When I met my girlfriend I would have never guessed that she would like gaming. On the outside she is very girly and likes shopping, getting pedicures, etc.. On the inside however she is a pretty hardcore gamer. When we first met I didn't really let her see how much of a gamer I was because I was shy. The first time I went over to her house I stepped into her room and was not ready for what I saw, she had probably close to 50 Wii and GameCube games. Now we aren't talking like Wii Sports and DDR. She had Metroid, Zelda, Resident Evil, New Super Mario, Mario Sunshine, and many more. I was instantly head over heels. Over the 6 years that we have been together we have played so many games together but I enjoy just watching her play more. The reaction on her face when she figures out a tough puzzle or beats a difficult boss is priceless. Right now she has been playing Alice: Madness Returns on my PS3 and she is blowing through it really fast and I have enjoyed helping her figure out how to kill bosses without taking much damage and solving the puzzles. We recently finished Epic Mickey 2(it is no where near as good as the first one), we are currently thinking of what to go to next. So, do you guys game with your significant other? Were they a gamer before you met? I am a believer that gaming together builds a stronger partnership.

Well, I guess I kinda expressed my thoughts on this Smiley

Its so great to game with a significant other, even cooler to be surprised by their mutual interests.

I completely agree that it can strengthen relationships, and I'm glad you found a true gaming 'Holy Grail' !
 
I wish my wife would play more. She pretty much can't stand them outside of Mario Party. Which is oh so fun for me since it's the only game she plays and she kicks my ass every time.

Fortunately, I live out my gaming through my children. My son is 5 and has his own 3DS and the Wii and PS2 are also in his room. He's in like world 5 in Donkey Kong Country Returns! On his own! That's more than I can say for when I was 5. I had an Atari 7800 that was left over after my older siblings had moved out. Which is fine especially since the SNES wasn't even in existence when I was 5 but not the point. And my daughter is just 2 and 1/2 but enjoys her LeapPad just fine and does try out the 3DS when he isn't playing.

So while I can't spend any quality time with my games AND my wife, I at least can enjoy them with my kids. In time, hopefully they will get her to play more since she can't say no to them.
