Neoseeker's Lydia Sung aka RabidChinaGirl has a special Special up today in light of everyone's favourite holiday invented by greeting card companies...

Consider it a retort of sorts to GG's earlier article Top Ten Games To Play With Your Valentine -- this one's got breasts and guns and explosions and stuff.

Enjoy!

Over the past week, we've seen a lot of smaller gaming sites put up cute little articles about which games to play with your beloved Valentine on February 14. As most gamers are stereotypically male, these lists are generally made with stereotypes in mind and are thus filled with Wii titles or rhythm games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and DDR.

While I have nothing against Nintendo or the games I named off, I do have an issue with the sentiment behind their use in the Valentine's Day gamer guides. Yes, why not perpetuate silly little stereotypes. They're so cute, after all! No doubt many hold that trademark mental image of a naked chick holding a DS over her crotch or licking a controller.

Yeeeeaah-... no.

Most gamer girls, if they possess an ounce of dignity, don't like being patronised for being female and enjoying video games because it's happened to the majority of us -- and we sure as hell don't like it. So if you're a clueless gamer dude who happens to be going out with a gamer chick, you may as well be asking her to shove a stylus in your eye if you listen to those other guides and plan Valentine's Day around Mario Kart or Wii Sports. Instead, how about showing her a little respect as a lover and a gamer by proposing games you wouldn't mind spending hours with?
