Sex and the City 2: Gaming with the Girls!

Hey girlfriends! Put down that cosmo and pick up your controller! You know what today is, right? It's the day Sex and the City 2 hits theaters! OMG, CarrieSamanthaCharlotteMiranda Squeeeeee! After you get your other ladies together and see this movie at least twice, kick off your Mahnolos and dive into these games that are tailor made for those of us who have two X chromosomes. I know, right now you're thinking "Just a minute. There are games out there for me besides Bejeweled?" Yes! They'll have your estrogen pumping and your girl power rocking! Leave Call of Duty and Red Dead Redemption to the boys. We promise you won't chip a nail on one of these!

Sex and the City 2: Gaming with the Girls! Imagine Fashion Designer New York

Imagine Fashion Designer: New York: What's your dream job? Wait, let me rephrase that. What's your dream job besides being Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte or Miranda? Why, being a fashion designer, of course! That is if you can tear yourself away from the Style Network long enough to get any work done. Thankfully, you have Imagine Fashion Designer: New York to guide your way. In fact, you can take this Nintendo DS game with you on the go while you get a mani/pedi or spend some downtime at the spa. Or even the dressing room! This game is all about changing your style and managing your fashion, so it would be right at home with you in front of the mirror while you try on some flirty new party dresses. And if you're already in New York, you already have a leg up on imagining yourself to a world of glamour!

 Sex and the City 2: Gaming with the Girls! Let's Play Flight Attendant

Let's Play Flight Attendant: But let's say you couldn't have your own rocking clothing store. Or maybe you just want a change of scenery? Everyone knows that flight attendants have the most fun! Next to blondes, of course! This game teaches you all of the skills you'll need to fly the stylish skies as you work your way up from the ground crew, all the way to being a full-fledged flight attendant! You'll learn how to check tickets, fill overhead compartments with luggage, prepare in-flight meals, and handle angry customers! Of course, you'll be doing all of this while looking fabulous. So the next time a snarky beyotch tries to put you in your place while you're jet-setting, you can let her know that you'll soon have her job!

'Daisy Fuentes Pilates'

Daisy Fuentes Pilates: Games shouldn't just be about looking good and getting ahead in life, they need to make you feel good too! Sometimes purging that piece of lettuce you had for lunch isn't enough, and you need to work of the calories so you can fit into that dress and hit the clubs. But have you seen the state of most gyms lately? Ew! They are smelly, sweaty, and just plain yucky. Instead of working out with strangers, ditch the gym and head home! Daisy Fuentes will guide you through your own series of workouts, and you won't have to wipe any perspiration off anything to use it! And have you seen the workout wear they sport in this game? Ka-yoot! Bring the girls over, let Daisy put you through the paces, and celebrate with a hard-earned glass of cucumber water. It's low calorie! Just don't eat the cucumber slices. You'll pay for them later.

Just Dance Talent Contest Video Featuring Robin Antin »


Just Dance: There's no arguing that both life, and math, are hard. You missed the big sale at Bergdorf's, the rain flattened your curls, and he still hasn't returned your text message. Sometimes the world just seems like it's out to get you. You know what you do during those hard times? Just Dance. That's it. Lady Gaga had it right. Who cares if you've lost your phone, your shirt's on inside out, and you don't have a clue where you are. That drink the dude at the bar keeps offering you? Chugsville! Kick up your heels and get down! You'll feel your troubles melt away along with the rest of your brain cells while you dance it off. Extra points for fending off the flailing gesticulations of the awkward guys who approach you.

 Sex and the City 2: Gaming with the Girls! Wedding Dash

Wedding Dash: So you own your own boutique, and you're a part-time flight attendant on the side. You're a pro at working out, and you can dance your pants off. Where do you go from here? Nowhere but up! As we all know, the pinnacle of achievementdom for a woman is marriage. But if you're not altar-bound, what's a poor gal to do? Be a wedding planner! Wedding Dash lets you step into the shoes of a busy wedding planner. You think it's easy arranging everything? You have to think about the food, the cake, the flowers, and the honeymoon destination! Add guests and a photographer to that mix, and you have a recipe for disaster. No wonder some girls turn into bridezillas! Your job is to stop that from happening, at all costs. Plus, you can think of it as practice for planning your own nuptials.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and make your inner gamer fabulous!

NOTE: This post was actually written by a testosterone laden male, hopped up on multiple nights of very long Red Dead Redemption sessions. All you girls who are gamers out there, I'm hoping (and praying, in case I meet you in an online match) that you realize this post is all in jest. Yes, games aimed directly at girls, and girls only, tend to be somewhat ridiculous. But, there can be the occasional gem. Like Style Savvy, which our very own Abbie Heppe happened to love. Which is probably why she's the most fashionably dressed member of our entire staff.

