    Four Swords is an awesome game...but you need some gameboys along w/ the gc to play it. But its fun as hell.

    Super Monkey ball's another good one. And you probably can't go wrong w/ just about any Mario game.
    I'll also add Ikaruga, it's both fun and challenging...very challenging.

    Halo's also a great one to play w/ a significant other :D but of course it ain't for gc.

    Puzzle games tend to be a big favorite among girls. And I heard that the Nintendo Puzzle Collection game includes a remake of Tetris Attack, hands down the greatest puzzle game of all time.

    "Playing Smash Bros." is code between friends and I for "getting layed."

    Carry on.

    I think you mean Mario PARTY. And, it's only fun if you LET her win without her knowing. Trust me, you both win in this situation. ;)


    This made me laugh my a** off.

    Maybe I'm thinking too perverted.

    Tales of Symphonia is slow in the beginning and tedious at times. It's still a fun 60 hour game, but 1/3 of that seems like a cheap gimmick to stretch out the game. The fighting, which is multiplayer, isn't that deep. It seems tacked on because it's designed to be a single player game.

    I think Zelda 4 swords is the game you're looking for. If you buy one with a link cable included, you can find a used Game Boy Advance (the original one) for around 30 bucks....This would also let you play Crystal Chronicles which can be found for 20 average. If you have the hardware and people, both games are well designed and entertaining.

    Hack and slash games like the Lord of the Rings series, Baldurs Gate, and Gauntlet can be found cheap, but they aren't deep and only serve as a decent diversion.

    Mine likes Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, but hates Smash Bros for Game Cube

    For x-box she likes Burnout Revenge, The Guy Game (Triva with boobs) and Fusion Frenzy..

    Her favorite game is Donkey Kong on NES though.. she loves it to death..

    My g/f and I always played Diablo II together. She liked the idea of building a character and going through quests and the best part to her was getting stuff for her character. To her it was like accessorizing.

    We played silkroad together for a bit but the game got way too repetitive.

    We play Solitaire Showdown on MSN a lot. She likes SIMs games and even though I don't play it, it allows her to do something with her time so I get to play my games.

    We recently played X-men legends together. She lives wolverine cuz Hugh Jackman played him but her biggiest complaint is that the wolverine in the game doesn't look like him. I don't have the heart to tell her that it's Hugh that doesn't look like wolverine :D

    I'll echo the Mario Kart sentiment.

    Yeah, move to PC. My gf picked up World of Warcraft, and really likes it. If you start, give me a private message here on these boards, my gf and I, along with some "real life" friends, can lend a hand to help ya out :)

    I'm actually trying to get my wife into WoW. We've had trouble finding time to play the last 2 weeks but hopefully we'll be able to get more time in. Not to derail the thread but what server are you guys playing on. I am currently on Kalecgos playing Alliance.

    So did I. The sequel, Um Jammer Lammy, is great too. Unfortunately, it isn't on the Game Cube.
