she wants a game that me and her can play together. Im thinking of something that wouldn't be to difficult. She is kinda Joystick retarded..(she has a hard time using both the joysticks at the same time..) She likes games like God of war, Dante's inferno, Little Big Planet. Stuff like that. She does not like shooting games AT ALL! Dont even get me started with forza..

Any recommendation guys?
 
Do you have Xbox Kinect? That would open the door to games she would like and doesn't require use of the joysticks. Just a thought :).
 
You say she is joystick retarded. I hope that's only when playing video games. ;)

Do they have any puzzle like games. Sorta like a tetris or angry birds?

Keep in mind, Joysticks do not require anything more then a thumb ;) hahaha but on a serious note.. nevermind i dont know what serious note could have been had after that.

I got dead island cus i thought it could have been used as a split screen multiplayer. I was so wrong, despite what the original packaging makes you think.. And what sucks is that i bought it used, so i had 7 days to return it if i didnt like it. Crappy thing is, is that the place i bought it from closed about 3 days after i bought it -.-
 
You could give Scott Pilgrim vs. the World a shot. I used to play that with my previous GF a lot and it worked like a charm Plus, if you're in co-op mode, you can always protect her and clean up her mess, without her noticing it too much. Game's pretty easy if you know what you're doing and keep it on the easiest setting.

Plus, it can be had off of XBL for 12 bucks or so. and it looks cute (that's what she said, at least).
 
My Girlfriend and I got CSI a few years ago, one person can use the controller (you) while you both solve the murders, although this game is a bit crap visually and we got bored with it (read I got bored with it) after 2 cases
 
The LEGO games are solid beat-em-up/shoot-em platformers. My fiancée likes any of those.
 
1. Thrillville Off The Rails (also has 50 mini games)
2. Viva Pinata
3. Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise
4. Viva Pinata: Party Animals
5. Kameo
6. Overlord
7. Rock Band 2 or 3 or any other musical game
8. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
9. All the lego games
10. Fable 2 or Fable 3
11. Perfect Dark Zero
12. Family Game Night
13. Scene It box Office Smash
A lot of the arcade games can be really fun too.

I was actually looking into that game a while back, it does look pretty fun actually.

A couple of months ago i went into a game stop and i noticed her checking out the box for overlord, the game does seem interesting and she actually liked the idea of it.

Rockband thats always a given, she loves to play Jimi Hendrix songs. I used to have it for my PS3 but have yet to get it for my 360.

Legos, see above :)


thanks for all the help guys.

It seems to draw most on the same source of inspiration that gave the IP coin-shower deaths, River City Ransom. Fun game but like most retro efforts these days it feels like they could have gone deeper with it.

Exactly. They're not top-notch titles, but their target audience belies their quality gameplay.

I appreciate that the game actually rewards the time spent helping/waiting for my fiancée to destroy every last destructible object. It took a while to convince her cutting the grass in Secret of Mana was not as productive as trimming and plucking everything in TLoZ: A Link to the Past. :)
