A few months ago my girlfriend and I moved in together. Along came my 360 and she enjoyed watching me play. She was more excited than me when I finally beat Need For Speed: Carbon. She didn't even want me to beat GTA4 without her there to see the end, but no matter how hard I tried, she just wouldn't pick up the sticks. I made it my personal goal to put that to an end.

I went to gamestop yesterday and picked up Viva Pinata. I had really no drive to play that game, but it seemed like something she could get into.

It worked! She sat down and played it most of the evening. I had fun watching her play and helping her along.

But what next? I know the second game is coming out soon, but I need some more games that we can play together. Any suggestions?

How about the Lego games? The co-play on those can be fun, and they are totally girl friendly (I should know ;) ) Star Wars/Indiana Jones characters running around in Lego form are too cute :D

Its too sad when they let society make them think video games are not for girls/ or only for nerds. They are a lot of fun and everyone should play them!

The LEGO games, Guitar Hero if she's into music, preferrably rock music. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts when that comes out. Try some racing games as well. She liked watching you play Need for Speed, so she might like playing something like Burnout, PGR, or Need for Speed.

Since she enjoyed watching you play racing games go with that. Or RB/GH, just pick party games. And next time you make a title... well don't make it that dirty.

Lol. It got people to reply, and thats all I was really hoping for. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be looking into the LEGO games soon, and I already planned on buying Rock Band.

Now get you minds out of the gutter.

har har, nice sig matey, I remember that topic :lol:

Anyways, I agree the lego games have fun co-op, or so I hear. There are some arcade games that are totally worth checking out. Aces of the Galaxy is simple and has co-op, Braid, although single player, is a blast and N+ is simpe too yet fun :D
