There's More to Video Gaming Than Bullets and Blood, Says GameZnFlix CEO
John Fleming, CEO of GameZnFlix, Inc. (OTCBB: GMFX), an online provider of video games and movies for rent or purchase,
said today that video gamers can't be stereotyped.
"Ask someone to picture a typical video game player," says Mr. Fleming,
"And they'll imagine an 18-to-24-year-old male living on pizza and swilling
Mountain Dew while shooting all manner of imaginary enemies in games such
as 'Doom,' 'Halo,' 'Grand Theft Auto,' 'Street Fighter' and the like. The
reality is, there's a lot more to video games than bullets and blood."
"Take the 'Final Fantasy' series as an example," says Mr. Fleming. "These
games seem to be as popular with females as with the guys, yet two of that
series have made GameFAQ's 'The 10 Best Games Ever.' And a majority of the
popular Nintendo Wii titles seem to be enjoying success with all ages, yet
have nothing in common with the shoot-em-ups."
Non-violent games such as "Guitar Hero," "Dance Revolution," and "Super
Mario" remain top sellers according to industry sources. According to its
publisher, the best selling game of all time, the life simulation game "The
Sims" by Electronic Arts, is played by a predominately female audience.
"The other day," continued Mr. Fleming, "I was looking at one of the games
we carry called 'Cooking Mama Cook Off.' It's kind of a cross between
'Super Mario' and TV's 'Iron Chef' with a bit of 'Speed Racer' graphics
thrown in. You actually improve your culinary skills by creating meals from
10 different cuisines in order to score points. It's the furthest thing
from violent video gaming, unless of course, you count the chopping of the
vegetables."
