I wonder about the sex split of these video games--boys shoot things, girls
adapt to an environment.  What's wrong, can boys only handle shooting? :-)
I wonder: are boys reluctant to play as "Jennie"?  Could video game appeal be
slightly improved by being able to toggle sex, so instead of a leather
loinclothed warrior we could have a leather skirted warrior, and also a choice
of "Jennie" or "Jimmy" (I guess "Claire" is ambiguous?)?  Also, could girls have
a chance to rescue a helpless boy?
