Rachel Adelson addresses the split between software games
focusing on boys and those targeted at girls. Both
types of software often enforce the typical stereotypes:
boys play with weapons, and girls play with make-up.
Adelson points out that games aimed at both girls and
boys--with emotional involvement and intellect--are
some of the best software games available.
