Video Game Christmas Gifts for Your Girlfriend

Does your girlfriend think she is partially replaced by an electronic box spewing various alien creatures, or blasting weapons of mass destruction? Does she bug you to spend more time with her and less with your video game console? Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Only you can answer that last question because you know your girlfriend better than anyone. Would a few choice video games as Christmas gifts make her more comfortable spending some gaming time with you? Think about your girlfriend's personality in comparison to your type of video game. If you don't think she will get into your games, think about what's on the market that you might give her as a Christmas gift. Think of two player games which the two of you may enjoy together.
