Her pose seems to enhance her assets which is obviously to cater the needs of the male audience. The title of the game is in front of her however it does not cover her breasts or her backside. 3) How might the cover be read as empowering for female gamers? She does not need the man to be there to help her she is strong enough to advertise her game on her own.
