So I got my girlfriend gaming, but what can I have her play

My girlfriend loved Mount and blade (she cheated her way through but hey), my sister likes fable and loved Gun (though has so far disliked Red Dead Redemption) So really it depends on her tastes.
Absolutely this. The one girl I got into gaming was through Co-op FPS. You'll have to carry her at first and make sure not to set the difficulty to your usual level. Once she gets the hang of a game, she may start asking for advice on how to be better. That's when you give advice. Do not start telling her right away how to do stuff better! I know it's tempting to think she'll enjoy the game more if she gets better fast, but remember she needs to experience the joy of just screwing around in a game first.Ickorus said:
Try some of the lego games maybe can do co-op and not hard and infinite lives good for starting out, Id's say give some smaller titles a go like deathspank or costume quest they aren't hard but good into rpgs, beyond good and evil not hard at all
anything wehere yo can put the difficulty down alot as well just to try it if she can pick up the conrols and only difficulty is an issue

Mario Kart, Portal 1/2, World of Warcraft, Halo 3 (trust me this one works very well), League of Legends, Resident Evil 4, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Zelda n moar Zelda and Team Fortress2. Some of these may be out of her current skill level but my GF who used to hate gaming loved these games.
Get her TF2, since it is now free, works on Macs, and you can get her to be your pocket medic.Schlen said:
However, if your going to go down this road, DO WHAT EVER YOU CAN TO KEEP HER ALIVE.
So turn around to check for spies, throw her your sandvich when she is hurt, and take crockets to the face for her.
I would suggest getting her a DS and letting her try out the kinds of games she wants to play on there. If you still have a PS2 lying around then I would highly recommend the kingdom hearts games or ape escape 2 or 3 (I'd recommend 3 since you can play as a girl and it has Less items to manage). That last one has a bit of a learning curve too i but once you figure it out then it works out very well.
Fallout is a good one, and if she likes RPGs, go with either a MMORPG or Oblivion.
If she likes the shooting part of it, Half Life 2 and Left 4 Dead (2) are good.
If she's more cerebral, go with Portal or Portal 2's co-op.

I got my girlfriend hooked on games with Mirror's Edge...
...not sure how it worked, but it did!

Its curious that Fallout 3 is ok, but Bioshock is "too hard". Set on easy is pretty, pretty easy... besides, you can't die.
Portal and Portal 2 are pretty good games for starters. They spend a lot of time as tutorials and the puzzles ramp up nicely...
Another examples are Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Don't get into any even, just let her roam around (free style) until she gets used to the controls.

What's wrong with Assassin's Creed???!!! :/
Also, if she liked Fallout, try something other Bethesda games. I'd try with Bioware (Mass Effect 2)
