When playing games, I can only suspend my belief so far. And to be frank, female lead characters cross the line. I'm not saying this is always the case. Cooking Mama is a prime example. It showed the gaming community that female characters are possible but also that they must know their role within the game itself. Would that game have worked with a male lead character? I'm not sure. In these times, with so many people supporting men in their feminine pursuits, it might work. But only if we can be mature about these things. Long gone are the simpler times of Sonic and Mario. Gaming is now serious business and we owe it to ourselves to think about these deep philosophical issues. I know I am.
