Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Guitar hero / Rock Band usually works.

Any racing / sports game, depending on her interests.

Go to the game store/rental place and ask her which one she thinks she'd enjoy.

LittleBigPlanet is a really great game to play with anyone. but me and my girlfriend have a blast with it, especially. assuming you have atleast two Dualshock 3's, definatly give it a shot (and the more, the better.).

the worse thing you can play with a girlfriend is a fighter. trust me, I know. I've handed it to my girlfriend so many times in Guilty Gear XX #Reload, and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (girlfriends make for great instant kill and parry practice). I'm way too instinctive when it comes to fighters. I can't 'take it easy'. on the other hand, she beats me 50% of the time in Virtua Fighter 5. though I've just never been much for 3D fighters.

Smash Bros. Brawl then?

My girlfriend is always trying to get me to play mmorpg's with her. Usually Guild Wars or Perfect World.

Too bad they won't run on my system.

My personal favorite...

Super Mario World, you can take turns...

Donkey Kong, you can play tag-team.

LBP might be good, I've never played it, but from the looks that would be great... you guys could make a level together and then play it together.

I don't really know any non-violent co-op games... my favorite co-op games ever are

Ghost Recon - Chillin', Snipin', Old-school.

Left4Dead - Come the fuck on... who doesn't want to shoot 50928350385309485 zombies with their friends?

You could get Portal and work through the levels together. Its not co-op, but you can work together to figure the levels out....

This.

Also, whoever said that thing about fighters, girls rule at them. Their button mashing always breaks my combos and kicks my ass. In shit like Tekken, I can beat a lot of experienced players, but when a female button masher grabs the controller, I'm most likely going to lose. :o

Exactly this, LittleBigPlannet is perfect material.

Though most of my other games require:

1) Dual thumbstick controls (controls which, in my experience, girls will never be able to use.)
2) Guns
3) Online multiplayer. Damn I hate that, why can't they just make games with local multiplayer too! You know, we do actually have real friends that come to our houses.

Three out of the nine PS3 games I own have a local multiplayer, two of which require 1 and 2.

As for fighters, they're always fun, we all had a blast on Mortal Combat vs. DC Universe. Even the girls! They're lethal on fighters:

Yeah, chicks are pretty good at the oldschool fighters, and most mario titles (world, kart, etc).
Haven't met a girl who's good at Sonic or into Road Rash yet, but there's bound to be some..

Generally they love shit like Singstar if there's a fair few people around, but if it's just your missus Guitar Hero and Rock Band allllll the waaaaaaaay.



...3) Online multiplayer. Damn I hate that, why can't they just make games with local multiplayer too! You know, we do actually have real friends that come to our houses...


My oath! Online exclusive multiplayer sucks, and it's fucking shite that more and more games are coming out as not only exclusive to online in the multiplayer department (local has been pretty much killed off now in the gaming scene), but also seemingly exclusive to online in the content department.
"Oh, but there's hours and hours of online multiplayer fun to be had!" just doesn't cut it with me. That's no excuse for neglecting their obligation to provide some actual fucking offline content, and it's sure as shit no replacement for local multiplayer.

Girls heart Singstar and thats a fact but it depends how well you know her/how terrible you are at singing as to whether you risk playing it with her!

As others have already said - Guitar Hero (on easy), Smash Brothers and Mario Kart are surefire winners too.

Old school games, if you find one that she played as a kid that is a perfect one. I find girls like super mario world. I wouldn't make sweeping generalizations about girls though, just ask her what she would like to play. If she is new to gaming, any pickup and play game will work- Wii sports, rock band, guitar hero, and the like.

This. It really pisses me off, and is one of the reasons I do not own a current gen console. I only own a PC, because I can't really do local multiplayer on that anyway. However, since me and my brother both own decent PC's, we can play LAN games together like C&C 3, Halo: Combat Evolved, Descent 3, Unreal Tournament 99, and various Steam games such as Garry's Mod and Counter Strike.

Next time my girlfriend comes over I need to show her Garry's Mod and Portal. Heh. It's pretty funny, I got her semi-addicted to San Andreas once, but she eventually got frustrated.

You obviously haven't been looking in the right places. There's a girl in my homeroom who is very pretty (kinda emo looking) who likes video games and wears a Halo 3 shirt every once and a while. She's pretty cool. I'd (try to) date her if I didn't already have a girlfriend.

My girlfriend is pretty and enjoys the occasional video game but she thinks I'm an uber nerd for building my own comp and playing games all the time. It's okay though cuz she still thinks I'm hot. Cool
