[quote name='shanyn']I was all set to give you some advice [since I'm a girl gamer, too], but I noticed you said she doesn't like Brain Age, which was in my recommendations...
The games I have for my DS are Big Brain Academy, Cooking Mama, Elite Beat Agents, and Phoenix Wright 2. I want to get WarioWare and Trauma Center for my DS [they are kind of hard to find around here?]... I tend to think my list of games for my DS [and Gamecube, and other things] is quite girly but I am betting she's just not a video game type of girl.
Quite sad. Would be fun if you could get her into Halo![/QUOTE]
Yeah, she's not, unfortunately. That's OK though because our kids (including my 9 year-old daughter) are into games - it's why I got back into console gaming at all actually. I got them a GC a few years ago for Christmas. Now, in addition to that and the DS, obviously, we have a PS2 and a Wii and probably soon a 360. However, even I am not into Halo, so someone would have to get me into that before I could convinve anyone else. I will probably be buying a 360 soon - none of the Halos will be included in any purchases I make for it (well, if I stumble on a Halo Triple Pack for $12 at Kmart maybe I'll keep it).
I do plan on picking up Cooking Mama. If I can get her to play (and enjoy) Hotel Dusk (which I have in my hands now but got home too late with for her to play) then maybe I'll move her up to something more action-y like Cooking Mama. Then we can go from there
.
I have actually seen her play Mario Kart DD because the boys made her play. That was a hoot...
