10 Minute gaming PlayDate

Posted by on Mar 25, 2010 in games, gaming, news | 6 comments

I know it’s been a while since I last posted here (sorry) but, this blog post got my attention and I had to share it. A new site has launched allowing girls to sign up for gaming sessions with guys. Sounds fair enough at first, even an idea I’d thought of for GirlGamers but, GameCrush, requires the guys to buy credits to game with you. Each session, or as GameCrush call it a “PlayDate”, lasts for 10 minutes and costs 400 credits, with an option of tipping 100 credits at the end. For 500 points/10 minute session plus tip, will cost ‘players’ $8.25. The money doesn’t all go to the site, with 60% going to the girls.  Read more

Attention girl gamers in the London area!

I’ve found an interesting gaming event for female gamers.

As part of the annual ‘London Games Fringe’, a week long gaming event, the London Metropolitan University is hosting a day exclusively aimed at girl gamers to kick start the event.

During the day, there will be 5 different games to play; Wii Tennis, Tekken, Unreal Tournament, Kuri Kuri Mix and Mario Kart.

There will be five winners at the end of the tournament for each game, but there will only be ONE overall champion.

This is the first girl gaming tournament in London, as part of the London Games Fringe.  Read more
