Our discussion topic focuses on whether or not companies stereotype girl gamers with their marketing. Next month’s topic will cover hardcore vs. casual gamers. Nermassa leads our Crafting Mama feature on Video Game Art – you will see lots of cool art here. In our Dare to Game section our husbands choose a game for us we wouldn’t normally play, this month’s games include Silrayne’s input on Metroid Prime (Gamecube), CatWoman’s impressions of Arcana Hearts (PS2), Sabergirl’s feedback on Kingdom Hearts (PS2) and Nermassa’s thoughts on Mega Man Power Up (PSP). We’ve got some exciting news to share with you including Silrayne’s impressions of The Protomen concert. We also read some listener email, tell you what we're playing and tell you how to contact us.
