Top 5 Ways to Get Your Girlfriend into Gaming

January 27, 2010 in Top List comments 28

This is a list of the top 5 ways to get your girlfriend (or spouse) into gaming without using a Nintendo Wii, from someone who has accomplished such a feat writing for PlanetXbox360.com.

Playing video games can represent a significant investment of time, especially depending on what you play. Some games are easier to pick up, play a little and step away from, particularly anything that’s focused on an intense, fast-paced multiplayer experience. But if you’re like me and love games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect or Dragon Age Origins where exploration and deviation from the main plotline is encouraged it can be difficult to get full satisfaction from a scant few minutes of gaming. Having a girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse who ‘just doesn’t get it’ can be a hassle, since they might rather spend leisure time watching television, building birdhouses or something. I stand as living proof that not only can gamers everywhere continue to play long after settling down into a loving, happy relationship, but that it is indeed possible to make gaming a shared pass-time between you and your girlfriend. I’ll tell you the top 5 ways to get her into gaming (without using a Wii).

      Haha yeah, that's a fun one. New Super Mario Bros. Wii can also provide for some fun couples gaming.

    At least it's not as bad as IGN's "Look honey, it has emotions and shit" list.

    Oh look gaiz, another one of these articles.

    Here's a clue numbskulls; if anyone is seriously thinking about taking advice on this subject from a site like you they clearly lack the intelligence required to have a girlfriend in the first place.

    True story.

    Wow, bad choice of pics to illustrate the article. Because attempting to be female friendly absolutely requires a pic of a woman in her panties
    Well played.

      Assume the game you have gotten your girlfriend into is 'Cooking Mama' or something similar.

    All that article did, was make me think of what I'd rather be doing with her.
