Not Mario Golf (I'm not a big fan of Golf) but we've logged in a lot of time in games like World of Keflings. She doesn't like competitive games at all. She loves co-op more than anything. So many hours were spent playing The Simpsons Game, Kingdom of Keflings, Resident Evil 5, and Lego Indiana Jones that it's crazy.
And in the end, I think this is where her addiction to mature games comes from. Whenever we buy a game, she asks "Is it two-player?" That's the reason we've blown through games like Castle Crashers, Double Dragon, Contra, Streets of Rage, etc. She just likes playing with me. The problem is, I just don't have the patience to play games that are geared towards her. I planned on getting Mine Craft or the Lego Star Wars games but much of the time, even if I buy something like Little Big Planet 2 and she wants to play with me, I just find myself thinking "Fuck. I don't want to play this kiddie game..." and I think she picks up on that.
I like more mature games (or competitive games like Mario Kart) and she just wanted to play co-op with her dad. I guess, to a degree, I subconsciously trained her to like the kinds of games that I like to play. Heck, she likes comic books and pro-wrestling, too. She's kinda like my son!
I know this post is waaaaay off topic from what you asked. I'm just venting.
