Top Ten Games to Play with your Non-Gaming Girlfriend (or Boyfriend)
We've all been there: you're taking down that last Big Daddy in BioShock when you feel that evil eye cast down on your shoulder and pause the game to look up into the bored and annoyed face of your significant other. A common pitfall that many gamers may face while dating a person that isn’t a gamer. Try telling them the plot intricacies of the latest Final Fantasy game or about the ridiculously difficult final boss in Heavenly Sword and you’re likely to get a sigh, a shrug, and a subject change. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can turn gaming into an experience that you can share with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), regardless of their gaming experience. Here’s a list of ten games that are easy to get into and smashingly fun for couples:

 

Super Mario Bros.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you should know who Mario is and will have undoubtedly played what has to be the ubiquitous plumber’s most well-known adventure. The game pioneered the platforming genre, presenting video game action in the purest form, simple to play yet wildly addicting for people of every age. Gamer or not, there’s a good chance your better half has played this game, and still has great memories attached to it.
