I don't know about anybody else, but I felt this was stupid...

Apparently ubisoft wants 6-14 year old girls to be able to handle babys, do figure skating, become a master chef!

I honestly wonder how many people will buy this, and how many of those people will actually play it lol.

They are trying to tap a demographic that could be potentially lucrative. Are they going about it the right way? Nope. I'll give them credit for trying though.

Saw this, laughed my ass off at some of the readers suggestions. I find it funny, but Im sure someone out there will find it sexist.

I approve of this game series. More women need to learn their place.

They should make the game so that she loses HP if she doesn't serve me dinner on time. BAM!

They've been doing this for a while, with games like Hamsterz, Catz, Dogz, etc..

Its only fun until stage 9. Then you gotta beat the labor pains and urge to use painkillers. And it doesnt get better from there, your condo gets turned into a trailer, your boyfriend dumps you, and you marry your 2nd cousin for financial reasons. Then 9 levels later you repeat the process. Only this time you give birth to a biological mutant that doesnt live past the first hour outside your womb.

I hear theres a cheat you can only use before stage 3 though that will solve all that. Youve gotta find the rusty coat hangar and a garbage bag. Best get some anti-bleed damage equips though, fucker doesnt come out easy.

Theres only two levels in the male version.
1)Courting
2) The act itself

After that you can choose the dark path and ditch your partner, or be the light path and do the extra levels.

Hell Nintendogs put the DS into more young girl gamers than those games.

That just going to piss female gamers off.

I don't think what Ubisoft is doing here is all that bad. I mean, we buy our sisters and daughters baby dolls to play with. They use those to subconciously train themselves for motherhood. So why not put it into videogame format? 'imagine - babies' could very well end up being the dolls of the future. We can only wait and see.
