“Female Gamers” Vs. “Gamer Girls” Which One Are You?
We treat them like a rare species, but really, women who game are not that uncommon. Recent polls have put the figure between 35 and 40 percent of women, a minority but not a scarcity. Negative Gamer’s Chelsea — aka Nintendoll — spotted something elsewhere that set her teeth on edge, and she wants to set the record straight about the reasons women and girls game. Because in her view the experience risks getting cliquey and catty, like high school.
XBOX 360 Plus Guitar Hero III Holiday Bundle
Don’t think Microsoft are letting up on the 360 bundles this Christmas. They’re just getting started. The latest official pack-in deal - exclusive to Sam’s Club - is not only the biggest bundle deal we’ve ever seen, but potentially also the best value. For $349 you get a 60GB Pro console, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and Guitar Hero III. Available at Sams Club.
Rumor: New Nintendo DS Coming This Year, Said To Have Camera And Music
According to a report from Nikkei Net, Nintendo will introduce a new iteration of this Nintendo DS later this year, featuring a built-in camera and music playback. The new version of the DS is also reported to have improved wireless functions.

Star Trek Online
I’ve played a number of Star Trek games over the years, can’t say any of them really made me yearn to play for hours on end. The graphics look pretty sweet though, but I’m going to be skeptical and say I’ll have to wait for a bit more before deciding to devote a small lifetime to the game. Here’s to it meeting fan expectations.
Marvel at this 100% in-engine footage and boldly go where no one has gone before.
SX02 Combat Flight Simulator
The SX02 Flight Simulator sports a centrally mounted HOTAS Joystick, a tension adjustable hand throttle with digital programmable readout, Saitek adjustable flight pedals, a trackball for the PC and a Logitech backlit keyboard. For the low-low price of $9,500 this flight simulator will immerse you like never before in your favorite flying game.

Gunnar Optiks Gaming Glasses
Don’t your eyes get tired from the strain of sitting in from the XBOX or PS3 all night (or all day if you’re either lucky enough or lazy enough to not have a job)?

Halo Wars
Here’s a new trailer for the Halo Wars strategy game set in the Halo universe. Graphic look pretty good I’m still just not sold on the whole concept. But hey, it’s Halo, gotta have it.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Trailer
As far as Star Wars games go I’m not a huge fan but Star Wars: The Force Unleashed looks to be particularly bad ass so I’m probably going to have to get a copy when the force is unleashed on September 16th.
LEGO Batman Gameplay Trailer
Set to release in September the latest LEGO themed video game features the caped crusader teaming up with Robin to fight off the entire Rogue’s Gallery of evil doers. LEGO Batman does add a new twist as far as LEGO games go that allows the player to switch to Villan Mode and cause insane amounts of chaos instead of protecting the citizens of Gotham City.
