After seeing the live PlayStation 4 reveal, I was under-whelmed. Why?

Gamer Girl Rant – Dragon’s Call WTF?

I love MMOs. I love the action, the classes, raiding, a little pvp, questing, all of it.  But I had to take a pause when I checked out the classes for Dragon’s Call II.

Gamer Girl Rant – G4 Marks the End of AOTS and X-Play

Say it ain’t so!

If you’re like me, you’ve watched the G4 channel over the years. You’ve probably laughed at the antics of Kevin Pereira, agreed with the reviews of Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, and counted down the days until their E3 and Comicon coverage. This year marks the end of almost a decade of gaming related greatness. *tear*

Gamer Girl Rant – Aisha Tyler

If you watched the E3 footage, then you probably saw Aisha Tyler as a hostess.  It’s pretty common knowledge that she’s a gamer, a good one.  So why are the trolls emerging in force to call her out?

Diablo 3 was released on the fifteenth and six hours later, screenshots appeared online with a final boss kill.  An hour later, more screenshots.  Seriously???

Gamer Girl Rant – Non-Completists

I lied, I just stopped playing!

Gamer Girl Rant – Must Play Titles for Gamers

I was playing SWTOR with a group of guildies when I brought up Dragon Age.  Everyone in the group had played the game, or at least heard of it except for one person who promptly declared, “I don’t play ‘nerd’ games.”  *blink blink*  You do realize that you are in Star Wars right now?

Gamer Girl Rant – Fanboy Mentality

Fanboys.  Anyone who’s ever been to any forum knows what they are, but why are they so angry?

Gamer Girl Rant – Gears of War 3 – SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT!!!  I’ve have a few things to say about this game and this isn’t a review.  Again, if you don’t want to know about critical plot points, please don’t read this rant.  I warned you…

The Supreme Court has finally ruled on the constitutionality of the California law (Brown v. EMA) that would have banned the sale of violent video games to minors.  So what exactly does this mean?

Why are the people who want to cyber always so bad at it?

Gamer Girl Rant – I Need To Clone Myself!

I’ve been going over the upcoming titles for the year and reviewing the E3 footage this week.  It is painfully obvious that I am going to need clones.  Lots and lots of clones.

Gamer Girl Rant – Who was your first “real” boss?

I was chatting on Twitter with a fellow gamer and we started discussing the subject of our first “real” boss fights.  That got me to thinking; which bosses gave me grief and why?  I know that you guys can add to this list, but here are a few of mine!

Gamer Girl Rant – To Be Or Not To Be the Female Lead, That Is the Question

By now, we can all agree that there are millions of women playing video games.  With that in mind, why are there still games that are released without the option to play as a female lead character?

Gamer Girl Rant

Hi Fellas!  As much as we love you, there are some things that I would like to be enlightened on.  I know what you’re thinking, and you’re probably right and wrong, but hear me out and then let’s talk!
