My wife likes playing video games, but prefers to play female characters; however, she wants to play games that are centered AROUND the female character, like Tomb Raider or Tenchu perhaps. That is to say, she wouldn’t play WoW because you can choose male or female, or rather more specifically because choosing a female has no impact on the plot.
Any suggestions? I’m not having much luck googling.
Mirror’s Edge.
Heavenly Sword
The tomb raider series..

My son is away at college but for several years, before he left, played computer games for countless hours at a time.
He has canceled several classes and it fits a pattern. He plays Computer games all night and can’t get up for AM classes..
Yes it is possible. (It’s also possible to be addicted to yahoo answers <g>) In principle, it is possible to be addicted to anything.
If he himself wants to change, he can approach the student counseling service. This is one of the behaviours that counseling (aka psychotherapy) can help with. There is likely to be an underlying discontent from which computer games is his attempt to escape.
But mom or dad wanting son to be different from who he is…… sorry, luv….. that has been around since Adam and Eve had a problem with a delinquent son called Cain. The more you are able to love him as he is (without pretending to approve his behavior), the better your prospects of his choosing the change that you would like to see.
If you are willing, you can pray passionately for him, too …. more has been accomplished by the power of prayer than is known to have been. (Prayer to be effective needs to be persistent, frequent, deep, heart-felt, genuine, and earnest.)
And I would encourage you not to despair of him, whatever happens. For example, sometimes people learn from experience. If he drops out this year, he may learn from the consequences and go back to college later in life when he is more emotionally ready. Or he may find his way to happiness without a degree.

Since the launch of Warcraft in 2004, it has become a household name. Kids and adults both love the game so much and as of today there are millions of registered warcraft player. Why is it so popular? Warcraft is a game with a combination of all aspects such as game play and graphics all in one. If you look at the game itself, the superb graphics, wonderful characters with monsters and quests to complete, there is no doubt that this game is indeed interesting while time consuming.
Nevertheless, people are excited to play the games seeing that it has become so phenomenal around the world. Hardly anyone that doesn’t know the name Warcraft and as such, Blizzard has been making billions from the game itself through expansions, fees and other memorabilia. As for others, some professional players venture into writing guides for newbies and earn from the sales of e-guides.
So, who plays Warcraft? Anyone can play Warcraft. Teenagers are crazy about the game but adults are just the same. Expansion is making the game even better and there are two expansions for Warcraft. The first is known as The Burning Crusade and the second one was released in November 2008, known as The Wrath of The Lich King. It take years to complete the expansions before they go on sale but the results are amazing. Millions have sold and more profits for Blizzard.
Of course, the players get to play in new regions with new character and higher leveling cap. These are the things players look forward to in new expansions and I believe there are more expansions making their way to the market. Even celebrity plays the game. For example, Macaulay Culkin from the Home Alone fame and Verne Troyer from the Mini Me fame.
So, you can see how influential Warcraft can be in the world. Everyone plays Warcraft equally in the Warcraft world and it just add in more fun for everyone. Perhaps your friend in the game is a celebrity somewhere in the world, who knows?

Rockstar Games once again invites players to “explore their inner criminal” with this release of Grand Theft Auto III for the PlayStation 2 console. This violent, mission-based driving game has the player resuming the role of a cold-hearted street thug making his way up the ladder of underworld gangs and organized crime. With over 50 different types of vehicles on the busy city streets, sports cars to SUVs, taxi cabs to 18-wheelers, and even ambulances and cop cars all there for the taking, a wide variety of outlaw adventures awaits.
The setting of Liberty City is made up of three districts and in all, Grand Theft Auto III offers 72 different missions, many of which can be played in any order. As the player’s character completes jobs available in one part of the city, other areas and assignments open up to him. Along with this purposeful design of a non-lineal story line, many other features popular in earlier versions of the game return in this release as well, including a diverse variety of deadly weapons, busy streets full of self-involved pedestrians, and eight different radio station soundtracks to listen to while inside the vehicles. ~ T.J.
