Add Penumbra to that list, loads of atmosphere, puzzles, dark, creepy, thief like. A game all its own. I'm enjoying it.
Oh and Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, and Undying, and Alice. :P

I have a friend in Texas and I play Unreal with her pretty frequently. We actually met in the game about 9 years ago.

Myself and LeatherMan used to run an UT2k4 RPG Invasion server, loads of fun, played for a few years.

I'm a female too and I like playing games, online, offline, tabletop, pen& paper...
Fallout (whole series...yes I liked "tactics" too^^)
Thief (whole series)
Baldur's gate (a long time ago *sigh* I miss it!)
Doom
CS (on- & offline)
Anarchy Online (as president of the biggest clanorg on DNW atm...so don't tell us girls we don't like gaming :cheeky:)
just to name a few...of course statistically we're a minority, but often more involved in the games we play ;)
best regards, turcaill :angel:

I'd say the women like to play the same games as the guys do. :P Depending on personality type, of course.
I see a lot of the others like the fighting type games. I tend to go for more 'story' myself. Or at least 'thinking', although not entirely, as you'll see.
Games I play/have played and enjoyed:
Kings Quest series (now thats going back a loong ways!)
Quest For Glory Series (another way back, but I still like to replay them every couple years)
Ultima Online (Free RP shards for a few years)
Morrowind (Still would like to try Oblivion. I probably will, about the time the sequel to *that* comes out. :P)
Thief series (Duh?! Still playing this)
Sims (All the way from the start, great way to find out you have 0 talent in building concepts. Hah!)
Guild Wars
Nancy Drew series (oh shush! I used to like the books as a kid and tried a game on whim and it was actually fun. Great way for an adult to revisit the classic char without being TOO annoyed at its simplicity. The puzzles can be annoying though. Thank God for walkthroughs and pre-written solutions. . .:weird:)
I can think of others I have enjoyed, and occassionally revisit, but not on any sort of 'big' scale. Torin's Passage, Majesty, Heroes of Might and Magic, Return to Krondor, Neverwinter Nights, Syberia - You can probably see a theme going here. :)
Never was one for FPS. Thief is a nice balance between the old 'adventure' style I've always liked and the FPS, I think. The 'action' isn't a requirement, though you can have some fun with it still. I actually appreciate being able to creep through and the violence is very low-key. Well, I suppose bopping people over the head is violent. . . but they wake up later, crabby, and with headaches, maybe, but they do wake up! We're not really hurting them. Much. :D I think my favourite missions are the ones that are heavy on the story as well, so there you go. Not sure what that tells you.

Yes, well, some of these games have things in common, so it's not like our female taffers have played all colours of the rainbow...
Oddworld, for instance, involved sneaking past enemies and hiding in shadows to aid you, and you had the disadvantage of being easily overcome, though it easily took one enemy to kill you.
Otherwise... Well, you catch my drift (Not Potatoguy's though... Wooh :eww:, open a window...)
Interesting, Off-topic information: There is current development for an Oddworld level editor. Not much about it, 'cept it seems promising for those who'd like to try their hands at level designing for another cult classic, I'm suspecting it'd be a bit like building fan missions for Lemmings... you'll understand why: (

Just to go one step further I'd say noone ever has...
If you are male, female or someone in between, everyone has his own favorites and a unique way of playing them, but I refuse to agree that there are "girl's" or "boy's" games ;)

Smell like... spuds. :weird: Oh.:o
It'd be cool if all the female taffers were accounted for and if the percentage was closer to 50.:cool: Two-thirds is a respectable fraction so far.
