What I mean is, a lot of the Asian marketing for games I have seen projects very "cutesy," almost child-like images of girl heroes...
Admittedly, given my gender, I am not really in a position to comment on how attractive this might be to the male gamer...... but "sex appeal," is not a phrase that comes to my mind.
And if it does attract male gamers on that level.. Then... *shudder* But that is a whole different discussion.
I entirely agree, though, with regard to Lara Craft and her clones.
I also know numerous male gamers who will play female characters, especially in online games, because of the onscreen visual appeal.
