The Reboot: Women and Video Games
10:02 | 
Women used to be an afterthought in the video game world. Today, more women are involved in the billion-dollar industry as programmers, designers and of course, gamers. According to the Entertainment Software Association, thirty-eight percent of all game players are women. In fact, women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the gaming population (31 percent) than boys age 17 or younger (20 percent). In this episode of The Reboot, host Rio Pesino interviews the Frag Dolls, Sheri Graner Ray of Women in Games International and others in the gaming industry about the rise of women gamers. Also on The Reboot, Master Chief is back to finish the fight on Halo 3, Playstation Portable sales are on the rise in Japan and a 12-year-old gamer gets his company $6.5 million in funding.

I LOVE CHICKS WITH JOYSTICKS! Calm down juvenilles, I’m just merely saying that there are some women out there that can actually throw down. Well done, Rio.

Great show, well-balanced reporting. Hope to see further evidence of women in gaming, as interview subjects in “regular” gaming stories, in upcoming Reboot episodes. What’s the role of women in scripting, designing, programming, creating games?
Keep up the great work. Your show has style!
