Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move is my gf's favorite game ever, and she enjoys playing any version of it.

Magical Drop is another one that she quite enjoys. Puzzle games just tend to appeal to her more.

Oh, and she loves Mushihimesama Futari, but thats probably not common :lol:

We haven't had a chance to play it yet, but mjmjr25 recommended Safe Cracker for the Wii and after months, I finally found it at a GameStop (preowned for $4.99!). Not expensive but not really common either.

Nice game, Make sure the disc is pristine. it really gives the Wii laser a workout.

My two last ex-girlfriends loved to play Metal Slug with me. It's a very accessible game, though it's hard. But playing with unlimited continues was very fun and we tried to use less credits on the next playthroughs.

Actually, one of them became so good that she 1 cc'ed Metal Slug 5 on the arcade. Not kidding.

My current girlfriend doesn't like games at all, but I hope I'll get her interested in some of my hobbies later on. Still, we do other stuff together, so it's not a big deal.

My ex-fiancee loved to play Deadstorm Pirates on the PS3. We played with a Sharpshooter.
Simple shooting and fun mini-game elements in a great presented package.

Im single, but a lot of my female friends seem to enjoy playing We love katamari with me. The co-op is a real blast once you two get the hang of it.

I also recommend the Katamari games, but the other one that my girlfriend and I really enjoyed was The Adventures of Cookie and Cream on PS2. The story mode is full of really fun cooperative puzzles and I think it's actually easier playing with someone else than playing by yourself.

Try "Tumble" and any "Puyo Pop" clone. Consider taking turns on Mario 64?
