Gaming Stereotypes

Today after we had played the games for a while, Monkey Ball, Mortal Kombat,Super Smash Mario Borthers,and Halo; I realized how the characters cater to stereyotypes. The guys are all muscular and mysterious, while the girls are skimpy and manly. (excluding Monkey ball..) Although in Monkey Ball the girl characters wear bows, in all the other games the girls wear skimpy outfits and/or are more likly to loose the game because their slow actions. :[ hmm. odd. but kinda predictable.Last but not leaste, Halo is very much geared towards guys in general; there are no girl characters, but aside from that it is a pretty good game. I also noticed most girls will pick a guy character because they are stronger.
