    Does anyone have any suggestions for fun games to play together with a gf? Specifically, for the Game Cube, which is the only system I have right now.

    What are some fun 2-player Cube games?? We recently bought Super Monkey Ball 2, which is fun. However, what we'd really like is "a cool, RPG-like two-player adventure game where you have to figure puzzles out together" (her words). Any help would be much appreciated.

    instead of blackjack, try 69.

    or Dead or alive, chicks dig fighting games.

    Not on GC AFAIK. :(

    I'm more of a single-player type gamer, so I don't pay much attention to games designed for 2 or more people. Maybe the Mario Party games? Or DDR/Donkey Konga type games? Final Fantasy CC sounded like a RPG designed for 2 or more people, but I don't think it was very good (for FF standards anyway).

    edit: Eh...FF:CC got some nice scores actually. ~80%

    Crystal Chronicles was decent, the big downside to it is you need Gameboys to play with more than one person.

    Pikmin 2 is a fun puzzle type game but the 2 player mode is Vs. only.

    Yeah, that's ridiculous. What a blunder by Square. Too bad -- if not for the Gameboy requirement, FF:CC would be exactly what we're looking for.

    My wife and I used to enjoy playing Primal Rage years ago. it was a fighting game where where you and your opponent would each select a dinosaur and your dinosaurs would fight.

    I got it...how about Tales of Symphonia? RPG with real-time battles that allows for more than 1 player (4 total). Great game too, like other Tales games.

    My female friends have always somehow liked playin Super Smash Bros. The other games like Madden, they just sit, watch the guys play and complain incessantly.

    The Lord of the Rings games are cool for multiplayer. My wife actually liked playing that one.

    That came to my mind as well. I have it, but haven't really played it much.

    Mario Kart is popular with my girl and our friends.

    I haven't found a single game on the GC that my wife enjoys (Mario Sunshine is the closest). The only video game in general she likes is "Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?" or online "Jeopardy!" I really need to teach her how to play a MMO or something.

    My wife only likes the ONE-on-one combat games. Proves to her if I am an a-hole, or she's smarter than me. Either way, I lose... but later I WIN ;) .

    smash bros, nintendo sport games, super monkey ball double pack, mario kart.

    those are some good multiplayer games off of the top of my head.

    If you want a multi-player rpg type game, eh, tales of symphonia might be okay, haven't tried that as multi-player yet though.

    What IS good though is the xmen legends games. The first one is a 20 buck game now. co-op beat em up with a rpg level up system.
