    Well, my wife like to play games like Zuma, Tetris, and other similar type of games.

    By the way, she is better than me at Zuma :)

    Anyway, I was wondering what other type of games should I introduce her to. What games do females like to play?

    PopCap games all the way!!! Zuma is a PopCap game. They are perfect for anyone that is moreso a casual gamer; male or female. Check out www.popcap.com

    Accually, I know alot of women that like to play MMO's like SWG(Star Wars Galaxies) and COH(City Of Hero's) but you might not want to get her hooked becuase it could be awhile before you see her again. :)

    I tell you, the best way to keep a woman from cheating on you is turning her into a gamer. That'll stop them from socializing.

    I have had many firends of mine play games here and there. It takes time with fps games but they like it if they are competitive types. The best game ever not a pouzzler, is Animal Crossing for Gamecube. Unbelievable, they all love it.

    She has beaten the game Zuma a long time ago. Now she is set out to beat the game called Luxor, which is similar to Zuma. She is also close to beating this game because she has reached level 12-6 of that game.

    I never got the hang of Luxor. Beating Zuma was enough for me. I did play and beat Heavy Weapon (also a PopCap game), but most women won't like that game.

    I know a few female adults (aged 30 or above) who play MMORPGs. However, they are outnumbered by males at about a 5:1 ratio.

    Well my wife likes to play just about anything Nintendo, and the Resident Evil series. She also enjoys her RPG's like Baldurs Gate and Everquest. We are currently playing Champions of Norrath together on the PS2. And god forbid she got that Nintendogs for her DS and can't stop playing with that. I guess I just got lucky with her. Right after we started dating the Nintendo 64 came out and she asked me if we were going to buy it or not (pretty much told me we were buying it) and that told me right there she was a keeper.
