Ask The GameGirls

This week's question comes from Ling:

Hey, I actually have two questions. My first one is rather silly but I just want to know, who do you at GameGirl view as your top 3 favorite game developers? The second is more serious and I felt it best to ask the all of you. What is the big appeal about Mirror's Edge? I've seen the trailers and the E3 demo footage and I'm just not seeing the wow factor of it all. It just seems really...boring at this point in time and it confuses me how nearly everyone seems so excited about it.

Sorry we missed last week folks! So much to do so little time but we heard some good and bad announcements from E3. This weeks question is from Kevin:
Hello Ladies,
What a great year to be a gamer, am I right? Huge titles like Grand Theft Auto IV, Mario Kart Wii, and Super Smash Bros Brawl have already hit the shelves, and the year isn't even half over! With the rest of the year to look forward to, I can't wait to get my hands on the next Banjo-Kazooie title, Guitar Hero IV, Gears of War 2, and Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit.
My question is,
    which upcoming videogames are you GameGirls anticipating the most?

-Kevin

Since there were just so many games to choose from we decided that we would pick only two games each. Read on to see our choices!

This week on Ask The GameGirls we get a question that deals with something all to common in relationships: Jealousy. Our question is from AngeL (SH DarkAngeL):

I'm a 17 year old girl who happens to love playing hardcore video games (halo,gears of war) I play when I'm home but I am usually out with my friends and my boyfriend. My boyfriend knows that I like to play on XBL and although I play a lot more then him he likes to game sometimes also. He says that he trusts me but doesn't trust the guys I happen to play with. I tell him over and over I'm not planing on running off to meet any of them but the jealousy persists. You will probably tell me to spend time with him to make things better, but I see him almost everyday and he still doesn't let the video game thing go. Help?!?!?

This week we decided to answer questions from two of our readers, thats double the fun for everyone! The first question this week is brought to us by Derek: Hi, my name is Derek.

I'm 17 and my girlfriend of 2 years claims she likes to play video games, however, whenever I offer to play she would rather do something else. I don't get it. She will play old school games and she will play Spyro-esque games. We have both beat all the Spyro games(the good ones at least) and I don't know what else she would play. I want to involve her in my biggest hobby, but I don't know how. I'm friends with a lot of female gamers and they're no help cause they all play halo and other bloody games. I need help.

This week on Ask The GameGirls we get a little break from the normal "Female Gamer" questions. The question of the week is from Valentine:

I'm a 16 year old female gamer and I just cant stop playing and talking about video games, most people laugh at me and say I'm some kind of freak because all I do is play video games all day. Especially my big brothers, they keep on laughing at me cause I don't really have that many friends and don't hang out much. How do I get everyone off my back?
