Nice set of Nancy Drew reviews. Guess I'll have to buy you a Nancy Drew costume for Halloween this year, LOL. ;)

I did use to read the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novels when I was younger. It's great to see a series of games aimed at women that don't depict them as "Rambo with breasts."

Graphical Adventure Games (GAGs) in general respect women than most other genres; RPGs tend to as well (especially the Japanese ones, but that is a different topic for a different time). Look at Sophia Hapgood from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a tough Indiana Jones girl reminiscent of the girl from Raiders of the Lost Ark. King's Quest IV was one of the earlier games to let players play as a woman. Despite what some recent articles I've read have implied, "girl gamers" like more than just puzzle games and The Sims; they also tend to like GAGs and RPGs for the stories and the characters.
