Top Ten Games to Play with your Non-Gaming Girlfriend (or Boyfriend)

Top Ten Games to Play with your Non-Gaming Girlfriend (or Boyfriend)
We've all been there: you're taking down that last Big Daddy in BioShock when you feel that evil eye cast down on your shoulder and pause the game to look up into the bored and annoyed face of your significant other. A common pitfall that many gamers may face while dating a person that isn’t a gamer. Try telling them the plot intricacies of the latest Final Fantasy game or about the ridiculously difficult final boss in Heavenly Sword and you’re likely to get a sigh, a shrug, and a subject change. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can turn gaming into an experience that you can share with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), regardless of their gaming experience. Here’s a list of ten games that are easy to get into and smashingly fun for couples:

 

Guitar Hero II
With a co-op mode and a very adaptive difficulty level, this is a great game to spend some quality rock time with your S.O.
Lumines
A simple and incredibly addicting puzzler, Lumines offers engaging gameplay and a great soundtrack that most anyone can get in to.
World of Warcraft
I know that it might not seem like it, but WoW is a great “gateway” game for non-gamers, as I’ve seen many gaming naysayers become instant believers the moment they set foot in Azeroth.
