    Hi, been looking to get a few games for my gf. In the past she has liked things like dungeon keeper and zelda and stuff like that on consoles. Anyone got any suggestions for any others?

    Try Evil Genius, it's not that recent so most modern notebooks nowadays can play it. It's also one of the few games that resembles the old Dungeon Keeper games on the PC.

    My girlfriend is playing Oblivion... it seems to be a good game for any gender. :)

    She is also playing PSX and Nintendo DS games.

    actually I have been to many E3's and gaming expos and conferences.

    You should realize that 70% of casual gamers are female. :)

    Mass Effect is good and you can play as male or female.
    If she likes adventure type games then Indigo Prophecy, Syberia, Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey are all really good.

    my girlfriend likes pretty much all games (RPGs, RTSs, Puzzle, Console, etc..) except FPS's... since they seem to make her dizzy or have headaches.

    I am lucky to be with her... and she is hot (even though she think she isnt). :D

    shes under 105lbs, 5'2" and is sexy... just her self-confidence needs to be boosted... due to a sub-par childhood (.... parents)

    If you are wondering, we just came back from the Anime Expo 2008. We were going to cosplay. Her as Yankumi (actress Nakama Yukie) from Gokusen.... because she can be her double. :)

    she already plays my Konami music collection:
    - Beatmania and IIDX (the origin of all Konami music games... not DDR)
    - Keyboardmania (for those that know how to play a piano)
    - pretty much all versions of DDR (including Stepmania custom song packs)
    - Guitar Freaks and Drummania (the original that Guitar Hero ripped-off)
    - Para Para Paradise (never made it to US, only imports)

    And we like to ballroom dance (Salsa and East Coat Swing dancing).

    Thats enough physical stuff for us... and we did Aikido for a while as well.

    like I said:

    "If you are wondering [what she looks like], we just came back from the Anime Expo 2008. We were going to cosplay. Her as Yankumi (actress Nakama Yukie) from Gokusen.... because she can be her double." :D

    I do not post personal pics... it might give away my identity. ;)
