				This week's Famitsu has an interview with Hideo Kojima and <i>Metal Gear Solid Touch</i> producer Yasuyo Watanabe. The headline for the story is very careful to accentuate that Watanabe is female. <i>How</i> careful, you ask?				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5113995/warning-producer-of-metal-gear-solid-touch-is-female" title="Click here to read more about Warning: Producer of Metal Gear Solid touch *is* Female">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

Charts, graphs, statistics, I love them all. It's how I learn who I am in the gaming world and that person is, apparently,  a pathetic little lamb who wants to play Bejeweled on my mobile phone while watching reruns of Allie McBeal in my cold, lonely bed with my four cats. Yeah! Perfectly described. 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/252533/women-getting-pigeoned-holed-in-gaming-world-+-again" title="Click here to read more about Women Getting Pigeoned Holed in Gaming World - AGAIN">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

Earlier in the week I posted <a href="http://kotaku.com/gaming/marketing/marketing-to-gamers-harder-than-marketing-to-old-people-248864.php">this article</a> that predicted that marketing in gaming wasn't going to be as competitive as traditional methods. Although in-game marketing will remain a slow-growth trend, there is  one thing marketers want to focus on that makes my skin crawl - marketing specifically to female adult players. The reasoning? Apparently, we hold the" majority of decision making buying power in the US", which either means we make more money than our counterparts or have no problem spending the money of our counterparts. I honestly don't mind doing both, but unless they're talking about getting some of John Galliano's fall collection for Dior to the Able Sisters, I don't see any cross promotion fever heading my way. <span class="byline">Kim Phu</span>				<a href="http://kotaku.com/249895/games-not-made-for-girls-but-the-marketing-is" title="Click here to read more about Games Not Made for Girls But the Marketing Is">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
