For on-topic-ness... Mario Kart is definitely a good choice I'd say. Roommate loved that game too, and it's intuitive and fun.

Puzzle games might also be a good idea, like Tetris or Bust-A-Move. I've known a lot of girls who got addicted to those games even when they didn't play other games regularly.

Also: BOMBERMAN. Multiplayer Bomberman is one of the best things ever. XD I have no gauge on whether or not the average girl likes it, but it's pretty simple and fun so I'd imagine it's worth a shot.

There's always the low-key stuff like Animal Crossing, too. It really depends more on the person, I guess. People won't like fast-paced games if they aren't used to it or don't have quick reflexes and such, whether they are a girl or not, so you'd have to see what kinds of games she's most comfortable playing and pick fun ones with that guideline.

All the people who suggest DDR or anything like it: No. Jenna doesn't like that. She also knows already that I'm much better than her, so I couldn't pretend to suck.

Also, it really sucks that I only have a PS2, cuz all of the simpler and more girly games appear to be on Nintendo consoles. I'll prolly get a Wii for that very reason, cuz if she can't find a game she likes for that, we something is wrong. I'll have to get the obvious stuff like Mario Kart/Party, SSB, and maybe Monkey Ball. Plus with the virtual console thing I could get classics that she's know and love like Tetris and such.

I do have Bomberman for PS1, though, but I can't remember if she likes it or not. Seems like everybody I meet and force to play Bomberman doesn't like it. =\

OH! I have this game, Demolition Racer. My sisters liked it cuz you just crash your car and try to do the most damage. I'll have to see if she likes that. >=)

I guess you have a point there. Wait, is your gf a pro at ITG ? I've yet to see a female player who could do Vertex on hard or above. [ this last sentence has no relativity to anything im saying ].

Dude.

Listen to me.

We <3 Katamari.

It's fun to play by yourself, it's fun to play with someone else, it's got great replay value, and it has wicked-awesome music. If you had a Gamecube, I would be screaming "Wario Ware Inc. Mega Party Game$" (I rented it from blockbuster, put it on the big screen theater, and had the greatest time playing it with my brother), but you have a PS2. Get We <3 Katamari.

Oh, btw eb, I'm almost certain Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz is a launch title for the Wii, so when you get a Wii be sure to pick that up. With the help of the awesomeness of the Wii controller, it's gonna be a pretty damn good game.

...ok. that's kinda odd. HF2 hmmm. i'll have to check that out

The original Katamari Damacy actually has better music than We Love Katamari, in my opinion.

However, both of them are still quite excellent for playing in any (gasp) social situation.

[dragoonhead]

Stepmania is good to play with their girlfriends,and it's true because i have view some couple playing at the same time at SMO.
Or a good game is The Cerebral Training by Dr Kawashima^^ (DS)

I would have to agree with you about the music being better in the first.
Cherry Blossom Color Season GET.

Um more on topic my girlfriend loves all the Mortal Kombat games.

[Omeganitros]

Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64 is amazingly awesome.

Get We <3 Katamari, it's fun for both gamers and non-gamers.

Yes it is.

[jewpinthethird]

I've really only played We <3 Katamari with my girlfriend (and other female friends, all of whom seem to love the game). If you havent played the game, well, you should totally go out and buy it anyway.

Another fun multiplayer game which I think girls would dig is Super Monkey Ball. I forget which one, I think it was 2 (for the Gamecube)? Anyway, the multiplayer is great fun. I used to play it with my friends for hours on end.

[Tasuke]

You can get monkey ball on the PS2 can't you?

But I say you go out and buy a bottle of tequila and mix yourselves up some margaritas and see where the night takes you.

ps. Do you have a pool? If so, you should work the pool into the scenerio somehow.

[emptiness]

[dunlop]

I've found that Halo 2 works really well, especially if you have XBL.

Super Smash Brothers is pretty fun as well.
