subject: Girls Are Gamers Too [print this page] As the world becomes more technologically advanced, games become more diverse. Instead of only boys playing games, there is an influx of girl games online that cater to the ages.
Games for any age group
As more games become available to play online, you begin to see a shift between games that are age specific to games that are universal for all ages. Games range from dress up, make up, and fashion, to puzzles, kissing and music. As girls mature, their interests begin to change, and become more diverse. Where animal games and painting are entertaining to a five year old, they hold little to no interest to a girl in her teenage years. Girls over ten tend to prefer games that provide more of a challenge, or have to do with boys, and more mature topics.
As girls mature, into teenagers, games about cooking, shopping, or animals begin to lose interest for them. Instead they turn to games about dancing, music, and other games that provide a bit more challenge. Some of the popular games are girl pool party, the mind reader, or Love Test. Girls can socialize on games like SIMS Social or play games based off celebrities.
The differences between girls and boys
As we watch the list of new games for girls, we also wonder what the differences between these and popular boy games are. Girls prefer games that are less violent, and full of cute little items. Of course, some girls also play games like halo and angry birds.
Boys tend to be more oriented to first person shooter games and other fast paced RPG (role playing games) or MMO (massively multi player) games. Games for boys tend to be full of action, blood, and are fast paced. In the last decade, Blizzard Entertainment has made a profit on World of Warcraft. Not only does it cater to boys, but it offers girls the chance to role play as they like instead of being stuck in some adventure style story line.
Where can you find Games?
There are a variety of different options when it comes to buying online games. Stores like GameStop or Wal-Mart provide online games as downloadable discs. You can find them at arcade stores, in the mall, and other places that sell computer related products. Of course, if you don't want to travel to find a game, you can look it up online and download it straight to your console for the same price that you would pay at the store. Prices vary depending on the game popularity and where you buy it from.
No matter what happens next, technology is becoming more diverse each day and girl games online will only continue to become more detailed and entertaining.
