In this day and age, it would seem that the boundaries of traditional gender roles are blurring, even with regard to electronic gaming. Forbes, for example, has recently picked up on what appears to be a surge of female interest in the casual game market.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to turn to the full article after the jump for more on gender-related gaming.

Atari just received a warning from NASDAQ stating it may be delisted for low stock market value. Even after patching things up with FUNimation, it seems the video game company is in the red once more. Find the details at the full article.

Heads up everyone, as a dark and unholy alliance has been forged between Sega Sammy and Sanrio, as announced on Forbes this Christmas day.

In any case, we are still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that Sammy, who is known for the versus game series Guilty Gear, and Sanrio who has spawned the evil that is Hello Kitty, will be teaming up content-wise. According to the report, the companies will be sitting down to "discuss jointly developing new products based on their stable of characters, as well as examining new joint services and online businesses, among others".

Uh-oh. Does this mean that the next Guilty Gear installment will have Bridget walking around with a Kero Keroppi plush toy while Eddie turns... gulp... pink?

As was previously mentioned in QJ's exclusive sneak preview on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, there are a lot of missions for you to accomplish in this game, using multiple forms of transport. An example of such missions is when the Vance brothers find out that they are being double crossed by their business associate, Brian Forbes.

The mission goes that, upon finding out about Forbes, Lance decides to kidnap him to wring information out of him, while Vance watches over the transaction going down from afar. However, the table gets turned on Lance and he's the one who gets captured. He is then taken away by a speedboat and you chase him with a sports car that's parked nearby. Here's the multiple forms of transport part fits in, from the car you then continue your chase using a moored tanker. Inside the speed boat, you'd have to defeat all the enemies and rescue Lance before making an escape with one last stunt-jump using a motorbike. What a story isn't it? Only in GTA: Vice City Stories. Only in GTA.

Music can also tell a story. That's why Rockstar's Custom Tracks will be staging a comeback in Vice City Stories. Unleash the 80's child in you and put in some David Bowie, The Cure and Duran Duran to complete the experience.
