What we learned from the games we played

Today, we played four different types of games and we were able to closely analyze them. It was observed that "Mortal Combat", like most other fighting games, was very stereotypical when it came to the female characters. The females in the game tended to be extremely busty and muscular but were a lot weaker when it came to their fighting abilities compared to the male characters that were strong and masculine by their abilities and their appearances. In the game "Super Smash Brothers", there were very few female characters and the few that were included tended to be pink and very cute compared to the male characters. In "Halo", some people discovered that there were no female characters in the game and questioned that because this game seemed to be designed for males, maybe that was why there were no female characters. As for the last game, "Monkey Ball", there really were no differences in abilities when it came to the different sexes. The only way to truly if the characters were male or female was by looking at the heads of the monkeys to find a small bow which were located only on the female characters' heads.
