    Guitar Hero is my favorite. I love army games and shoot them up games like Call of Duty, Hitman, Enter the Matrix, etc.

    I play Madden with my fiancé and I love Sims. Sometimes I play Wheel of Fortune, American Idol.

    But now I love Wii and how interactive there games are. No need to go to the gym because I does my workout on wii.

    Ahhh yes, guitar hero is great :D
    Rock Band is better though, the drumming is hard, but fun!

    I'm not sure if I have already mentioned it or not but my partner and I have been playing Fallout 3
    Excellent game, been playing it for hours and hours and are still only about half way through it!

    Another game we recently finished was Uncharted Drakes fortune. It awesome, I would definitely recommend it, it is similar to Tomb Raider but a lot more involved.
    (I have played and finished the new Tomb Raider and wasn't overly impressed... $120 down the drain :rolleyes:)

    Ahhh the drums, 1st time I tried them I used the hit everything and hope for the best approach, I didn't fail :D
    If your finding fallout 3 great(as no doubt everyone else who's played it has :D) then I suggest after that you try 'oblivion' made by the same people and played in the same way apart from its more swords and sorcery
    For me the only flaw I found with fallout 3 was that it was too short :( where as oblivion allows you to play the game indeffinetly :)

    Yeah, I play Rock Band. I love it and can't wait for the new one.

    I loved Tomb Raider the movies but hated the game. I am glad I brought it used.

    Fallout is a good game but I love the car racing game.

    Also, I buy my daughter games like SpongeBob, Hannah Monatana, etc. I platg them a lot.

    Right now I am on Manhunt. I try to finish the games I start.

    Thanks bear, I'll look into Oblivion!
    Fallout can be either very short or very long it depends on how you play it...
    So far I've gotten sidetracked by all the side missions... just finsihed doing the one at Canterbury Commons with the Antagoniser.

    I love my nintendo ds... that's where I get my 'cute' fix from... have games like ice age and rayman, it's cool :)

    Same here Liz, I love the tomb raider movies but the games leaved a lot to be desired, we finished the last one in 2 days.

    I love Left 4 Dead. Still scares the be-jesus out of me sometimes though. But I love it none the less :D

    Residential Evil and I can't think of the other game but they came out with a movie scares me. I can't play those games alone.

    Fear is pretty scary too. Lol.

    I haven't played Fear yet but I've heard good things... number 2 is out now.

    The silent hill series is quite scary.

    That's is the name of it--Silent Hill. That game is really scary. I slept with the lights on after playing that game. The movie wasn't bad either.

    Well, someone once again drug up a way old thread, but what the heck.

    Another female gamer here. Except I seem to have some different tastes. Wouldn't go near Tomb Raider the game or movie. I tried the game and just thought it was boring. Not really into shooters because it's just the same-old same-old. (With the exception of Medal of Honor, because it has a lot of interesting stuff in it. I've been told I'd probably like Call of Duty.)

    I'm mostly into RPGs and adventures. I have Fallout1&2 and haven't played them. I did play Wasteland though. I'm an Ultima fan and have been wanting to get to UIV for quite some time and just have never gotten around to it. I've got Dungeon Siege installed and keep playing it "in between" other stuff, except I never seem to get around to the other stuff. I play a Nancy Drew occasionally, just cause I like puzzles and they're short, good for a weekend. Most of what I have around is older. I had a way-old computer for a long time so collected up a lot of older games and have not really kept up with the next stuff. (I have well over 100 games around.)

    As for Oblivion, I hope you have a reasonably new computer. It has some big requirements. (I messed with my brother's Morrowind for a short time but never actually played it. I'm kind of anal and will have to do those in order. I even have Arena around, which is the first Elder Scrolls.)

    I have an 80GB Playstation 3 ;)

    I love RPG's as well, my favourites being the Final Fantasy series, particularly FFX and I Love the Final Fantasy movies too
    Most RPG's can be played for an almost indeifnate amount of time which I love, or you can take the short route and not do the side missions, making the game shorter.

    Short route? I do everything there is to do and go everywhere there is to go, and find every nook and cranny. It has taken me 300-500+ hours to play one of those -- I know, cause I started keeping track out of curiosity. :D

    Well I'm a big FPS fan, but not of most because as you say most are the same old same old. One you might want to check out that was just amazing was advent rising. The story was written by Orson Scott Card and he did an amazing job. Only downside is the story is great, but it was written as a trilogy and only part one got made(damn video game companys and their droped titels)

    Haha, I'm the same Morgaine! I have to do everything in the game, I hate missing things!

    Ironclad - Oh yeah Final Fantasy rocks ;) The new one comes out at the end of the year... we have already pre-ordered it!

    I'm assuming you're male. Just why do you have a need to challenge a female?

    Oh, and it would be nice if this thread could stick with being about "females" and not "girls." I think even some of the female posters around here think we're all young girls. No - we're not. I've been playing games since the late 70's. (In fact, I just want to laugh at that "classic game" thread cause those people obviously can't remember anything before 1987.)
