"Girls *do* like games..."

My girlfriend came up to stay with me for the weekend, and during the 5 days she was here, I bought the latest issue of OXM. I was going to wait 'til she'd gone, but I was in town so thoguth I'd get it.

I was quite happy to leave it in the bag and sort it out after she'd gone, but no. She sees that Indiana Jones on the cover and wants to play.

So we get back, load it up, and she's great. She managed to to the first whip swing thing before me, and took great delight in beating those two blokes about the face with a spade. There's going to be no gardening implements in MY house, when I get one...

Anyway, I have to go to some lectures on Monday afternoons, so I leave her to her own devices for a bit, only to come back and find her playing it again. But she's stuck on the bit with the water pool, and doesn't know where to go.

She likes the mini-games in NHL Hitz 2002, as well as punching people in the face in Rocky. AND she's not a minger.

Damn I'm lucky...

Don't know whether Rosalind is going to be happy or p!ssed off when she see this posts. She's always complaining about equal rights in gaming.

Girls do like games. I've had my girlfriend hooked on starfox, mario bumchime for a little while, Mario farty pour, the sims, and yesterday she came home with a dance mat and Britney's dance beat.

Maybe you should actually get out and find a girl, And don't just stay with "all men"

Wow, never though girls would like games...
The only people i know who play games are all men, no girls...

My gf is addicted to Tetris, gun games and she loves the PC game Alice.

She played Crash for a little while and stuff - I'm gradually getting her onto other games. ;-))

here's a tricky question. could you beat a girl at say Halo, she's driving around in a tank and you haven't put rockets on ? ? ?

She wanted to try out PGR, but she was crap.

Buy her Edge...

Yes, the one with the v@gina on he front cover... some very good girl gamer articles in there..

Just don't let her play any driving games!

;-)

Actually there are many girls/women out there that love playing games. Most of my PR contacts are women and a lot are really into games!

This certainly has its advantages ;)
