If you are reffering to the fact that the player can make their sims mate, I think that "woohoo" hardly counts as an emotion.

When I cry, or say.. wow, I wanna play this again, then it is a good game, but if I find myself beating it to beat it, then screw that.

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.

The characters in The Sims show emotions... Do you mean that or a game that makes the player emotional?

Yes, a game that can effect the player in a way that most games cannot. I mean, a doll can show "emotion" but that doesn't mean its an emotion stirring product.

So you would want a game that makes you emotional and cry? Aren't you a dude?

Yes, I like games that make me emotional, not neccisarily crying, but emotional. I like games that when a charachter dies, I dont just say.. "oh", but rather mourn in the passing of a video game friend.

Unfortunately, I dont get to play games much, the last game I played was Knights of the Old Republic 2 for 5 minutes about 2 days ago...

I play Silent Hill (because I couldn't tell by my signature, avatar, and personal quote could you?) I think that's a pretty emotional game. Err, Silent Hill 2. Most people are too caught up in the horror to realize it has a really good story in it. And I think, damn, they really should've made the movie out of SH2.

I'll shut up before I gush about my fandom too much.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies would make their games pretty damn stupid to try and pander to females despite the fact that female gamers are already playing. I mean, take Final Fantasy X-2. That was partially aimed at women and isn't one of the main features the fact that the characters can change their outfits or something (I've never played it)? Something silly and stereotypically 'girly' like that.

There are too many 'macho' games, though. I think G4 has really ruined the progress gaming image had by becoming a clone of SpikeTV. TechTV was a very intelligent channel =\ I mean it is a significant statement they sent by immediately picking up The Man Show

Huh? Signature? What's going on with that signature?

I think that we are going to see a huge shift in the gaming industry. There are going to be a lot more games released that are geared toward women. I think the Sims was really what started it all. Though I don't think it was intentionally geared toward women; Women really embraced the game and then after got into gaming.
