    Hold on, we all know women that enjoy violent slaughter games, but
    I'll hardly say that hold for the average woman I know. Add to this a
    general acceptance of violence in american entertainment industry as a
    whole which might again lead to a view of hollywood-type violence as
    in Quake etc as something unreal or usual (and therefore less
    violent). Is there an identification with the character? Is it YOU
    that kill? Is it SOMEONE you kill, or SOMETHING? Is there a
    difference between Europe and US?
    
    >Finally, one might note that the Barbie Fashion Designer CD-ROM has

    "Brand-games" almost always do better than they deserve, but this one
    is probably filling a hole. I'm not sure if it is a game-hole or a
    Barbie-hole. Are they getting "Barbie" because the want to play, or
    because the collect?

    Depends on the game-type. There is definitivly houses out there that
    run projects with the concept "we're going to produce the nastiest
    game ever seen, that will get us attention and market penetration".
    Then you have the tuning, testing, feedbackstuff right? There's a lot
    of bias there. Don't tell me the big houses are so unprofessional that
    they don't have profiles of their target audiences. They do, they
    even produce different versions for Europe and the US. Even different
    game music!
    
    Besides, you forget culture and norms. Even if a boy might enjoy
    Barbie if he tried... You forget cultur norms and identification.
    There is a lot of identification in computergames for kids. Heros.
    And for men. Cars. Dogfights. Wars.
