+1. Also, the Fable games, Orange Box, and Beautiful Katamari would be good choices.Pi_Fighter said:

halo. solid shooter, good base. Age of empires II the best game of the entire series. good rts strategy
Combat arms for the pc to get her use to an online community. It's free and fun (some times).
Fallout three and the fallout line is a good way to get her use to RPG. Need for speed racing gmaes.

I just Typed out a really long 6-part strategy, when I realised - just give her a game depending what Movies she likes, if she likes action, 1st and 3rd person shooters (Army of two/halo/CoD, Anyone?), if she likes horror, give her a Survival horror, (EG: RE5, Bioshock, Deadspace...) If she likes fecking...kiddy movies...give her (Pains me to say it, its actually a pretty fun game) mario Galaxy......
if she likes romance/drama/chick flicks, well, either you need a new girlfriend, or your gonna have to give her some GOW and tell her to release her stress, then tell her the button to chainsaw the shit out of things, it will either make her immediateley fall in love with you or make her stare at you blankly for ten minutes, risky, but Sometimes effective.

Something fun and addictive. If she likes Star Wars (Shh! It could happen!), KotOR 1 is amazing. Portal is a fun and entertaining option, but please - stay away from Mario and stuff like that unless you're really into it. If I was introduced to gaming with a Pokémon game or something like that I would totally flip out, and only read books for entertainment afterwards. Indie games might be a good choice though - if you play on a console Guitar Hero is nice if she enjoys music.
Don't do anything overwhelming like Oblivion. Perhaps Fallout 3 because that is not quite as overwhelming and it can introduce multiple genres (to an extent) such as FPS, RPG, survival horror (well maybe not together, but at the start it can be challenging and certain parts can be slightly horrific), and even third person shooter depending on how she wants to play.
Perfect Dark is a good introduction to FPSs (that's how I got passable at them) and also Pokemon is another good way to get into games. But you'll need either a Game Boy (Red, Blue and/or Yellow), Game Boy Color (Gold, Silver and/or Crystal), Game Boy Advance (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed and/or LeafGreen), or a DS (Diamond, Pearl and/or Platinum).
And Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band (preferably Rock Band) is a great way for your girlfriend to get into games as well.
EDIT: Mass Effect could be a possibility, but if she decides to play it, tell her to do it as a soldier class on easy.

Does she have any actual prefrences yet?
For RPGs, she should try Chrono Trigger or FF7. 8 is a little hard to start with...
FEAR or DOOM would make a decent shooter to start with, as would Farcry.
Warcraft 3 is a good RTS.
Oh, you could try Fallout 3, too, though it might feel a little advanced for her at first.
You should also get her to play God of War or Devil May Cry 4, those are good starters for the harder/faster types of games, imo.

I'd say Mirror's Edge, there aren't really any terribly complicated bits, the most number of moves you're going to string together is three. The combat is completely optional if you're not interested, and easy if you do decide to take part.
It's short, it's fun, and it's unique.

Nintendo has a lot of extremely easy to jump-in franchises with a solid amount of good gameplay for transitioning players, but you only have an Xbox and PS3, so you're a bit limited. (I suppose you can use an emulator, but still)
If you ever see her tapping out a beat to music or could ever see her doing so, perhaps Guitar Hero? Does she like horror films? Get her something like RE. Just think about what she likes, and find a game like it. It makes it easier to get into it.

That game is so tough it beat the snot out of me... and I haven't even touched the disk.Glerken said:
