Personally, I think that girls generally don't like video games full stop. My friends love the arcade games that I have on xbox live, but when it comes to other games, even if they enjoy it, they generally get bored quickly.  which is a shame, because I'd love to play video games with a girlfriend instead of leaving her alone whilst I play with friends...

Metroid doesn't even LOOK remotely female, until you complete and find out, OMG she is! The rest of the females I wouldn't say appeal to a female audience - their breasts are always FAR too large for that. Though Zelda is a popular one, you don't play as her. [Though Zelda is my favourite game of all time.]
Every single one of my female friends LOVE video games. I always play video games with my boyfriend, today we were playing Assassins Creed, Burnout and GTA. We play Mario Kart a lot. I think this is the problem with the game industry - there are thousands and thousands of female gamers and everyone seems to think they don't exist! The industry is a male dominated one - and a career in Game Design is what I am aiming for, so I'm preparing myself for this too. But trust me, female gamers do exist, and in masses too, and I'm a prime example of at least one of them!
