Hello,

I am looking for easy games that my girlfriend might enjoy playing on the 360. So far she's rented the Sonic game and loves it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for games like as I've only had the 360 since Christmas. I guess you know, the old Mario type of games, jump on enemies heads and run around collecting coins and such, is what I'm looking for.


Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the 360s library is real sparse when it comes to games like this. you might want to try and find a backwards compatible Xbox game. One doesn't pop into my head though.

Plan B. Teach her to play Gears of War ;)

I can't imagine trying to teach her how to play Halo or Gears. I think I'm going ot pickup a copy of Lego Star Wars II. We played through that together last summer and that was just amazing. As for looking for old titles, I'll do that. I always forget that it's backwards compatible.

viva pinata is addicting and simple, look at the xbl arcade, there are plenty of fun easy games there. Cloning Clyde is a fun one that has a lot of gameplay, just a 2d run around type thing. Lego Star Wars II is tons of fun also.

My advice, if she doesn't like Halo or Gears you should get a new girl-friend.

That's amazing, you actually took me serious. I thought everyone would know I was kidding, next time I'll be sure to speak slowly and use small words, that might be easier to understand.

the problem is that somebody here will honestly agree with your statement, and not think you're joking. (however, if you do happen to get a Halo playing GOW killing smoking hot babe, kudos to you fucker)

All I have to say is, me and my fiancee are in the GoW "Love and War" tournament in February. If you start those who don't game with games that are easy to pick up (Mario Kart seems to do the trick), soon enough they'll fall into games like Halo. It's not as hard to get loved ones to play games as some make it out to be.

I am a chick who plays those games, and who cares if someone agrees with me on here, if they do listen to my advice it might be a good thing for the chick they are with right now. The way I see it, if my boyfriend listen to some person he had never met, who told him we should not be together because of one difference of interest, I'm better off without him. That's a pretty dumb reason to break up with someone, and if he broke up with me over that, he would have broken up with me over something equally as stupid sometime down the road.

Kameo might be something a girl would like, i've heard chicks talking about it before. And there is also Guitar Hero II but doesn't come out till March on the 360.
