This week in video games has given us a few firsts – Pokémon fans rejoicing over Nintendo’s first iOS game and the line of gamers lining up for the Xbox One, the first major game console in 14 years. There’s still more goodness in this week, so get your drink and game pairing and read on.
Fine Young Capitalists – Women in Video Game Production

One day left! Leading Ladies Humble Bundle
Last week, WWAC writer Laura alerted us to the Bundle of Holding featuring games by women. Alas, the deal expires as of October 1, but there’s good news for procrastinators like me!

Tetris is getting a movie

Kabe don at Tokyo Game Show
This wasn’t exactly last week, but if you missed it, I had to share. In a twist on booth babes, at the Tokyo Game Show, Voltage, which produces romance games, gave ladies the chance to pose with wall leaning manga trope, kabe don, with attractive models. I haven’t decided whether I approve or not of the whole set-up, but a little eye candy equality never hurts.
