Why girls and games are a good mix
The grim thrills of Silent Hill appeal to some women
"Anna Larke works for games developer Argonaut and has worked on titles like Croc, Buck Bumble for N64 and the Harry Potter games.
Here she tells BBC News Online where video game makers are going wrong in their attempts to appeal to women. "

Different from the majority in the game industry, Anna Larke prefer attracting female game players by developing game regardless of the gender instead of "for girls". Which reminds me of this abnormal phenomenon in the game market. Besides the game development itself, we neglect the change on market building and commercial media. Game magazine and website are regarded mainly for male. This must change at first. The game society and the architecture needs a revolution now.
