Speaking of main characters, there's one particular original game that might appeal both sexes, because the main character is... YOU.
It's called LifeLine, and it's coming out for PS2 only later this year.
The story of the game is that there was a major catastrophe on a space station, and you get locked up in the monitor room. Looking through the monitors you see a woman who also survived the catastrophe. You have to use a (real) microphone to give orders to her, and tell her what to do, because technically, you don't control her, you just give her orders by talking to her. Stuff like "open the door" or "pick up the gun" or "take a shower" (although she refuses to take a shower :P), while you look through surveillance cameras.
It's quite amazing really, and if Konami could pull it off aswell, this could be a great game. The first game that is played with a microphone only.
Anyway, I'm losing my point. There should be more games like this.
