Barbie Games Are Cool Again


Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how Barbie games have gone from being something we tolerate to something we enjoy over the years? I mean as a society, not as individuals – of course there are plenty of us who loved Barbie games throughout. In the case of the society, Barbies lost a bit of their cool when Bratz games were at their peak. But then Bratz games were knocked off their throne and suddenly Barbie games were pretty cool again.

You could argue the point that Barbie games weren’t ever truly lost to the overwhelming urban nature of the Bratz games, but I think that the Bratz games did wake up the makers of Barbie games. Unfortunately, their solution was to sue the pants off the other guys, but I like that the Barbie games started to improve at the same time. Toys are always changing as they grow and develop, and Barbie seemed a bit stagnant there for a while. Now she’s looking great and we’re having a lot more fun playing Barbie games than ever before.
