Appendix C - Gender Imbalance in Gaming

There have been multiple studies that relate to the topic, Gender Imbalance in Gaming, and there is quite a lot of information generated from these studies. I do believe that gaming is dominated by the Male gender however, there is definitely a rise in females gamer's are especially in the genres of Puzzle and Adventure Games.

I think that women play the puzzle genre mainly because they enjoy the more metal challenging games compared to the more action based shooting games. I also think that Adventure games appeal more to the female audience as most adventure games allow for character customisation meaning they can create a female character if they wish to do so.

This is effective as it may make the game a more immersive experience for the females instead of having solely male protagonists throughout most games.
