I dont think it's that females don't like video games, I think it's more there's not enough games that appeal to them. But there are some and I think they are becoming more and more common now days. My sister likes video games such as Final Fantasy, Halo, Bioshock, Tekken and games like that, and I have a friend who plays Halo, but I know not everyone is into those kind of games. The Sims is very popular with females, I know a lot of girls who like that game. My cousin and her mother both like playing Mario Kart games. So I think females are less inclined to play violent games, and more inclined to play less serious, fun games.
I think games appeal to anyone. They've just gotto find the right kind of game. I'm not so much talking about just females here, but for instance, not everyone of my friends is into gaming all that much (alot of them are though) but nearly everyone of them owns a DS and will join in for a game of Mario Kart.
Games that I think will appeal to females are games such as or similar to:
-Pokemon
-The Sims, Harvest Moon
-WoW, Guild Wars, and other MMOs
-Party Games such as: Buzz, Singstar, Guitar Hero and Rayman Raving Rabbids. I know a woman who's in her late 20s plays RRR with her Husband. She seemed real excited about the release of RRR2.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on females and video games.
