Ladies who game

What exactly is it like to be female in the male-dominated games industry? Is it an asset or an annoyance? A help or a hindrance? Brilliant or bogus? In a finely-balanced series of interviews, MTV's Massively blog attempts to crackdown on issues and attributes of several women in the US games industry who are working in and around games. Each brings a panoply of opinions to a whole slew of subjects. For example, Game Girl Advance editor Jane Pinkard chooses to use her platform to discuss gender differences, Playboy The Mansion producer Brenda Brathwaite talks about the nitty gritty of employment and Ubisoft developer Elspeth Tory introduces the subject of coping in a boys' club as a successful woman.

Interviewer Tracey John does a great job at getting to the meat of the matter and draws out the provocative perspectives of each. For more, check out all the interviews here.
