There is a thread similar to this one over at MyWii and because we have quite a few girl gamers here, we need one here too!

This is a place for all girl gamers to talk to each other and where the topic of "girl gamers" in general can be discussed.

So to start things off...

Is the DS your first introduction into gaming or were you a girl gamer long before now?

Hey Girl Gamers!!

Awesome idea adding this thread Rell.

Ok, so i dont have a ds. I only have a wii atm, but im hoping to nab a cobalt blue ds as soon as money will allow! XD

Ive been a 'casual' gamer all my life.
Been through the Sega, Super Nes, N64, playstation 1, 2 and portable, and now i have the wii.

Thanks but I can't take the credit for this one. It was a suggestion by the Admin team and as i'm the only female in the team...the job was mine start it.

I've been a gamer most of my life too. I've been through Atari, Amiga, C64, Sega, Nintendo (handhelds), Playstation, XBox, various forms of PC and Wii. *phew* Showing my age now.

My Dad has always been into computers and stuff and my husband has worked in the field in one way or another since i've known him so computers/consoles etc have pretty much always been a part of my life.

I love playing games. But i don't know if I can really call myself a "gamer" in the real sense of the term.

I have my psp, ds (crimson/black) and the wii. And i try to divide my time evenly in playing them.

however, the answer to your question is NO. This is not my 1st introduction into gaming. it all started with me when the "Game & Watch" first came out. Then had the Atari, then Super Nintendo, then Playstation then PSP then Wii and the latest one is DS. i love them all!! Dang, i hear you girl (Rell), guess, that's also showing my age.

Ok so I had just joined becuase of your post. Presviously I would browse but never post, then read this thread and just had to join.

I have been gaming for about 20 years now. Started off with the Super nintendo and then basically have every gaming console since.

My DS is new best friend. It goes everywhere I go and I don't leave home without it.

The guys at work all buzz out when they hear that I'm into games and they love it when I get all technically on them. Its funny cause they think that just because Im a girl they assume that I don't know. TIMES HAVE CHANGED BOYS, WE ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH .



PS. My fav games are Super Marios, Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, Trauma Center, and Puzzle games.

I've always liked games.. I've had other stuff before the DS but I never owned many consoles when I was younger because my parents were heaps stingy hihihi. My boyfriend got me into playing games more

I'm not one of those really really good people at games, but I do get addicted and end up spending a lot of time playing them T_T And I enjoy competing with my boyfriend hehehe, even though he beats me most of the time, it's really fun when I win hehehe.

Boy gamers are in the majority anyway. You don't need a special thread.

What games(s) are you all playing at the moment? You've listed your favorites but are your current games different from those?

I'm still playing CrossworDS. I go back and forth with Touchmaster and i'm starting to get back into Professor Layton.

Hi there girls!
I don't post here much, I'm mainly over at mywii, but I thought I'd pop in and say hello. I hope this one goes aswell as the one on MyWii for you all.

I've had my DS for over a year now and I still love it. Although I'm thinking of upgrading it to a brand new shiny Crimson/Black one and fending off my old white one to a relative

I've been playing Elite Beat Agents atm, always wanted to try it out and was glad I bought it when I found it for $16 a Kmart! Very addictive little game.
I've been playing my Wii a little more though, good old Mario Kart and Dr. Mario, aswell as getting into Wii-fit.

My first console was an Atari 2600.... No! I'm not old! I was very young!

Girls do like games other than thinking games.

My friends that are girls come over all the time to play Call Of Duty.
Face we like those games to

I think the DS and Wii are probably more attractive to girls against the xbox and playstation (if the girl is new to gaming).

I agree there my wife tends to play her DS and the Wii more than she plays the PS3.
