MSNBC.com – If you’re looking for a lively debate, the topic of gender differences is a surefire winner.

In my last column, on Ubisoft’s games for girls, I asked readers to give me their take on gender-specific games. And I got some seriously strong opinions.

Take Allison Shefcyx, a self-described “girl gamer” who wrote that she found my story “quite depressing.” She has fond memories of a childhood spent playing games such as “Super Mario Bros.” and “Final Fantasy.” And she thinks girls deserve much better than Ubisoft’s Imagine series.

(Interesting read but I don’t really see what the big deal is if the target audience is 8 year old girls. But then again we probably need more 8 year old girls playing Halo to bring the smack down on the guys.)
