I can't do women
Just found a link to an article on women characters in games by Greg Kasavin. Whatever good he might have tried to say in the article was completely spoilt by his closing paragraph in which he says:
"In short, I think men are inherently incapable of doing an adequate job of properly presenting female characters in games"
I just find this incredible. That anyone could say such a thing strikes me as blinkered and without proper thought. It's like saying that men can't write romantic films. I hope that Richard Curtis doesn't take any notice.

"In short, I think men are inherently incapable of doing an adequate job of properly presenting female characters in games"Maybe the correct statement is, "There has been no male designer who has thus far done an adequate job of properly presenting female characters in games."
Anyway, Greg just made a statement that is waiting to be proven wrong.
Then I accept the challenge, good sir. :)
Yeah, that's a pretty ignorant comment that is contravened by at least the past few hundreds of years of literature. (I am not one of the "Oh, games are such an innovative new medium that all the experience we've had at entertaining each other since the stone age NO LONGER APPLIES" people, can you tell?)
