I hate 'em too, but mostly because the vast majority of them bore me. However, I'm married to a devoted gamer (who manages a GameStop, even) and both of the kids love games-- Nate more so than Abby but they both have fun with them.
I will say this, there are a lot more games out there that are more gender neutral than there were when I was a kid. Both of mine have DS Lites so if you need any advice or thoughts, I can get with Lewis and ask him stuff. FWIW, we didn't let the kids have them until they were about 10, which was late by a lot of their friend's standards, but they seem to have survived. *g*
