Gaming seems to very male dominated world - I get a lot of shocked reactions when I say I have a PS2/PS3 and play GTA (I'm 26 so not that young)

So are there any other female gamers on here?

    I am sure there are of course, I know quite a few though they tend to keep their proclivities a secret. (or at least their photos lol)

    My girl friends aren't gamers, neither are my sisters - their boyfriends are though.

  • Not any more but I used to be a kick-!!! counterstrike player on the PC a few years ago. I used to play competitively in different leagues and took it all very seriously.

    Great times but something I grew out of :D

    I think girls are so rare on call of duty that if one speaks with a mic all the lads go quite or leave xD

    Last time I spoke on Call Of Duty some Geordie asked me if my dad wears a flat cap cos I'm from Yorkshire. I asked him if his dad is Cheryl Cole.

    True story!

    I don't talk on games like that it's not worth it. It gets weird and then it gets racist. So many racist emblems on there. It's so sad :/

    Anywho yep, female gamer here. I read IGN every day and I have a GTA poster on my living room wall :D (the first game, before Rockstar was even called Rockstar!)

    I have another female gamer friend. She plays PC stuff though. I play console nowadays. Her faves are Borderlands and Bioshock. My male gamer friends all love Skyrim. I like that too. But it's probably the only game every single male gamer I know has and loves. Even the casual ones! Weird.

    The girls I know who are only casual gamers all play CoD. Go figure!
