My wife who is your standard I have zero interest in a game completely owned me in Donkey Konga last night. Not only was she better at it then I was, but she became so addicted she completely tuned me out and refused to even let me play. It was kinda frightning to see. She got so consumed by it she was doing the whole reset retry at blazing speed. I know she is going to be playing all day while I'm at work too. Also forget the reviews the game rocks.

My wife destroys me in Karaoke Revolution. She sings so much better, it's not even funny. Then again, I'm better (much better) in frantic rhythm games, like Frequency/Amplitude, but she's very competent, probably even a bit better than I am in Space Channel 5. I was also a bit better at Donkey Konga at the kiosk when we played, but she tends to start off pretty bad in most games, but becomes much better really quickly.

My sister, who plays no games at all ever, once got SO addicted to that stupid Crazy Taxi mini game where you jump off a ramp and see how far you can land that she would have got the high score in a UK magazine if she'd bothered to send proof in.
Remarkable. I wouldn't even have the patience to do it. Girls also seem very good at puzzle games. I'm not sure why, the male brain is supposed to be better at rotating objects and the like, which is what a lot of puzzle game consist of, but they sure do love them.
It was so fucking funny when I beat my ex and her friend on a DDR machine though. m and my mate were watching them going "Hey, they're pretty good" and they both got Bs. We step up and get As. The reason it was funny as that we're such terrible dancers ahnd they always think they're so good. They probably are too, I'm convinced we only get higher scores because we treat it as a game and didn't sway about and stuff.

My wife completely tunes me out when it comes to either Sims (anything), Medal of Honor or Silent Hill series.
Although Medal of Honor is fun to watch with her playing. Every few minutes you hear her yelling at the TV....
"FUCKING NAZIS!" usuall in anger after they snipe her off...
"Die you piece of shit nazi assholes!!!!" After she unleashes and dispatches a few with her machine gun.
If she sits down with either game, for get about it. Shes done for at least 2-3 hours. Sims especially.
Strange part is I cant get her to play any of my stuff... Halo, Riddick, etc, etc.
But I do have her hooked on Burnout 3 now.

I love playing my girlfriend in four swords. She gets so pissed when I throw her into a pit or something or get her killed and steal all her force gems. It's great

My girl only plays GTA: Vice City, and Max Payne. I can't get her to ever play anything two player with me. Here's hoping for multiplayer GTA:SA.

Same here, that was such an awesome game to piss off your better half. I kept reminding everyone that I was "Asshole Link" and I kept getting dirty looks.Justin Bailey said:I love playing my girlfriend in four swords.

Yeah my girlfriend won't play videogames with anyone but her neice/newphew and myself. She isn't very good at them so she's too embarrased for anyone else to see her play.
She did a quick RPG stint with Lineage II (but got bored after lvl 16 because the game is horrible), loved Halo deathmatch, enjoyed Metal Gear Solid: TTS which encouraged her to play some Splinter Cell (which she also enjoyed), etc etc.
Now her new vice is Donkey Konga and I'm pretty sure I'm going to order another pair of drums soon.

Actually I know a girl into anime and games. Her favorite game is Chrono Trigger, as well as the PS2 sequel, the name escapes me at the moment. Actually she says every summer, she plays through it, and she can beat CT in 3 days now
Insane eh?And I know you suckaz want a pic:
Crazy, huh?
Is this like, new for you guys? I mean, come on.. I know lots of girls who are into games and anime and stuff.. Actually, my girlfriend is pretty awesome when it comes to games... She is on 81% of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence with only 8 hours on the clock, which is, to my standards, pretty good.
She also managed to kick my ass in Burnout 3, but not that I really am into racing games. *where is a rolleyes smilie when you need one?!*
And yeah, she is also into anime and stuff.... It's like girls are aliens, when it comes to gaming and the likes, how some people react over here...
By the by, Li (that's her nickname, not here though), is also awesomely good at the Mortal Kombat games.... Now THAT stuff is frightening, she even kicks ass in Doom 3... God, how I love her!! But, luckily for me, Dante doesn't really exist... She'll have to do with Vash then... *insert rolleyes*

The last time my and my guy played a game cooperatively together was when the Turtles game came out last October. We played through a few levels and that's it. He never would play FF11 with me (level span reasons), and I have no intrest in playing WoW. I even went out and purchased Hot Shots 4 and asked if he wanted to play with me, but he would only play the single-user mode games and that's it :-( At least he unlocked all the characters for me.
Maybe if I stripped nekkid he'd play with me again...

