Cookies!!!!
As for the topic: After directing a friend of mine to the Escapist issue you posted when he made a stereotypcial comment about females and gaming, another friend mentioned something about a "girl gamer" group. I guess this is Ubi-Soft's way of appealing to female gamers.

Could be worse...
Check out Wired's article. I just loved this bit: "violence, the use of force as a primary game mechanic, is an excellent way to keep women from playing your game. Negative emotions aren't attractive to women...I play Half-Life 2, but if I get shot at, I run."
Yeah. This is my new strategy. Next time I'm in a guild battle and they attack me, I'll just flee back to the guild lord and stay there. What do you think?

Ok correct me if I am wrong but isnt this about using female characters when you are a guy. Or we are past that part of the discussion :0). BTW thank you for the cookies now if only they tasted better than that darn cheap paper taste.
Maybe I should buy photo paper.

Oh, I think it's just anything involving females and gaming, now. Playing female characters, what women like about gaming, using online games to try to meet women...
Oh wait, that last won't work. Most of the women are men...
And you didn't tell me what you thought of my new strategy!

Didn't you read the quote from the chick at Microsoft? Violence keeps women from playing the game. They run. She can't be wrong. She works for Microsoft.

Uh, Matt, it's a joke. I linked to a Wired article with this quote from Lisa Sikora, of Microsoft's Casual Games division:
"violence, the use of force as a primary game mechanic, is an excellent way to keep women from playing your game. Negative emotions aren't attractive to women. They don't like heavy, adrenaline-rich, head-to-head sports. I play Half-Life 2, but if I get shot at, I run."
Just trying to point out what an absolutely ridiculous generalization it is. If you want to appeal to more women, DON'T HAVE THEM RUNNING AROUND IN BOOTY SHORTS IN THE SNOW! GIVE THEM A DECENT WARDROBE! STUFF YOU COULD WEAR IN PUBLIC! AND HOW ABOUT SOME BRAINS? HOW ABOUT BOTH IN THE SAME GAME?
Okay, taking deep breaths. It's oooookay.
