what about something like warcrtaft/starcraft/diablo. thoes are easy and fairly emersive

 

[ClueLis]

It think pretty much everyone here is referring to the Sims single player game, not the MMO version.

 

[digitalsm]

Well, Id suggest.

The Sims
RPGs and Adventure games
MMORPGs

When it comes to MMORPGs alot of women play them, more so than any other genre.

My S.O. and I are playing through Halo co-op and not only does she like it, she doesn't suck ass either

Parappa the Rapper is cool.

 

[Ionizer86]

The Sims (and many other simulators for that matter).

don't you mean immersing?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

my fiance likes "popit" on yahoo games. that's about as much as a gamer as she'll get.

 

[EyeMWing]

The Sims. Singleplayer. Multiplayer will confuse her unduly (As well as possible connectivity problems frustrating her)

before we got together my SO would play TFC with me. she only knew how to use the hwguy/gurl. now that we're together she won't play anything with me.

 

[nan0bug]

Pick up a copy of neverwinter nights, its a pretty good game and if she doesn't like it, you probbably will.

 

[Pepsei]

Hmmm, how about Leisure Suit Larry series... perhaps they should make an online version...

The best thing is to start them on the Sims and with any luck they'll realize it sucks after a while. From there you can move to RPG or Adventure games. After that anything is game.

If you do puzzel games it will never advance beyond puzzel games.

I agree...(but not with your spelling of the word puzzle.)

 

[dquan97]

She would like Sims

 

[blure007]

Sims is the best. I had my wife into EQ but I tweaked her character with out telling her and she freaked out and quit. I learned that you just give them a game and leave them alone, don't show them anything unless they ask for help.

Syberia, I noticed it was mentioned.. but oh man, that had me immersed in it for WEEKS.. it's awesome.. and the creator of the game is a real nice guy too.

I think she'd like Syberia, very very story driven, and it's a simple puzzle based adventure game.

Tetris and Dr. Mario.

Seriously. Find an NES (or just get an emulator) and have her play Tetris and Dr. Mario.

My gf likes TimeCrisis gun type arcade games when we go out.

She likes GT3 on ps2. Got her to play some WC and she liked it and dissed me for my skills . Did plan on getting her to play some CS but didn't have it at the time and wasn't online in halls. QIII she thinks is alright.
