Game Content

In the Game Content section, can we have a citation for the claim "Although these games were, and still are, successful with male gamers, the violent and aggressive nature proved to be less appealing to women."? Seems to be based off the stereotype that men like violence and women don't. - Drake

I fixed up a few of the examples that were incorrect and cleaned up some of the phrasing/grammar. The page needs better organization on a whole, since sub categories are sometimes not related to its parent category. Some of the pictures are broken, as well. -Michael
