Big Budget Triple A Games Designed For Girls

Developing a top-selling game is not an easy task. With the tightening competition amongst game developers, coming up with an interesting game platform can pose a great challenge. This is especially true when producing games especially made for girls. Compared to boys, girls are really not a fun of violent games. Most of the games developed for girls are made to be interactive, in which most allow girl players to live out their fantasies. Girl games are mostly role-playing based wherein the players can assume the role of a doctor, a cook, a bride, a damsel in distress, or anyone they want to be. Game developers who invest in producing games built for girls focus more on creating a gaming platform that will promote their interests. Most girls video games allow them to use their creativity by immersing themselves in virtual shopping (since girls are so into fashion), or dressing up a virtual bride and dictating fashion trends.

Some of the big budget triple A games played by girls include the following:

The Sims

First developed by Maxis and later produced by The Sims Studio, The Sims game franchise is distributed by Electronic Arts. It is a computer simulation game that has been hailed as the most successful and one of the top-selling video game series of all time. Sold over more than 150 million copies around the world, the Sims became the best selling computer game in the PC history. Its success even resulted to earning 5 awards from the Guinness World of Book Record, including ‘the Best Selling PC Game of All Time’ and ‘World’s Biggest Selling Simulation Series’. Due to the undeniable success of The Sims, various expansion packs were introduced thereafter. The Sims 2 and Sims 3 hit the market to conform to the new gaming platforms that came out. This triple A game is released in various platforms including iPhone/iPod Touch, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii.

Tomb Raider

This is yet another very popular Triple A video game that caught the interest of many girl players. Developed and introduced by Core Design, the popularity of the Tomb Raider game series spawned a great number of related media that even led to the production of the Hollywood movie of the same name, played by none other than Hollywood’s Lara Croft ‘Angelina Jolie’. Tomb Raider was awarded 6 Guinness World Records, which include ‘Highest Grossing Video Game Movie’, ‘Most Official Real Life Stand-in’, and the ‘Most Recognizable Video Game Character’.
