Games for a Girl

[lekky]

Any suggestions? Just given my gf my old Hero and would like to get her some good games. Probably games that have the following attributes:

- fun
- easy to get into
- Can run on a Hero
- Android 1.5 BUT should be getting 2.1 soon so please suggest 2.1 games too.

She likes playing teeter as its fun, quick, and interactive, eg you move the phone.

Probably better if girls can help me out here, pre-pubescent boys probably do not know what a 23 year old woman would like to play, no offence.

Thanks all

Well I'm ten years too old, but I like such games as

Frozen Bubble
Jewellust/Jewels/Bejewelled
Abduction!

 

[MarcMaiden]

"1001 cooking recipes"
"Dishwasher dash"
"Broom Racers"


oh god am i banned yet?


I am only kidding

Labyrinth is basically a better version of Teeter so I'd nominate that.

For the start I recommend these free games:
Bonsai Blast
Toss it: Preview
Abduction!
J.Rabbit

 

[lekky]

Thanks guys, damn i've been around here too long I already know all those games, except J.Rabbit, will see what thats like.

And lmao at MarcMaiden, if I suggested anything like that i'd probably end up in hospital!

Well, I dont know about hospital but I would not be surprised if you got the "you wont be seeing me naked any time soon" look.

i find it sad that a request for game suggestions has to explicitly mention fun as a preferred attribute

Mystique: Obitus, Asphalt 5, World War.

The traditional girls' game is The Sims, so I think it's fair enough point out that that's not what he's looking for.

I just wrote a review for J.Rabbit, you can check it out here:

Farm Frenzy is a real cute game, great graphics with lots of action

It also seems odd to assume that all females enjoy the same games...

Lekky, does your gf enjoy certain types of games? That would be more helpful than relying solely on her gender.

 

[grainysand]

No, no, see, all women are part of a hive mind and enjoy exactly the same kind of thing: cute, pink-flavored Hello Kitty/Barbie-esque stuff. What do you mean, they're individuals, each with her own set of tastes and preferences? Perish the thought.

Good story, PC wise she likes the sims, dragon age, etc. Lots of customisation, spending a lot of time creating characters, playing on easy to enjoy the story line.

Thats typical girl games right? I know im generalising, but its kinda true..

Hm. Well if she likes RPG's throw Snesoid on there and have her play Chrono Trigger. Zenonia is good too.

Then of course there's the casual games like Space Physics, Abduction, and Flight Director. My girlfriend seems to like those.

i have to second (fifth?) abduction!, it's quite awesome in a simple way
