Mmm, I agree 50%.

I avoid those games, but I don't tell people to do so. You want to know why I avoid those games? Check that out, you'll see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COt0yvziSuc&feature=related

How can a strong, silent, non-sexualized woman can be a stereotype? It's as rare as a 6 legged pig. And about the males atributes, I totally disagree, but I don't want to argue about that.

"Those" games? Do you mean the God of War ilk?

As for stereotyped gender roles, I'd say they're more common than you think (though characters need not be popular to be stereotyped). Rippley (Alien) is an exellent example of a female protagonist, but she helped pave the way for a kind shallow female warrior (that is just as trite and uninspiring as the male counterpart) that we still see today. If there is nothing 'female' about a character, what's the point of having her be female in the first place?

If you want a guy in place of Ripley(Alien) explain me how do you will make him the "Mother of ALL alien"?
