PAX Prime 2010

PAX 2009


So, how many of us are heading to the Penny Arcade Expo in a few short weeks?! I'll be going all 3 days this year, the last times I've gone it could only be for one of the days as hotels are so expensive around the Convention Center in downtown Seattle. I'm so excited! I might even attempt cosplaying.

For those of you who've never heard of PAX, check out their site here: www.paxsite.com/

*can't wait to check out Reach*

So, question for readers- what game would you like to see a review on? It can be new, old, sequel, or add-on. I'm not even sure where to begin!

Let me introduce myself~

Hello world,

As I'm sure you've figured out by the witty title of my blog, I'm a girl, who happens to be obsessed with video games. I've found there to be a lack of game reviews from a female perspective- that is, reviews without being slapped in the face by women's cleavage and lingerie (which I can't help but doubt are 'girl gamers', really.) I'm here to start what I wish I saw more often: actual girl gamers, who take on the video game world, clothes included. Maybe it's just me, but I don't imagine most girls to sit around in thongs while playing Halo. 

Be aware that the content I am covering is not the cutesy, light hearted, sometimes childish games that girl gamers are usually associated with. I want to break that stereotype, and show that girls are capable of running with the boys in an online FPS!

Bare with me as I attempt to start what I hope will be a somewhat successful, followed blog, even if only by a few girls (or guys!). I play mostly first person shooters, but I'll definitely play some other genres for diversity's sake, especially if there's a request by a follower. :)

Things I'll include:

-Full, detailed reviews on the latest games I'm playing
-Pictures (varied)
-Game industry news
-Q&A's
-Requests
-MAYBE, videos

Keep checking back for updates! We'll see how this goes.

p.s. this is not a place to find a gamer girlfriend!!! There are other sites for that, and this is not one of them.
