G+RLS Episode 9 - The power of FemShep and Mass Effect's legacy
This week we're talking about FemShep - aka the female iteration of Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect Trilogy. She's pretty much come up in every single episode of G+RLS so far, so clearly deserves an episode of her own.
And in light of the news of BioWare's closure, shuttering a 30-year legacy and cancelling all development on the next Mass Effect game entirely, it feels oddly and rather sadly timely.
New episode every other Friday.
The wonderful performer behind Lara Croft and The Inquisitor talks to GamesRadar+'s Serena about work, diversity and her love for the Spice Girls.

Anna Koselke, Jasmine Gould-Wilson, Catherine Lewis and Sam Loveridge discuss "female" game genres, the barriers facing women playing games outside of those accepted spaces, and how for so long it's felt like we're excluded from gaming in the way it was marketed - even down to the feeling that certain consoles weren't for women at all.
