Alright as the title says, suggest some games for my girlfriend.
She just picked up a 360 for herself today and she isn't a hardcore gamer, definitely more casual affair for the most part. She does enjoy Halo and will likely pick up a copy of ODST.
Aside from the obvious titles like Viva Pinata and Scene It, she does enjoy Fable 2 a lot as well.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The new season of 1 vs 100 starts up soon. That should be a winner.

Give her a 1600 point card and let her try out the demos on the Arcade to see what she likes.

Yeah she loves 1 vs 100 so you are correct that one is a winner.
I'll probably buy her a points card so she can get some arcade games because I think she'll enjoy a lot of those.

Seriously, GameStop sells for $4.99 Sega Superstars Tennis, but it comes with Uno, Feeding Frenzy, Pac-Man Championship, Luxor, and some other game. It's the set that used to come bundled with the Arcade. I just got a 360 and got this game, mostly for Uno and Feeding Frenzy. Such a great value.
As a female gamer, I would suggest the Viva Pinata games, Blue Dragon, Kameo, and even Puzzle Quest, if she likes Bejewled and role-playing games.

Peggle! Or the Popcap pack vol. 1 or whatever it's called, since it includes Peggle. Then prepare for the addiction. It's one of the few games my girl plays.

That's because it supports 360's cam, and she is seeing someone else. :applause:

Splosion Man is one of the only games I can get my girlfriend to enjoy... give that a try.

My girlfriend and I enjoy playing Castle Crashers together since that's co-op.
Age of Booty is okay too for two if you like strategy/board games. Same thing with Carcassonne.
Way too many XBLA games are able to be misinterpreted as virtual sexual puns.

Games I've seen chicks dig:
Lumines
Castle Crashers
Caracassone
Settlers of Catan
Peggle
All are XBLA games.

Lumines.
My GF plays this for hours on end while I am at work.
She also likes Ninja Gaiden, Smackdown vs Raw, Street Fighter IV (she's better than me), Marvel vs Capcom, Rock band, Left 4 Dead, and she LOVES army of two and Rainbow Six Vegas.

I'll second, or third the Arcade discs. An uber cheap way to get a bunch of great games. And Kameo is an awesome suggestion.

I dunno, this is a bit more (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/00000000-0000-4000-8000-0000584108b3?cid=SLink) but at least they could both have some fun.
My wife really likes Silent Hill: Homecoming (then again, she was ALWAYS a SH fan). She also likes peggle (duh), uno (get the arcade comp. pack if you can), Ticket to Ride, Are you smarter than a 5th grader, and Trials HD.
In other words, give her a points card, and have at it. (That's my wife's avatar in my sig)

Don't forget the Namco Arcade disk. Cheap used at Gamestop and is a lot of fun! Puzzle Quest recommended above is a really good call as well. Battlefield 1943 might be fun too since she likes Halo.

Hasbro Family Game Night will be $20 @ Best Buy on Black Friday. That could be a good one to get, consider the 7 games on the disc sell for $10 a pop on XBLA.
The music games (I prefer Rock Band and Lips) and Scene It are good of course. Peggle and Puzzle Quest would be great. Definately lookup those arcade discs that have Peggle, Lumines, etc. on them.
See if she likes Castle Crashers and Braid via their demos. Really just have her look through the Live Marketplace under Game Demos and Arcade (for the trial versions) and see what fancies her interest.
