Christmas 2010 best Computer Games for Teen Girls
Teenage girls are far from the easiest people to buy for. As they are coming into their own, their likes and dislikes change faster than the songs on their MP3 players. This holiday season, instead of spending hours buying and returning presents, consider a simple computer game to buy the teen girl in your life.
Many shoppers might not associate teen girls with computer games. Typically, gaming has been seen to be more of a boys club. This is far from reality. While you may not hear them bragging about it to their friends, many teen girls do enjoy playing computer games. For a generation who spends most of their time in front of a computer screen, it's a safer bet than you think.
Now while you might be considering a computer game, chances are you don't know where to begin looking. Here are some suggestions for the teen girls in your life:
Sims 3
The Sims franchise has been a long standing hit with children and teens everywhere. The newest installment is no different. This game allows for real life simulation: going to work, maintaining friendships and relationships, and taking care of yourself. The Sims 3 brings you closer to real life than ever, and provides a great deal of amusement. If she already has The Sims 3, adding an expansion pack to her collection is also an option.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
The gamer’s counterpart to the upcoming film of the same name, Harry Potter never fails to please. Many girls are fans of the movies and books and have followed them since they were younger. The game follows a similar premise, while allowing them to get in on the action at Hogwarts. With a November 16 release date, you also won't have to worry about her having the game already.
Nora Roberts: Vision in White
This last suggestion is for the girl who loves to read. This game allows her to become the main character in the Nora Roberts novel. Throughout the game, she battles against her mysterious past in order to get her happy ending. Combining the elements of love and mystery, it's sure to be a hit for the reader in your life.
Whichever title you decide to get for the teen girl in your life, she is sure to enjoy herself. With clear ratings on the package of the game, you also don't need to be concerned about getting anything inappropriate. If you're still unsure of what game she'd like, go the safe route and get her a gift card to a Toys ‘R’ Us or gaming store near you, where all these titles can be found.
