Last Friday Spectra, Fidget and I hosted a Frag Doll Friday on Ubisoft newest arcade game: Cellfactor: Psychokinetic Wars. Like most things in my life, I waited until the last minute (about 10 minutes before FDF started) to download the game. Upon downloading I realized I knew nothing about this game. I didn’t even know the genre. At that moment, I was happy to remember that Spectra had spent a few hours practicing it; ‘at least one of the Frag Dolls would know what they were doing’, I thought. After downloading, I joined Spectra server and immediately got thrown into her current game. To my surprise, Cellfactor was a multiplayer first-person-shooter. Sweet! I didn’t have to worry about doing poorly now. The game was very easy to pick up, but most importantly FUN! Within the first 30seconds of joining, I knew I loved this game. So this got me thinking, we should totally host a Community Gaming Night on Cellfactor. As long as we can get a least 8 or 10 people to purchase it, I know we would have one hell of a night. For the members that need more than my word for convincing, here are some facts about the game. Just know if you like Quake or Unreal Tournament, you will love this game and at only 800 Microsoft points, it’s a steal. Here’s the lowdown about Cellfactor: Psychokinetic Wars. • CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars is a fast-paced …

Brooke Hattabaugh, also known as Brookelyn from the all-girl gaming team the
Frag Dolls, is a competitive gamer hired by Ubisoft. Brooke, at five years of age, received her first Nintendo video game system and has been happy with her addiction to video games ever since. Although gaming has always been a big part of her life, she decided to move her status as a “causal girl gamer” to the more serious title: “professional gamer.”
In 2002, Brooke joined the all-girl video game clan, PMS. This is the clan that prepared and propelled her to her career as a professional gamer. She became comfortable with playing as a team, broadened her communication skills during competitive matches and developed leadership skills, later needed as a professional gamer. After 2 years into leading the Rainbow Six 3 division for PMS, she and co-founder of PMS (Valkyrie) decided to take their gaming in a new direction. This is when she applied to become a member of Ubisoft’s Frag Dolls team.
Now you can find Brooke spending most of her time practicing for FPS tournaments, traveling the across the U.S. and encouraging more women to play games and especially to compete. When not gaming she is working hard in school to achieve her bachelors degree as a video game animator. Brookelyn’s other interest outside gaming include: designing toys, sewing, Mac makeup and dancing.
Hattabaugh is thrilled to be a part of the Frag Dolls, inspire other female gamers and to eventually partake in the actual creation and development of video games themselves – it just doesn’t get more “hardcore” than that.
