Games for the Girlfriend

post #1 of 18

Hey all,
My girlfriend needs a/some new game(s) for her laptop. Here are her specs:

Dell E1705
Dual core 1.66GHz processor
2gig 533MHz RAM
120gig HD
NVIDIA 7900GS

she enjoys playing the Sims (has every expansion and stuff pack available), and has recently reverted to playing the Diner Dash Trilogy, Finding Nemo, Oregon Trail (yeah the one from oh say 1993), and Big Kahuna Reef.

She's beginning to get bored with the Sims, already beat Nemo, Diner Dash can only provide so much entertainment as is the case with Big Kahuna Reef. So basically she's running out of entertainment.

We need ideas for relatively simple games that you think a 19 year old girl with ADD would enjoy.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I will refrain from what I was going to say........

I would have thought anything in the FPS line would suit someone with ADD,as you don't have to really concentrate that hard...what about some of the Tomb Raider series....Legend was pretty good,would probably appeal with Lara Croft being a kickass female and all.

It would be interesting to see the responses in OT moidock,but then I suspect that was the basis of your suggestion lol

A lot of girls I know like RPG's. If she's not into online RPG's like WoW, she could get Oblivion or something like that...

I mentioned zoo tycoon to her, and she looked at it, bust wasnt that interested. She's also tried sim city and didnt enjoy that either. I dont think Oblivion would be for her...she's not huge on FPS's...there's possibility for an RPG but it would have to be tame.

Keep the suggestions coming!

By tame do you mean regarding subject matter or easy to play/uncomplicated?

No no easy to play/ uncomplicated--though I dont think she'd appreciate F.E.A.R. as much as I do....

So I guess both..but ease of play would be more important rather than content

How about Portal? It's essentially a 3D puzzle game, and it's pretty easy, at least from the demo I played.
