Games to play with your fiancé

While the opposite is certainly not true it is very likely that a girl gamer has got a gamer boyfriend, fiancé or husband so what's better than playing games with your beloved one?


Little Big Planet (PS3): This would probably be my 2008 GOTY with Gears of War 2.
It's an awesome game/platform to play with your fiancé and up to other two players, just in case. Playing it on your own is very fun but co-op is probably funnier. Cooperation is good in that you can help each other overcome obstacles, reach prizes and points (bubbles) and so on. There are also a few parts that can be only

Gears of War 2 (XBOX360): Gears is addictive. Its style, the story, the characters, everything pushes you to go on and on. By playing co-op one is Marcus while the other plays Dom. It's very good per se and really fun to play with your mate!
Once the main story is over the Horde is another addictive game play, it's definitely one of those games with a very long life, you don't just play it and you're done.
We haven't explored the other features yet, Horde wave 20 at hard mode is not easy to overcome! Challenging, fun and addictive!

Bionic Commando (PSN): this is a lot of fun and very well done, the peculiar game play makes is definitely worth it and it's nice to play co-op. My only complain is that the final level (and it's hard to get to it) is totally insane!!!

Castle Crasher (XBLA): well this is an easy one but really it's fun. The graphic is lovely, very well done, levels are well built and it keeps being challenging. We finished it 3 times to unlock "cuter" characters!

Grand Turismo: Prologue (PS3): this is a great game to play with your fiancé and actually the whole family (my dad loves it!) and you can challenge all the others to see who gets the best lap record.
Of cours arm yourself with a wheel: it makes it 10 times the fun and it's much more playable by those not accusomed to the pad too!

Rainbox Six (PC): While the latest installment, Vegas 2, let us a bit down (a bit too buggy, I also completely lost my character in mid game), this is a co-op classic and the very first shooter me and my fiancé played together.

Warhammer 40.000 Dawn of War (PC): this is great in co-op because you can either collaborate against the computer (what's funniest than seeing Chaos & Space Marines collaborate against the AI?) or you can play against each other with your own techniques and tactics to overcome each other!

Burnout Paradise (PS3): well, it definitely is fun and also funnier if you race with your beloved one! One can host a game for up to 8 players or you can just play and race just you two challenging each other to see who's the faster or who's the smarter in choosing the best streets or shortcuts and so on!

Army of Two (PS3/XBOX360): while this wasn't such a big game it still was moderately fun to play with my fiancé. Well, the story is not one that you will never forget and so the characters but still a few entertaining hours of gameplay. It's not at the top of the list but if you're in a "low" moment of co-op games can still fill the gap ;).

Brain Training (PSP): not a "true" game with capital G but still it's nice to challenge your mate on the various subjects, while he may be better in maths you may amaze him with your fantastic reflexes (and training yourself half an hour everyday to give your best for the challenges it's not cheating, it's being competitive!).

HOME (PS3): well, lets' face it, HOME is cool and it is cool that you can meet there up with your partner and share the experience. You can play together several games: chess, checker, billiard, bowling and more to come!
Moreover you can also have fun re-creating yourselves as HOME avatars!
