Why don't? I think I can just express a better opinion than my girl of which game she could like. As she doesn't use to play my beloved psp. But what do I love more? Eeeeer... I don't know.
BTW, FIRST!

and also have to agree with earlier comment, why no puzzle category?
Probably because even though the site running this poll likes to classify themeselves as "girl gamers" (rather than just "gamers"), they also seem to be scared of conforming to existing "girl gamer" stereotypes (eg all girls like puzzle games), whether those stereotypes are accurate or not.

Lame poll. CoX is much better then any of the other games listed by far for many reasons. I enjoy my health amount of tanker smash and mastermind ruination.
Every other poll I've ever seen has listed the City of games together.

Yeesh man, when was the last time anyone expected the woman to do all that stuff? I've been happily married over 15 years, and my husband and I share ALL the household stuff depending on who has the time to do it. So yeah, when he's working more hours than me, I take care of things, but when I'm working to support him, you bet he pulls his own weight.
We also game together, have the longest running relationship of anyone we know, and have scare-the-neighbours great s*x together.
If you seriously think that women want you so bad they're willing to be your housemaid/h**ker just to bask in your manly glow, then you are heading for extinction, my troglodytic pal!

I am a FULL TIME - At Home Mom with a 3yr old toddler and a 9 mo. old. My J-O-B is; taking care of my children, cleaning the house, 4ppls laundry, groceries, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dishes, sweeping & moping, vacuuming, bathrooms, pets, bills, diapers, bottles, baths......IT NEVER ENDS!!
Did you know that DAYCARE is just ONE of all those jobs? (thats all they do, is watch kids....I could do that)
I'd need a maid, a laundress, a cook, a babysitter, a teacher, a nurse ....... to just take over MY job!
And I didn't include my Wifely duties. :)
That is my never-ending, 8hr shift.
BUT, I am very lucky to say that I have an AWESOME hubby for I would of probably hit 'Nuckin Futs' if it wern't for him. He does SO much, because, even tho he goes to an 8hr a day job. He also knows that being a DAD is FULL TIME too.
I am just blessed to have a man who can see, ALL OF what I do ......... and then, straight up tell me "I don't want the job." lol But its a good thing we share some of them!
~So Where -o- Where did my social life go?
The only real other 'escape' you have since you can't leave your house w/o kids, is you comp. Where you can get away and do something different and relax.
(granted you only get this time when the kids are already asleep and you're so tired from the day you change you mind and hit da hay)
I enjoy CoH/CoV BECAUSE you get to interact w/ REAL people who are there to play not pick you up. You can accomplish things in this game w/ little time everyday. As vs. EQ2 where you need ALOT of time to get anything done.
Lots of versitility with the Characters you can create and pwrs they can wield. Wether you're Solo or Teaming you will be able to level your toon and enjoy the game.

CoH and CoV different games? Yah i have to say this out loud. CoV was designed SOooo much more inteligently. The "time sink" factor is lestened to a massive degree. I mean CoH has so many fed-ex missions for contacts. What a JOY it is to be told to walk my spandex butt across town, talk to someone in a Trial Zone.. then walk back to deliver the message, only to be told I now need to walk BACK across town to the far corner of Atlas.. and come back.. honestly, that happens all the time in CoH. It's like delivering whispers for the mafia! Have'nt these 'contacts' ever heard of a phone? Silly.. tedious...
Until recently with police band missions, CoH was by far slower if you did'nt have 8 person teams running full tilt boogie for XP. CoV did it right and they did it first. (Pssst! it's because the lead devs were different and because Fricking Statesman wasn't hammering it into his 'golden dream of heroism and goodliness' *wink*)
/bratmode on
And finally.. Statesman.. you big macho bastion of all things testosterone poisoned! Have you seen the bimbos in the vindicators? The're all h00kers in tights! Hell he even has his own cat-girl furrie! He's going nothing for the ladies of the CoX world. Male costumes have some amazing looking options and somehow the unique things that mimick theirs are half-a$$ed cobbled together versions of theirs. Pathetic. Further proof that males attempt to dominate MMOs, in this case from the top of the pyramid down. The men got a tux... what do we have as far as something that might come close to elegant? Well.. if you work at it, you can put together a dress that looks like something you tore off a dead crack wh0re. a strapless miniskirt... cr4p! can we not look like barbies??
/bratmode off
Right.. CoV, excelent as games go. Aside from some minor issues, it's got an amazing character creator, fun powers (though we could use more options) and YES.. Virtue is the only server.. period. RP FTW!
-Peace.

