Girl power seems to be everywhere. From Charlie's Angels, to Jennifer Garner in Alias and the upcoming Catwoman, starring Halle Berry. But this trend of strong women isn't just happing on the big and small screen. It's happening on even a smaller screen. Dayna Devon from the entertainment news magazine show Extra s ays “We're seeing strong women. I like to call them She-roes.

We're seeing women that come into a video game and they can do just what a man can do. And what they found is, it appeals to women because it's empowering and it's a positive role model but yet, men love it too because they're watching women. And what else do men like to do but watch women. And Metroid Zero Mission, by Nintendo for Game Boy is really interesting because it's not solely based on sex. I mean, we've seen these video game heroines in the past with the big boobs, and the big lips, and little waist. And this is not what this one's about. Samus is a very mysterious, serious video game heroin.”

And believe it or not...another trend in video games...women over 40 are playing more now than before.
