Women certainly have it rough in video games.

While there are some exceptions to the rule, most notably here, the majority of women in games are represented by images such as this, this, and this.

With these negative images in mind, the concept behind Sony’s new PSN game “Fat Princess” sounds refreshing; rather than watch a disproportionatly structured woman galavant around the screen, you can watch a woman get fat.

However, though I may think that the concept is creative, others disagree, according to this article on Joystiq.com.

While I can sort of see their point; it kind of makes me wonder just how women should be portrayed in games…after all, it is obvious that if the game were called “fat prince,” no one would care otherwise.
