Games that the woman would enjoy

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

My wife barely considered gaming a reasonable adult pastime before I entered her life. Since succumbing to my wiles, she has enjoyed a short list of games with me:
Animal Crossing
Super Monkey Ball
Zoo Keeper (a Bejeweled clone)
Guitar Hero
Zuma (a Popcap-style matching coloered balls-type puzzle game)
Burnout Revenge (Who knew? Guess she loves driving recklessly)
Ape Escape 3
Indigo Prophecy
Wii Sports

I know she really likes a game when she actually asks me, unprompted, to play with her. Right now, that game is Rock Band. I accompany her on guitar while she rocks the mic, and we have a great time.

My mum is currently digging: Mario Kart Wii, Professor Layton, 42 All Time Classics, Singstar PS3 and Zelda Phantom Hourglass.
My fiancee is currently digging: Freakout (obscure Treasure game for PS2), Dragon Quest 8, Animal Crossing and Gregory Horror Show.

Hope that helps.

My room mate loves Guitar Hero, Soul Caliber 1, Crazy Taxi, Darious Gaiden and other shmups, any mario game... basically anything.

Right now, we usually play one of our many Dreamcast or Saturn games and she likes pretty much everything.

Also, she really liked Kingdom Hearts.

My girlfriend really like playing this online flash game:

Basically you try to solve mysteries and it's point and click.



Does anyone know anything similar that is on the XBox360 and is halfway decent?????!!! I was thinking maybe that LOST game..

My mate enjoyed the Lost game on PS2... I hate the Tv series though so I never played it. He has quite discerning tastes too and not just some casual gamer who likes anything thats popular.

I wish I could get my girlfriend to play shmups or rpgs (especially multiplayer rpgs).

My girlfriend does like most of the mario games, mario karts, f-zero, donkey kong, harvest moon. Lately all she has been playing is guitar hero though.
