And why only male tennis players in Virtua Tennis on DC?-Producers said they went for male playters to create a powerful tennis game and there were many more male sports fans in terms of videogame sports, so they wanted them to be able to identify with the characters during a game.

Was just playing Citadel on the BBC Micro and you can choose between Male or Female.

[Rogue Trooper]

Fading Shadows (PSP) Sister use's brothers soul (trapped in an orb) to save the world, so it's she who's tasked with guiding his soul to saftey, defeating the evil etc etc, not him, so she's far from in need of rescuing herself.