My girlfriend as absolute no interest in games generally.
BUT, when she was young, she used to play super mario bros 2-3 with her two sisters. Once, I took my SNES back from the closet grave and hook up The mario collection. She then passed both mario 2 and 3 in a single sitting. I swear she lost about 4 lives in mario 3. She just knew everything by heart.... Amazing stuff. After the moment passed, she looked at gemes the same way she always has... like dog's pooh.

1) There was no PS2 sequel.
2) Chrono Cross.
3) Hit that shit, you flacid skank!

I guess it's just a conflict of interest, so try and find some games he would like to play together. And by the looks of it, he is just a sore loser, only wanting to play co-op games and the likes. Strippin nekkid is a last resort though, so if everything else fails...
If my girl would do that, I would do anything (gaming-related anythings
) she would want me to though! AlphaSnake said:
Unfortunately, she's super religious. When I found out, I asked her if she'd seen Passion of the Christ since that was just released at this time. She said she'd like to see it, but then again she doesn't like R rated movies, well mainly because Passion is really gory apparently.
Anyway I then asked her if she'd watch an R rated movie without violence, and she said she's not very fond of crude jokes and swears either...
I'm so fake around her :lol

^ Fucking hell, she is the spit of my cousin. Stop perving on my cousin! She's only 15.
I got my goddaughter and her twin sister to successfully play Timesplitters 2 when they were 4. They never play games, and they managed dual analogue controls. They were shit n all, but they were managing to move around and point the gun in the right direction and stuff.
I was so proud.

And even i am moderately surprised
"I feel your pain there. I don't know how my wife does it with that game. AW1 was the game that made her want to get a GBA, along with Megaman Battle Network. She wipes the floor with me every time we play Advance wars. "
well, the warning signs were there - i think she made Rank 5 or rank 6 in the game... she just played it solidly.

I got sniped many times by my girl in Halo on Xbox... Really, she just loves to shoot the crap outta me. This one time, at band... oh wait... No seriously, one day when we were playing Halo with four people, I managed to get a shot at her and she fell down into the void at that asteroid thingie level.
She was not so happily surprised and shoved me of my seat! Telling me I shouldn't scare her like that!
It was funny though, and she really is quite the competition. Great gaming with her! ^_^
Btw: DCharlie, being good at Virtua Cop and Time Crisis is just plain scary. You don't keep a gun in your house do ya?!

Sounds like you guys are pretty piss-weak at the simple yet strategic games.
So far the girlfriend only regularly beats me at certain games but usually only happens when her friends play at the same time. Usually that revolves Mario Kart or something similar like Smash Bros where chance comes into play. Lately she's been trying Ridge Racer Type 4 since she hates the "slowness and weird controls" that is Gran Turismo 3. Hasn't beaten me yet but with practise she might.

Speedpop, ooooorrrr it could be that our woman friends are, this may sound REALLY crazy, GOOD AT GAMING?
No. It can't be, they're girls. They should be in the kitchen baking my ass a pie and on their knees giving me a mind-warping BJ while eating said pie.
What the hell was I thinking? Silly women...

Outside of the odd puzzle game victory, the only game that my wife beat me at with any kind of regularity, and this was inexplicable... was Timesplitters 2. And only when she had the rocket launcher. Every other weapon = victory me - 100's of times!
Glad it was a rental.

You just use any USB headset, like Socom's or whatever others that are available. Also, first KR was being sold in two versions, one with headset, and one without. I bought one with the headset, and the second game I bought without, of course. Also, there's an actual USB microphone being sold that you can use with the game (it looks like a regular microphone, not like headset)
