Verizon opens an On-Demand PC Games Community for women

Studies show that more and more women are getting into gaming. From young girls to their moms, there is something for everyone to enjoy in gaming. Verizon recognizes this and has created a new online community designed for female gamers – “She’s Got Verizon Games”.

“Research shows that today there are nearly as many female gamers as there are male gamers,” said Susan Retta, vice president of consumer products and services at Verizon. “Our new casual gaming portal gives women and girls a new place online to enjoy games, interact with other players, win prizes, identify themselves by games they love to play, challenge and stretch their minds, and just have a lot of fun.”

“She’s Got Verizon Games” hosts not just puzzle games or casual games, but also action PC games. Access is based on a subscription model for unlimited for $14.99 a month or a Quick Pack of 450 games for $4.99 a month.

They will also be supporting the community with game nights, game challenges (everyone loves achievements), avatars and trophy cases.

The Free Ladies Nights start on November 24 from 7 p.m. Eastern time to 7 a.m. Nov. 25. During that night, any Verizon Broadband subscriber can access and play all the games in the Verizon Games catalog for free.

I went and check out the details on the site and it seems to be a well done games portal. I do like that they have a wide variety of games and not just puzzle games (although that is a large part of it). Guys can also join the site as well, but their ad is different with mentions of action shooters and strategy sims “that men will love”.