This is about the dumbest sh*t I have seen in a long time. If Women/Girl gamers want to hold a poll let them. Hell we get the Video Game Awards on Spike TV (you know the channel for "GUYS" crap). YET you guys are going to sit here and have a b*tch fest over these ladies getting a poll for thier favorite game. Give me a break man.
Some women are not into games, and that is cool to, My ex-wife wasn't... That's why she is an ex. My new wife is.... That's why she is the new wife. I have a funny feeling the guys bashing the ladies here need to 1. Make the wife and ex and find a gamer wife, or 2. Grow up and realize we dont live in 1910 we live in 2007 and you have to game with women now, tough s**t live with it. On that note I know alot of gamer chicks that can outplay most of the guys I know. So ... you can decide for yourself who is full of s**t in most of these post.

the endless looks & power combinations will keep you coming back to make new toons. highly recommend this game to girlies new to the MMO's.
CoH/CoV for best MMO!!!
oh and for the mean boy who thinks girls should only wash dishes and don't know anything about games...you must be jealous because you can't play to save your life!! Look me up in COH and let's PVP...
MaghnusRed or Sachiyo---i'll tank you to the ground!!!

Secondly, this is for the women out there, that think your better than us men: Grow the ***** up! Yes, you had your moment in the past that brought you out of the households, and made you become equals in the workforce. You're in the Military, you're everywhere! That's great, and I personally think its a good thing. It brings diversity to the workforce, and I am all for that. But i do not believe that you are better than men, nor do i believe men are better than women...Equality means Equal, not a tipped scale!
Finally, i would like to say that CoH/CoV freaking rules! I will not cast a vote on this website for I am not of gender to do so, but i do encourage all of you that are female, to do so! This is a great website for people to come together and share ideas and not bash on each other...I sincerely hope that it doesn't cause any trouble and all the LOSERS stay the hell out!

BTW, to the egotistical puerile spawn of female canines, get over yourselves, out of the gaming world and into real life. I hope that no woman ever submits to your overtly abusive and controlling nature. I would hope that your unintelligent speech will land you in the nearest correctional facility as a soap holder in the showers.
To the gentlemen who support the women who game, a huge thank you for your assistance when we ask for it! You make the games that much more challenging and interesting. ;)

...and for the record, I started playing CoH the first day it dropped in the stores, and have been playing ever since. Don't believe me? ...well meet me in the arena, but plz don't cry when I pwn ya! Girlz rule!

Also, why is the game of the year list so short? That to, is pretty sad... not nearly so as seeing my fellow same-gendered friends unable to post anything more than, 'no response' though. Come on, pick it up a few notches!

Uh yah right, I was in the arcades in the early 80's probably before you were born buddy, playing the classics til the sun went down. Just cuz I'm a girl doesn't mean a thing, I've enjoyed video games since I can remember and I know few other girls IRL that enjoy them as much as I do (except my sister, must be in our blood) so step off your chauvenistic soap box and get over it....being an a** doesn't make you cool either.

One more thing, the stereotyping on some of the comments above is absurd!!!

Be honest. You don't have anyone except your lonesome right hand to do your ironing... Which is ironic because it's probably the only thing that gives you any action! XD
So go ahead, say everything ugly you like... +3 I support my girlfriend and any games she plays and your baseless intentional insults really contribute to nothing other than to the pile of evidence that leads toward your lack of intelligence.
Welcome to the future. I am a man. I play games. I would honestly rather play MMOs with a CoX girl rather than listen to your sexism.
Also, some girl posted a "we rule u" in here somewhere. +P I believe in equality. Don't argue with an idiot, hun. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Reply
Virtue... right?
Seriously... I have friends that pull people down like I see people (both male and female) doing in here. It's straight up sickening. If you wanna prove you're better, don't make an idiot of yourself by falling to your transgressor's level.
Also, this board fails at recognizing Equal signs, paragraph indenting, double spacing, and a shift key... :(

yes i am a girl gamer, have been since the days of the original NES. I have been playing COH/COV for almost 3 years as well (on triumph)

I run two very feminist leaning SG's in CoH, they are all women toons, though because of the content of the RP (one is anti-men completely (villain side, Sapphite League), and the other is a school for abused women (hero side, Sapphite Institute)), we tend to attract mostly real women gamers.... and some guy sazid one of my girls "was the name of a porno flick", and kept insulting us... on a team made up of 4 of us, and me running it. We kicked him off the team and added him to the people our women should not team with.

