I'm a chick, and I love games. Granted, I don't really like online stuff like MMOs or whatever Diablo III is trying to be (not touching that can of worms with a seventy-nine and a half foot pole, thank you very much). I much prefer being able to pick up and drop off at my leisure without interfering with other people's quality of gameplay, nor be at the whims of other people in regards to my own gameplay experience.
My tastes vary widely. I looooved Fallout 3 (FREAKING REAVERS GGRALBGH) and am enjoying the hell out of Skyrim, but previous loves of my gaming life have included Psychonauts, Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts 2 and 358/2 days, Sims 2, Recetear, Ghost Masters...
Ooh, if any of you know what that last one is I'd love to talk with you about it. Severely under-appreciated and bafflingly reviewed. (If you don't and like quirky games/light RTSes, go check it out on Good Old Games--it's only six bucks!)
