Playing females

They look like the writer has a thesis nicked whole from the most recent book on gernder, identity and representation and then applied to the nearest computergame featuring a female heroine - and this frequently turns out to be Lara Croft. Jane at GameGirl Advance writes about Genderplay from the strength of her rich gaming experience.
