If I met her, I would literally pimp slap her. Basically she doesn't like anything and doesn't like change.

This comment gets points for making me laugh out loud

I wasn't going to read this article, but your post made me think you were over-reacting. You weren't. She really does hate everything. I'm not entirely sure why she plays games to begin with...

calderra7172d ago

Right now, I can't play my 360 because my girlfriend is trying to get past the last level on Feeding Frenzy.

Girls don't like 360?
BS. I wish they'd stop liking it as much as they do! Heh.

My wife hate's the Shark King. But she's trying to get that 1000 Shark eating achievement. Who said achievements weren't convincing?

Its about her being a sony fanboy/girl/whatever. There is no such thing as a Girl game. People have different tastes and she won't even give xbox brand a chance. Just like any other extreme fanboy. Its just the way it is. People stick to what they are used to untill their friends and the hype builds. Then she/he will jump in on the bandwagon. Before she liked sony she liked somthing. And sony become popular and the "in" thing and she got one. But to say girls don't like FPS's or Horror games is ridiculous. there are millions of girls who are into the same games guys are into. There are guys who don't like FPS's. Whether your a girl or a guy is irrelevant.

Probably has something to do with this...

"She is one of the youngest on the staff, and a junior at Canyon Crest Academy."

The younger crowd grew up with Playstation as their first console, and tend to skew very anti-Microsoft.

Those of us that have been with this industry for decades seem to be more open with what we like...

But her article isn't just pro-Sony, it is more "Pro-I-Hate-Everything.&q uot;

she's a girl gamer and she doesn't like a lot of what Xbox 360 has to offer in gaming. who are we to say she's wrong for not liking games that mainly appeal to guys. (guns, blood, gore, killing) sure you can say that there are other games like RPG and puzzle, but 1-3 of those is not enough.

You can't resist. What games does she play. She hates so many. She stated that she had so many games for the ps2 and than said how much she dislikes every genre.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
