Nikki, the editor-in-chief of GrrlGamer, has been reviewing games, providing demos, and generally providing recommendations on the gaming universe since early 1998, while also producing the RiotGrrl Web site and newsletter. She readily admits this site is not as ambitious a gaming site as GameSpot, Adrenalin Vault or PC GameWorld, but she and a few dedicated gamers try to keep the quality of what they can produce as high. And they clearly know and love their games. She welcomes other grrls to also make contributions to GrrlGamer.

Here's a sampling from the archives:

"The Pros & Cons of Starcraft part two
"by Enid Burns

"One of the original (and highly popular) real-time strategy games was Blizzard's Warcraft II, a game where humans and orcs battled for control of a mythical land. Blizzard has taken their proven RTS engine, one that gamers admit to be second only to C&C, and revised and applied it to the stellar setting of Starcraft.

I found most of the writing here clear, straightforward, with a slightly quirky sense of humor. The best part is that it's produced by girls who know their gaming, know how to kick butt, and can write intelligent reviews of the new games as they are released.

According to the "About" note I read from Nikki when I was there, the newsletter comes out every Wednesday. The archives includes editions mostly from 1998, but I suspect this is because they haven't had time to update the Web site archives. From what I saw you can get the idea if you want to subscribe from the online archives.

I liked the Web site a lot, and think you will, too. Start there and check it out.
