story much more substantial than the usual pretty girl runs around with a big sword and kills stuff games, and it seems to have plenty of RPG story eleme...

Monday, July 30, 2007. Trembling in your schoolgirl uniform. In the amazing and amazingly creepy Fatal Frame, protagonist Miku wanders the halls of the haunted Himuro mansion, searching for her brother. Armed with only a camera and a weak flashlight, she tiptoes down a hallway strung with dangling ropes. A flicker of light in the darkness ahead: the grainy visage of a ghost appears, and Miku raises her camera to her eyes, whimpering with fear. Sex Specifically, the different "effects" that game producers...
