What Makes Gaming Mamas Unique?

With all of the game-related blogs and websites out there, it's important to point out what makes this blog unique. So, here are examples of Gaming Mama's characteristics that speak to why this is a blog that is worth reading, browsing, and visiting time and time again.Gaming Mamas is not about sexy women. How many times have you searched for a gaming site and found images of women who are so voluptuous they make Wonder Woman look prepubescent? This blog is different from gaming sites that make women look more like toys than like people because this blog places emphasis on games rather than on women's body parts.Gaming Mamas recognizes the multiple purposes of gaming for women gamers. Some of us play because we need a break from our kids. Then there are some of us who make a habit out of gaming because studies suggest solving puzzles can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's. And there is a group of us who game just because we like it. Whatever your reason---or reasons---for gaming, Gaming Mamas values your membership in the gaming community!Gaming Mamas was started by a woman with graduate training in psychology.
