So my gf got me a 360 for bday/xmas, and she wants me to get her some games for Xmas. I have no idea whats around in terms of 360 games. There are 2 types of games she likes (using the only ones she played on xbox as examples):

- Single Player RP like Knights of the Old Republic/2 specifically (she re-played them many times over).  They need to be "finishable" like KOTOR, unlike GTA in which she like but got stuck at certain points and couldn't finish.

- Multi-player and SIMULTANEOUS player i.e. either split screen, or both players on the screen at the same time, like Halo, Balders Gate (from memory).  Not fighting games like Mortal Kombat or ones that have overly complicated button combinations or rules. These ones we play together.

Obviously I have already bought Halo3 for us, but that's about the extent of my games knowledge lays so I still need to get her one for herself.

Please help!   Or she might not give it to me!

Mass Effect, from the makers of KoToR and tons of replayability.

Great game. Quite easy, very good story and characters! Highly recommended (although it has an action oriented combat system, contrary to KOTOR which is turn based).

Okay I like that sounds of everything so far, the action combat may be the only thing that trips her up, I will investigate to figure out if she is okay with that.

Thanks for the info!

ps shodanjr_gr your forum join date is exactly 1 day after mine, freaky that.

i personally loved blue dragon (which no one has mentioned yet). it was made by mistwalker studios, which was founded by some of the people who made final fantasy 7. also, there is no such thing as too much guitar hero. its a bit expensive once you get the 2nd guitar, but its well worth it.

Thanks for the replies, I am buying a few mags to check out reviews for mentioned games.  Mass Effect looks like a winner.

Regarding Rock Band (which is not out here for a month or 2), is the singing component similar to Sing Star on PS2?  i.e. not quite as deadpan as regular Karaoke.   Because we both enjoy that (after a few cans), and I know I'd enjoy Guitar Hero (which IS out), so I will probably wait for Rock Band.
