She used to play a lot of mario games on super nintendo, like mario world, and mario kart. She liked Finding Nemo for gamecube, etc…
she’s not so keen on all the new complex, challenging stuff, but I’m certainly not talking easy like Viva Pinata…

there’s plenty of good games on xbox live unplugged, as well as Kameo elements of power, she might like that one, my girl does.

Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy is simple, but has challenging puzzles…and is only 20 bucks! Also, you can’t go wrong with Guitar Hero II – on easy mode, anyone can play that game and have a blast.

I know they have Guitar Hero II on Xbox 360. I don’t care for many video games except the Mario ones and Mortal Kombat. I absolutely love to play Guitar Hero and its really easy to learn and gives a good challenge if you want one.

She should try the Need for Speed games.
Talk her into trying some of the more challenging games on co-op, maybe - Gears of War and Halo are good for that (let her be your sniper.)
Other than that I don’t know, I’m a girl who REALLY likes to blow stuff up - maybe if you get her into it she will be, too.

Try some live arcade titles, like geometry wars, pac-man championship edition, and prince of persia. The original Sonic is now available as well.
If you insist on retail games, you might want to check out Earth Defense Force 2017. It has five difficulty settings, so as you get better, you can crank up the difficulty. It also has some old-school charm in its relativly simple, but skill-based gameplay. It also features co-op play, so you can both play together and bond over the mass slaughter of giant robots and insects.
Kameo is alright, but the control scheme is rather frustrating and takes some getting used to, but is probably the most-platform -like game on the system.
Another good, easy-to-play multiplayer game is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It plays exactly like X-men legends, which is very similar to the old beat-em-ups in the arcade.
Also, many others will probably scoff that this, but that Pocketbike Racer game that Burger King released last year is surprisingly fun to play (and easy to get into), even though it’s a glorified advertisement. Still, it’s worth the 2-3 dollars for a used copy (which you can find at any used-games store).

Dance Dance Revolution! My x loved the game.What girl dosent like music and dancing?? Other games she could play would be stuff off the market place.Controls for the games tend to be simple seeing some of them come from back then. If she like cars I would also have to say Test Drive.you get to drive around a large island.You dont even really have to do any races.I pop that game in when i like to relax just driving around next to the ocean! I love it
