If only it is that easy to convert a girl to a gamer... The only thing attracted her attention so far is the Wii, and that's the only console that I am not interested in getting so far - dang.

my GF loves to play Diner dash, an arcadish game in PC, and sims game in PS2, which was her small bro's console..

never tried to influence her to play other games before, since she always mad at me when i play games a lot(afraid that i might get fat without exercise).... i guess girlfriends might get angry when they see their bf play games in long hours, they feel ignored and forgotten..

so IMHO, girl gamer kinda cute, but at certain point i would prefer to avoid her playing War or shooting games, since i dont want her to yell "WTF!!" "DIE!!" and smash my PS3.....tongue.gif


my suggestion, if you really want to get you GF into gaming, let her play Co-op games with you, i suggest Obsecure in PS2, and tennis game TOP SPIN 3 in PS3..

i remembered when i play obsecure with my GF, its a game similar to Resident evil games, which have bf and gf characters in the storyline...so both of us can really connect with the characters,and there is this one time i had to rescue her from monsters(and i succeeded) then she rewarded me with a hug hehehe wub.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

for my wife, she is only interested into wii with me instead of PS and xbox... hahaha.. maybe wii really catches girls attention..  laugh.gif

One of the reason is that it's easily to hold on (literally) with the gameplay. It's very easy. Try to buy her the bowling game (which I forgot the name) and she'd get hooked up instantly. Psst..works great with a tv bigger than 40inches. Lalala~ And, most of the games are like family oriented, so we get hooked up on it instantly.

Harvest Moon is sort of like "farm sim".
typical storyline is, you inherit a farm from your family (dead uncle/granpa/dad) and it's your job to run the farm.
you can interact with the town ppl, sell your farm stuffs, etc.

kinda fun if you like sim type of game.
only cuter.

Well, I hope you know her very good coz you need to figure what kind of games that she might interested in playing. For reviews of NDS games, you can check out here

http://www.gamespot.com/ds/index.html

So, from those list, if you think there are lots suitable games that your gf would like to play, then NDS it is blush.gif
I'd prefer NDS too because it's lightweight and I can carry it with me anywhere, especially if I have to wait for someone.
