Hi all,

I'm building myself a new PC, and passing my old one to my GF. The specs are Athlon 64 3000+, 512MB, Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB.

I'm trying to think of some games that I could also supply her with to get her started into the PC gaming scene. I'm not sure if she'll like FPS games (although I will try!), and she's not really into The Sims.

I was thinking along the lines of RPG games, as they can have some good story lines that she can get stuck into, but as I'm not really interested in them, I'm not sure what to get!

I had thought of KOTOR (she's played Lego Star Wars on her sister's PS2 and quite enjoyed it), and possibly Morrowind (as I remember that name cropping up), but I really am lost as to what else I could suggest for her!!

I have a copy of Vampire: The Masquerade Blood Lines that I picked up for a few quid soon after it came out, but never played, so I'll pass that on to her too.

Anything that can be suggested I'll pass onto her and she can have a look for more details and hopefully I can get her involved in some proper games, not just the flash-based "shoot the coloured bubbles" or card games she currently plays on websites.


Cheers!
 
She's got The Movies (well, her sister has) and has played it a bit, but on her laptop, which is a bit slow - I'll definitely install it on the PC for her as it should run quite a lot better.
 
Dont give her morrow wind. It is a hard game to get into and if you played oblivion first almost impossible. I stupidly played oblivion first. i wanted to enjoy morrow wind so badly and knew that it aws one of the best games for a long time but the lack of voice acting, dull senory, terrible graphics compared to oblivion and lack of guidence put me off, then something new game along and i put it down.

Not a good way to get a girl into gaming lol.

Id vote for monkey island. My sister really liked them.

It was only £15 for the special edition, which included both games.
