Virtual Girl Games

Grrl Power!

Over the past year, thousands of new Girl Games websites and arcades have appeared all over the internet. There are now more girls and women playing games online than men and boys! ... Power to the Grrls!!!
44% of women own a gaming console such as a Wii, Xbox or PlayStation, compared with just 39% of men. (Denizens of Digitivity survey - Sept 2007.)

But what are the Best Girl Games sites? ♥♥♥


Let's explore the best and the worst of "Girl Games", and see where it's all going! Are us girls really just obsessed with Barbie, Makeover, Fashion,Dress up games, and Bratz games to play - or do we want something more?

Checking out the delightful: "MissBimbo.com"

Here's a few girl and women gaming sites, just to kick off some debate!

Do girls really just want to play virtual games like the controversial and aptly named: "Miss Bimbo.com" , where the aim of the game is to become the coolest, richest and most famous bimbo in the whole world"with virtual diet pills and breast enlargements?

Girls are apparently given missions,such as securing plastic surgery to give their "bimbo" bigger breasts and finding a billionaire boyfriend to bankroll her, while keeping a constant check on her hunger, thirst, happiness and other statistics.

It seems that over 200,000 girls had registered for this game!

After hitting recent news headlines, for their poor influence on young girls, "Miss Bimbo.com" , is currently offline - with an apology on their home page!
(See this British newspaper feature!). Or this feature article: Offensive Bimbo game set to take a pounding! from Ars Technica has alot of interesting debate on it.

My games site was actually approached by "Miss Bimbo" for a link exchange, and I have to admit the name sounded a few warning bells for me!

bim·bo [ bímbo ] (plural bim·bos)
noun

Definition:

1. an offensive term for an attractive woman who is regarded as unintelligent and shallow

So...is "Miss Bimbo" "HOT" or "NOT"? What do YOU think?

What about "Girl Games Arcades", of which there are now about a million online! But are some of these are set up just to make a bit of cash?

You can buy an arcade games pack and the web template for virtually nothing, register a cutesy, girly style domain name like "girlyarcade666.net". Then just pop some ads on the game pages, sit back, and watch the money come in. As the girls play games, and also click on the ads.

Many of these arcades also appear to be run by people (sometimes male!), who sometimes own several arcade sites, and just duplicate content on each site, using exactly the same games, but with different website name and designs. I'm not saying this is wrong or bad, but it just shows that there's a money-making industry forming around these girl arcades.

Some of these online girl themed games sites, ofcourse, are high quality, stylish, artistic, and imaginatively designed. I'll list some now that really stand out.
