Game ideas for a girl (gift)

My gf got a ps3 and doesn't have any games (she is 21 not that that really matters). I am sure she will like Little Big Planet because shes played it before so I plan on getting her the GOTY edition and then later on I'll get her the sequel. I can't think of any other console games that she may like and am not too familiar with console games anyways. She is not that big of a gamer so I can't really go by the games she DOES play...

The only other game that comes to mind is MW3 because that franchise is so popular and she's played COD a few times.

Any suggestions? :D Or any casual girl gamers out there that can share their favorites?

Great idea! I have that on Steam it's really fun and definitely casual enough for her :P

Rock Band 3 is an amazing game, its quite a bit of money to get the instruments, but the disc is only $20, so you save money right there, and with so much DLC out now, you won't be disappointed, best music game out today

Sly Collection. It's fun for anyone really.

ratchet and clank, mod nation racers, maybe infamous?

Rachet and Clank, Portal 2, Assassin's Creed(?)

Final Fantasy XIII is simplistic enough and should be pretty cheap right now

You guys missed the most obvious female game, The Sims :P

Guitar Hero/Rock Band, or Move bundle.

what ratchet and clank game would you guys suggest? i was actually thinking about that as well. also will look up alot of the games mentioned here, I haven't heard of most of them.

All 4 One, its 4 players and you can play along with her and help her out

Do not start her on all 4 one. It is a decent game but the weakest of all the main games. Have her play the ps3 ones in order: tools of destruction, quest for booty (downloadable title only, no disc), crack in time, and then all 4 one. While the other games are not multi player I think she will enjoy them and they have much better stories then all 4 one. You don't want all 4 one to be her first ratchet and clank game.

I'd recommend Oblivion and Skyrim as well as Fallout 3. If she's too casual for that, she won't be for long. Those are great games! There's also Civilization Revolutions.jordonj

So you want her early experiences to be with slow to develope, buggy messes?

:lol:

Unkind, bro, un-KIND! I would say that holding your choices to "girl games" is a waste of time, seeing as most women find panderous advertising & gender focus to be insulting. That said, they're not really all about the Lara Croft, though women who take long enough to get over what the press has used Lara to represent for their own purient interests (selling magazines and TV time), they realize that Lara is a tremendously positive character, and powerhouse hero.

Ask her what she likes, what she doesn't like, and download her a few demos. Go from there. but the worst advice you're ever going to get about what your girl enjoys is from strangers on the Internet.

Ask HER. They like to be included, makes 'em feel like you care about what THEY care about.

if she's into girl power, get her Bayonetta

i only suggested All 4 One for the multiplayer aspect of it

Depends on what kind of games she likes. Yeah this is a very broad and obvious answer but it's true. Asking her what kind of games she might like is a good idea. It doesn't always have to be a surprise and she will probably have a general idea about different game genres and what she does and doesn't like.

Buy her "Catherine" and she will be happy for life.

Perhaps Batman: Arkham Aslyum and/or City. If she enjoys CoD because its an fps as opposed to because so many friends play it, you could try getting her MW3 or BF3. The most recent Tomb Raider game is pretty cheap now on psn, or you could buy the trilogy. I agree with what some others have said about LBP though, don't bother getting the first one - just get the second. Its a much better purchase as all the additions make the first game pale in comparison and all lbp1 levels work on the second game anyway. You could try one or both of the inFamous games, too. Very casual superhero platformer, imo.

First off, you lucky dog, not many people have this problem. My gf is head over a$$ into the Kardouchyians and what ever else is on tv...but she really enjoyed watching me play Heavy Rain. There are a lot of situations involving children and family that a girl would become emotionally attatched. Uncharted 2/3 would be good as well. And you might consider getting her a move controller. My gf is gaga over that crap.

Yea, i would also say portal 2 great game

Recommends-

• Valkyria Chronicles
• Disgaea 4
• Guitar Hero any + Guitar
• Lego Harry Potter
• Katamari Forever
• Hevanly Sword
