    Games for Girls

    Right, following my comment here (http://forums.hexus.net/showpost.php...1&postcount=25 - para 2 and beyond) about the g/f taking a shine to my nice new graphic rendering ability with UT2004 on my newly build computer ( )...I thought I'd ask the community at large what they thought I should get her in the "great to look at but a bit less gore" category...
    I was thinking Myst but as I recall (not that I've played them) they're point and click things, despite being very nice to look at I think I'd rather get her a game you can actually run around in - like UT...any thing come to mind?

    p.s. please no 'fluffy bunny version 2.3' jokes. I played that one and its cr*p, he dies at the end.

    I know a few girls ( and women ) that like playing CS 1.6 and now they've progressed onto HL2 and CS:Source and 1 of them plays for the other clan I play for and she regularly whips folks left, right and centre

    Well my g/f likes to play Half Life 2, HL2 Deathmatch, Unreal 2004, and the original NFS Underground. But most are gorey. She doesnt mind, she plays Dino Crisis, Resident Evil, games like that, on her PSone.

    Let her have a go at a few of your games! I did, and now i have to fight with her over the PC.

    My bro's g/f kept dreaming of BF1942 after playing for a few weeks. lol. Now theres a sign of an addicted gamer.

    She was also engrossed in the Harry Potter games too.

    Glad I got rid of her now - she was hogging my PC too much

    The latest monkey island game? Not a briliant looker, but I can't see how anyone could not like it.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    One female friend loves the Silent Hill series on her PS2, and another vote for Harry Potter - that Quidditch game is good fun

    Grim Fandango and Outcast were favourites and a game called HamsterBall on PC.
