Girl gamers get their own gathering

The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Londond games festival Fringe is an all inclusive occasion which can in no way be called sexist, as the event holds the first "Grl Gmr Tournament."

That's Girl Gamers Tournament for the minority who still can't decipher text message language - a tournament open to all female gamers, held on 25th this month at London Metropolitan University.

Fiona French from the Faculty of Computing at the University said, "We would like to see more girls and women applying for our courses; this is an opportunity to promote London Metropolitan University as a vibrant and welcoming environment for young women."

This female only event will kick-off the week long games festival dedicated to all that is game and interactive entertainment focused.

The Grl Gmr Tournament will take place over half-term and was put together by staff from the BSc Computer Games and BA Game Studies, in conjunction with Gamelab London.

The girl-power challengers will battle it out over five different games - Wii Tennis, Tekken, Unreal Tournament, Kuri Kuri Mix and Mario Kart.

After the female feud has ended, five winners will be named - but only one Champion will be crowned Queen of the Consoles.
