LittleBigPlanet or Kirby's Epic Yarn, she'll love these games. They're colorful, easy to play and funny.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Girls love Katamari Damacy. Other games like indy platformers, 3d Mario styled games, LBP.

Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Walking dead. great experience to share. I still have to play episode 3 (s2) with my gf, but we had fun all the way.

How about paying attention to her instead of doing something she doesn't like to do? :o

Thanks, love expert....but she ASKED me to play a game while she watches. I actually refused but next time she comes over, I'll play something. Probably Heavy Rain or Tomb Raider. You've been a great help, though.

I'm sorry i haven't seen this thread before but clearly this was a test and by now you failed and she's talking to her friends: " and then he actually played a video game" you should have know better Timothy..

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

The question: What's a good game to play that will keep a girl's attention (if she only wants to watch and not play).

... if you're having to ask gamers on the internet, then you've failed your first and only job at this early stage in your relationship.

You should know your girlfriend well enough to figure out where her interests lie. And that's what will tell you what you should be playing with her (yes, "with" - even if you're the only one with a controller, you should still be including her in the game, whatever game it is).