    I tried playing the wedding planner one...I could only make it through the first five minutes pretending that the cast was entirely devoid of humanity and were zombies intent on eating my brains if I didn't do a good job.

    When there wasn't an option to slaughter the wedding party my disappointment reared it's ugly head. I've been playing far too much Left 4 Dead.

    This article made me feel masculine- kudos. :D

    As a female gamer, I feel quite insulted. Where the hell is my Mass Effect, HALO, Portal, Half-Life... etc? You know, actual games for actual gaming.

    Regardless of whether or not this article was written in jest, we all realize that there is at least a little kernel of how you feel in every saracasm laden word of this article. I am a fan of SATC. I have seen every episode and I love both Manolos and Louis Vuitton.
    I also happen to be an avid WoW player with a fully geared level 80. I play both Resident Evil and Call of Duty and enjoy them completely.

    Just because I like one does not mean that I can't like the other and the fact that you didn't even entertain that thought before you wrote that just proves that you've never come in contact with a woman who has any sort of real personality and can have a little, oh, I don't know, variability. We are not just walking stereotypes and Carrie Bradshaw is not our archetype.

    Grow a pair and talk to a woman, will you and spare all of us gaming, thinking, fashion-loving intelligent women another article like this.

    [quote="Sovs"] I think Kevin is trying to show the games that seemed to be aimed at orange girls who carry Chihuahuas in pink purses, NOT females in general[/quote]

    [quote="Kevin"] kick off your Mahnolos and dive into these games that are tailor made for those of us who have two X chromosomes[/quote]

    While most gamers of whatever gender, will get the sarcasm in the article... the general public prolly will not. I can see how this article is offensive to both those who cannot see the sarcasm and those that actually enjoy any of the games on this list. If Kevin meant the article to be aimed at a particular stereotype of girl, he should have stated so, not depended on his readers to speak for him, making assumptions at that.

    As a girl gamer, I would think this a gamer-centric website such as this, wouldn't publish content that is as potentially offensive as this article is. Or maybe you're all just 1337 and don't care what your readers think or you truly don't realize how big the girl gamer population is.

    Dude you u just insulted like 40% of the gmaing communtiy with this article-Men with their girlfriends by their side just put you on their lists -And I don't mean shopping lists either. Now the honew do lists up the ante thanks to this insulting pile.

You sir have failed on a royal scale Congratulations.

    Women who read G4TV.com are clearly not the ones this article is referring to. This is a 'link to your non-gaming girlfriend' piece.

    As a grown woman who loves both pretty clothes AND to play Red Dead Redemption for six hours straight (and definitely spends more on games than shoes), I "LOL'd" at this article. This actually genuinely amused me and I can't imagine anyone taking it seriously, though clearly people did.

    It's mostly sad because...these things he's listed ARE a lot of the things that a good amount of women I know who don't game beyond Popcap would see in these things. They just never understand how awful the games are, and that's why they are still playing stuff like Farmville for god knows why.

    Finally at least some teensy amount of attention to games that are targetted towards women! I am a husband of a wonderful wife and getting her games that match her preferences is near impossible. Any sort of discussion around this horridly under marketed segment is great - even if the written portion of the article wasn't funny at all (was it really someone's attempt at humor?). Anything to get my wife off the incredibly lame Facebook "games" to something which actually requires intelligence, strategizing, or creativity is deeply needed.

    No all girls are girly girls...where's my Gears of War? Halo? Boarderlands? Assassins Creed? Prince of Persia? Portal? I could go on and on...just wanted to let you all know, we all aren't Princesses!!!

    I think some people are missing the point of this article. Kevin seems to be pointing out and poking fun at the stereotype that the game industry see's in girl gamers. This jest is more towards how the industry just doesn't get girls.

    Dude, this was not a good "jest". You have girl gamers who watch your shows and read your articles like I do. I also do not watch Sex and the City. And sure I may like some stereotypical girly games. But I also like ALL THE OTHER ONES TOO! Just Dance is also a fun party game (especially when you are drunk) and not just for girls. Girl gamers don't get a lot of respect nor do we get a lot of things catered to us, especially on G4. So this kind of saddens me. Sometimes we just want acknowledgement that we are skilled and legitimate gamers. Despite us being women.

    um saying that the girls posting on here are furthering the stereotype is bull sh@#. any article that dudes dont agree on post comments saying they dont agree right?? well these girls and me also dont agree. i wouldnt spend a dime on even 1 of those games. My 7 year old cousin would even find those games retarded. and F@#% you dude on your "stupid women" comment.
    oh i c only men can comment about things they dont agree on, ladies we arent allowed.

    All these girls bitching about this article being offensive to them are really just furthering the stereotype of females being weak and overly sensitive, which is obviously just a negative stereotype. So please just calm down, I highly doubt this article is trying to prejudge every woman on the planet as some sort of annoying girly-girl or what ever, seeing how it is most obviously satire! stupid women...
