judging that she is a female gamer, and not a lesbian, she'll probably need a bag for her face in public. i bet you could find a good, large, paper sack at wal-mart for $0.25. well within budget

Nothing says I love you like a new video card!

Unless she's incredibly unorthodox, she isn't going to want something practical like this. Even girls that like games don't really want a game from their boyfriend; it's probably better to get her something a bit more personal.

I'd MUCH rather a fella put some thought into getting me something I like, that's relevant to my interests. Not whatever the media is marketing.

i agree tenfold, that's why i'm so up-in-arms about getting her something. i've already bought her something sentimental, so i'm not quite sure what else would be a nice gift.

and yes i'm a guy ;_;

Fair enough. Practical was probably not the best choice of words. Of course the gift should be relevant to her interests, but I don't think just buying some game because she likes some genre necessarily shows enough thought. Someone mentioned getting something game-related, but not actually a game; that makes more sense to me. Whenever I buy a gift for a girl, I try to find something that they wouldn't buy for themselves, but they would still want it. Otherwise, it seems a bit too ordinary. After typing that, I feel really stupid. I think I've bought into an entirely superficial culture.

Regardless, $30 won't get you very far for a graphics card. If you're working with that kind of budget, better to buy her something for what she already has.

New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii.

It's extremely fun. Great for us Nostalgic types and "Newbs" too. Also, it's 4-man(woman) co-op so you and her can play at the same time... too bad it's 49.99

here's to hoping i can find it on ebay or something.

or just fucking steal it

360 Games:

The Orange Box
Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

PC Games:

The Orange Box
Half-Life
Counter Strike

I'm sure there are good PS3 deals too but I don't have one so I wouldn't know.

A dummies guide to gaming. Because she's a girl.

I'M SO HILARIOUS

For anyone who's interested, I managed to pick her up Marvel Ultimate Alliance for a cheap price and she loves marvel characters. a great find! still looking in to more stuff, any more ideas are appreciated :D

does she like condemned?

PC gamer? Wii? PS3?

PC: Fallout 3 is a definite if she loves FPS with a hint of RPG. Also CS:S is 75% off this weekend and i find it to be a great experience for the gaming couple. Check out Steam for other games. They have plenty.

Wii: No fucking clue mate. Your on your own.

PS3: Heard Wolfenstein was a
badass game.

I'd recommend Day of Defeat (SOURCE) over CSS, if only because it has respawns and doesn't work on a bases of you requiring a set amount of money to buy a weapon. But you spawn as a class instead (Sniper, Rifleman etc).

Its also £6 ALWAYS.

I'd suggest you get her Rock Band if you can afford it. I know it's not so cheap, but it's a game that never gets old and you can enjoy with her. My girlfriend loves it, and she is actually getting it for christmas.

Otherwise, i suggest a racing game( i've found my friends like those ) or like some have said before, the new super mario for wii,looks like a lot of fun.

Girls also seem to like games where you can personalize everything, maybe Fable II or the sims 3 are good options too.
Good luck!

Fuck her, I say one of you fuckers buys it for me. >:C

Way to try and derail the thread there..

But seriously DoD:S is a good game too. I had a free trial for a few days and i must say it was fun. Of corse you couldget her ANY Source game and youll be able to download a shitload of great mods from moddb.com

Get her Cooking Mama.

Get her a PC game that you can both play. The bonding and the sex following will be amazing.

i have a girlfriend

Dude, don't buy her game, get her some clothes, all girls love clothes and we both know it!

Yeah...she will REALLY like a 12 year old $10 downloadable steam game...

I have to agree, both Half Life and Half Life 2 are horribley dated to modern shooters, and while the computer she will be using is dated as well, I would recommend against it.

May I also recommend Uplink as the best Indie game of the decade? Sure its single player only but it runs on a PC with a 6 year old graphics card perfectly, you should try it out. (Also £6)

Excuse me?

I see we have come to an impass gentlemen...

just give her a t-shirt with Yoshi on
everyone loves Yoshi right?

but really, get her something that she would like. i don't think i would like to get a game as a gift from my boyfriend if i was a girl (strange sentence)
as i said before, make a papercraft for her or get her a necklace with a Heart Container on. the heart container sure is winning. it is a necklace, it got a heart shape, it's something she is intrested in. you should really get her that necklace, or an Ocarina =)

i thinking about making a something related to Final Fantasy for a girl because she just love the series.
already given away some rupees...