As for the men who've bashed us women players, my philosophy is this: If my live in boyfriend wants the time to play he best help me with the household chores so I can have time to play. If I don't get MY time to play, he DOESN'T get his time to play!

As far as the gender bias that some have displayed, I say to you...Meet me in Siren's Call. I'll make YOU cry like a little girl

BUT, you can't put the LowBrow males in the same catagory with the rest of the 'em, they are unedcuated and immoral.
Men who think that in ANY sense they are more superior to women need to take a running nose dive off a fricken cliff, and not pollute our future with your prodengey.
And for the rest of ya guys out there who believe that *we are all* *EQUAL* individuals, with the ability to do anything we can put our minds to.......Thank You!
I believe that when you put limitations/restrictions on things it only makes that person, (who is limited/restricted) MORE determined to DO it.
If you were told you weren't able to do something because of your FRACKIN gender.....would that not infuriate you?!
Welcome to 21st century, where WOMEN can do ANYTHING!

I have other toons on different servers but the other highest I have is a 32.
My 50 is on server Freedom. Send me an e-mail on the game if you ever want to team to: FireDagger13.
This is my hubbys account but we share it.

We've already started joking about where we're going to set up our daughter's computer once she gets old enough to game! :-D
As for the who's better than who... in EVERY situation - in the workplace, school, online, anywhere - you have the potential to either be good at what you do or just not give a flying f***, regardless of gender. Anyone can excel and anyone can fail, it just depends on what that individual wants more.
Yes - women should not be *expected* to want to be Suzie Q Homemaker and be subservient. Besides, in more and more families the husband is the stay at home one because the wife simply makes more money or he is willing to let her persue her career.
Equality is merely a willingness to compromise, believe in each other and yes, sacrifice.

Now that that has been taken care of, lets go onto the next soap box. I personally do not view mmo's to be a way to "pick up chicks", however, I would have to counter what I just said by saying that I am currently pursuing a relationship with a woman via CoX, and I can safely say, she'd kick any male's ass on this forum who even thinks something along the lines of "women can't play video games". To those that think I am contradicting myself, you may be right, but I can't help how I feel for her, and I can only hope it works out between us. HOWEVER, I do not condone the type of guy that comes onto a game like CoX, or WoW, or EQ, or UO, or RO, and makes the assumption that a female who plays this game must be lonely and needs some man loving. I know over 50 women who have to deal with that ***** every day, and I end up being the one that takes the brunt of it because I'm a ****ing walking mat, and I try to be emotionally supportive for all my friends.
In short, women rule, sexist men need to get their ****ing heads out of their collective ***es, not all men are emotionless jerks (myself for example), the only people who are created equal are identical twins, and even they might not be equal, and anyone who manipulates anyone else deserves to be shot, regardless of gender. IF you have a problem with anything I just said, you can find me on cov, globals @Shadow-Slayer, I don't pvp, but if you really have a beef with what i've said, you can use me as a verbal punching bag.
this is Shadow Maimer, liberty server, city of villains, signing off!

Newho, my boyfriend is an intense gamer (roleplaying, computers, and ps2), and he introduced me to COH.
I, for one, love it!
I just can't believe there's such debate about why girls can/can't play video games. I'll tell ya, it's a great way to destress -- beating the crap out of a "baddie" he he he.
COH rules in my book! :)

The interaction and graphics are great and have spoiled me for any other game. The community forums are a great help too, so are the GM's.
I am a member of the Ultimate Rumbletime Gang on Virtue and I would like to thank both the female and male sg members for all their help, advice and support for all my toons over the past 2 years.
