I personally prefer to stray into the non realistic realms of games. As in my view the most successful games are the ones with strong (not physically) lead characters that the user can either relate to or is in awe to follow. A game full of 'average joe' characters would never be as appealing as a game with unique characters that the gamer is enticed to test out. I don't know how this gone off the sexism route lol. I think games are definately stereotypical-ising characters now, ie the main male is normally a good looking fella or at least a womaniser, build like a barn, and has some cool gun moves. But again this is more appealing to play than a weedy little fella that drops his gun everytime he reaches for it. You get my drift. Need another beer after this.
