I didn't! I don't get it, for whatever reason. It somehow makes me think of maths, I strongly dislike that
Anyway I love the Sims (all 3 of them) and I know hardly any girl who doesn't.
If you want to go with somthing different, I also think Fable 2 might be a good choice.
Anyone of you ever played Shadow of Memories? I could imagine that aswell, maybe a bit dark, but interessting and not very difficult.
My girlfriend and all of her friends that are girls really love the Nancy Drew series. I tried playing it but had to stop after the first two puzzles were LITERALLY vegetable picking and basket weaving. She like portal but wasn't very good at controlling, needed practice.
That's so true. Really, don't get games that YOU like for your girlfriend. That's a pointless and selfish exercise. If you think she'll like Sim's, get that for her. Remember, a relationship isn't just about YOU.Mr.Pandah said:
That aside, I'd recommend trying Spore on her. If not, save the money, get out and do something nice together. Buy 10 movie tickets or something, 5 movies you like and 5 she likes (Or if you're feeling particularly nice, 7 movies she likes and 3 for you)
Well the Sims is a sure fire hit. Granted, you'll never speak to her again because she'll be too busy making her little virtual household, but she'll enjoy it none the less.
If she's hella cool, get her the Orange Box.

The Sims 3, though expensive, only requires the same amount of processing power as the Sims 2.noscoe said:
Bit of Arx Fatalis information: The game is not a class based RPG, but instead a skill based RPG. You kill things, complete quests and such and level up and then assign points to stats and skills.
Of note in Arx Fatalis is a unique spell system no other game has ever done before or since (to my knowledge), where in you actually draw the magical symbols with your mouse, making you have to think about the spell casting element for real.
Also of note is a great sense of humor, intriguing story and the fact that it's one of the few games I know of with dismemberment in it as well as a cooking system and an item combination system.
I think five dollars is well worth what I consider to be the best RPG I have ever played.
The Sims is a pretty fun game and it usually works wonders for girlfriends. Otherwise, some "light" RPGs like Jade Empire, Mass Effect or such might also be good since they focus a lot more on storyline than level/skill progression. She can always upgrade to the more heavy RPGs later if she warms to the genre.
Alternately try some of the newer adventure/investigation games, like the CSI or Sherlock Holmes games and what not, women generally like a good mystery so if she fits the demographic they might be a hit and they don't require too much of the PC either.
But seriously, if she's not a gamer there's a good chance you're wasting your time with PC games, get her a DS instead, that's what I did for my girlfriend. She doesn't use it that often, but when she does it's hours at a time. Almost like a real gamer
Edit: Black & White or Black & White 2 might also be interesting for her, a blend of pet-simulator and strategy god game. Also Fable, although only Fable 1 is released for the PC.
