Hi Everyone =)
I only play online games only as a woman with female characters.
Here are the games I currently play and why:
EVE Online -
http://www.eve-online.com/ - Science Fiction MMORPG - Tough game to learn with many very detailed aspects. I've been playing now for almost 3 years and am still learning. I love the theme and storyline. I grew up reading Lary Niven and Poul Anderson and other SF writers of that generation.
EQ2 -
http://eq2players.station.sony.com/ - Fantasy MMORPG - Easy to learn and play with a better storyline and prettier characters than World of Warcraft. I love the female wood elves.

Games I have played in the past:
WoW - Too boring and repetitive. The only female characters I liked the look of were the Gnomes. I have a 40th char that is a cute little gnome with green ponytails. Sorry Melissa.

City of Heroes - Too boring and repetitive. Yuk.
Auto Assault - Interesting concept if you like the Mel Gibson "Road Warrior" theme.
I've played others but those are the high points.
These represent my personal favorites and those of my son who loves all of the games I listed, even the ones I don't.
I also own a Sony PSP for commuting on the bus. It's a very nice toy but spendy. It plays music, movies, very good games, surfs the internet and other activities to keep an active mind interested on long commutes.
Take care Everyone!
*hugs*
