Splinter Cell Double Agent is awesome. Rainbow Six Vegas is also great, Gears of War is an obvious choice. She might like Viva Pinata, depending on if she liked Animal Crossing. Saints Row is a great GTA-style game.

Neither one of us has never played Animal Crossing but Viva Pinata does sound interesting. Saints Row is another one that does sound good but Scarface is covering that right now. Leaning toward Double Agent, Condemned, Dead Rising, Call of Duty 2 and/or Gears of War

Good choices. Though I will caution that Condemned is very short and has little replayability. Although it's probably pretty cheap now, so that might not be a biggie.

Ended up getting Dead Rising and Hitman: Blood Money. It's taking her a little bit to get used to the 360 controller but she's really enjoying the games although she did say that going from the pacing of Scarface(getting thrown right into a gun fight) to the pacing of Hitman and Dead Rising was a bit jarring at first.

She reads comics also! I'm a verry lucky man.

Indeed.

My girlfriend just doesn't get video games or comics, though she does like Final Fantasy and Fell a lot, respectively. So it's a start I guess.

Damn, can't believe I forgot Hitman. That one was fun.

Was the "clothing dynamic" in the game all it was cracked up to be? I remember GameInformer making a big deal out of it....

Like the clothing engine, for disguises and whatnot? They said it was revolutionary.

Wasn't really any different than previous versions that I noticed.

Hmm, weird. Their review made such a note of it I thought it was going to be something REALLY cool.

I do think it's the best version of the series. But, I wouldn't really say anything about it was revolutionary.

I'm dying to play it. Damn my only Xbox360 owning friend for joining the Marines!:mad:

Choosing to serve his country rather than letting me rent new games and try them out?:no:
