Thank you Kerry for a fascinating article and a new and interesting take on an issue of gender in gaming. I'd love to hear more articles along these lines. As a man who isn't always comfortable with some of the masculine gaming sterotypes - powerful muscular, weapon-toting characters I think it's important that games look to diversify as much as possible, for the good of the whole market. Give me more Guybrush Threepwoods to empathise with! By coincidence I've recently picked up Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi so it'll be interesting to play that. I'm intrigued by Style Boutique (Style Savvy) now, having been quite intrigued by the demo...
As a very recent purchaser of a 64GB memory card, by main sympathies go out to anyone hitting the 100 icon limit. With minis and PSM games, you can hit that with a smaller card, but with the top memory card, you have to pack on loads of big games not to hit it.
If the Vita is going to be Fergal Gara's 'iPod of Gaming', the 100 limit is going to have to be lifted (let me throw dozens of minis and PSM games at it, especially as PlayStation keep giving them away!) and more ways to search through the games too, because if I stick, say, 300 games on it, flipping through screens of bubbles just might not cut it any more.
