I have an Xbox 360 and I want to play a fun and easy game with my boyfriend. What should I buy? I tried a racing game and all I could manage was running into that walls, I'm not so good at that stuff but I want to participate in his hobby.

You can't go wrong with Pac-Man or Donkey Kong.
-
You could get a boxing game, those are always fun with two people. You also might have fun with Guitar Hero. I've never played it but I hear that girls like it. >8P
-
Buy Ms.Pacman from the xbox live arcade. It's the easiest game i've ever played on my 360.
-
That's sweet! Guitar hero is dorky, but probably fun with two people. Also, you could try some sort of 2 player movie based game off a movie you both like - they aren't as good games, but they're definitely easier.

Grand Theft Auto IV! You can steal a car, get a hooker, beat up said hooker with a bat, and take your cash back. It's a family-friendly game! There's a game called Sid Meyers Pirates, it's kind of fun. It's old though, so the graphics are kind of shitty. I had fun with it, you get to be a pirate and you can dance with women, steal from people, and kill other pirates. And save your family or something, it's been a long time since I played it. Burnout 3 is another fun game. It's a car game where you have to make big explosions, the point of it is to crash. A lot. Madden is the best game ever, I've spent all day playing it. Though, it's not that great since you both don't care about football.

Hmmm... Try boxing or wrestling. Get a game that he hasn't played yet, so he doesn't smoke you.
-
two words for you...HA-...LO.
-
Get Call of Duty 4 and shoot anything that moves (well anything that isn't on your team of course)
-
any xbox live arcade... linux

My husband is in love with his 360 but I suck at video games. We've had a few laughs playing guitar hero (him on expert, me on easy!) but that's about the only game I can sort of get into. The shoot 'em games or car racing just don't interest me. On my own I play some of the arcade ones like bejeweled 2 though and he's impressed that I even sit down in front of a video game : )
-
Now thats an awesome girlfriend!!! Good for you. I can't really offer any good games....just wanted to give you kudos...:)
-
Why not go to a well stocked store with your boyfriend, then both of you look at what is available and what both of you will enjoy that should narrow the search quite a lot. Good luck and regards.
-
Lol, for one, I applaud you for taking the effort in trying to share a hobby with your guy! That's very sweet of you. Secondly, I know how you feel, my bf also has an Xbox 360 and almost everything he plays is tough to me, haha. I wish I knew a easy and fun game for you two! But, I had to let you know you weren't alone! :)
-
Guitar Hero or RockBand. Youll love them...
-
im absolutely horrible at video games, and i always babysit one of my neighbors who is 10 years old.. he is a video game prodigy haha..anyway i can never complete those racing games..although there is this game called 'call of duty' and im actually halfway decent when i play. it's this shooting game and its quite fun! good luck!
-
Try Bomberman. Every time I have some friends over, we have tons of fun.
-
Make up your own game. hehe
-
probly like a sims game or guitar hero you never can get enough of guitar hero or dance dance revolution or you could get army of 2 a very fun 2 player game
-
i prefer, rockband. its pretty fun, i can play it all day long. in fact my parents play more than i do.
-
There are so many games to choose from, it really depends what skills you think you can handle. If you are not good at all at gaming, i would not reccomend shooter games. Most of the players on there are merciless(i should know) and that usually takes most of the fun from the game. Guitar hero is really fun, but for less gifted players it may seem like a fury of frustrating button pressing. If your boyfriend is into sports, a football game like the Madden series, and UCAA should be great. Whatever you feel is right to buy, i would totally reccomend trying before buying. ;)
-
Try N+ - not an easy game, but bloody addictive. You can find it on XBLA.
-
My girlfriend is a Left 4 Dead nut lol she loves it and its something you can both play together on the same team. Though its a zombie game so you'd have to not mind a run and gun gory sort of game. Maybe try some of the Xbox live arcade games? If thats not your cup of tea my girlfriend also really likes fable 2, its not two player but we both compete (in a good nature) to create powerful characters and unlock all sorts of different parts of the world. Finally if all that fails hit up your nearest gaming store, get a list of games your boyfriend has and take them in with you. Tell a clerk your problem, The people who work in stores like Gamestop and Electronic Boutique are often gamers themselves and should be able to suggest similar games he'd enjoy, while still giving you the chance to see what you think of it as well before a purchase. Don't get disheartened by your lack of skills at a racing game, its a deceptively hard genre to get good at. Good Luck!!

My wife and I enjoyed Guitar Hero, we both purchased our own guitars and "decorated" them with decals and such. We also had a blast playing the games and still play up till this day.
-
It really all depends on what you are interested in. Really it just takes time to get good at games, I would say that just taking the initiative to buy a 360 and wanting to participate in with him is enough to make him happy.... I wish my fiance would do that lol but there are always games on xbox live to download and you can also check out the demos before purchasing any game on the xbox live blade on the dashboard.
-
maybe left 4 dead easy controls and it is kind of like a horror movie plus there is a girl charecter for you to play..... or sims 3

Wii is better for muliplayer and people who can't play most games. On 360 try the xbox live downloadable games. Also do they have to be games where you both can play at the same time or can you alternate? Since hes most likely always going to play better than you maybe having each of you play against the game instead of each other would be better. also look for games where you can change the settings to where one person has high stats and the other has low, that helps even out things. And which racing games did you try some are harder than others, usually racing games are some of the more easier games. But whatever games you play practice is needed, if you put in the time youll get good at most any of them, you can't just expect to be good in a couple of hours but afte a few days you should be playing pretty well at anything. Also try playing worms its slowpaced. Try finding turn-based games over fastpaced live action ones if you have trouble keeping up
-
i recomend "left 4 dead"... it never gets old and if you play on easy its impossible to die, its also not that hard to get good at
-
I was the same and me and my partner bought Fable 2. Absolutly loved it.
-
I have the perfect game for you. "Spyro Dawn of the Dragon". It's more of a kids game but I play it with my girlfriend all the time, she loves it. You both play at the same time and try to beat the levels. One of you gets to be the boy dragon and one of you gets to be the girl dragon. You should try it out.
-
depends what games he likes fabele 2 is a good co-op game to play but depends if he likes rpg, if hes into shooters army of two is a good co-op game
-
alot of couples i know play rock band or guitar hero together. they have alot of fun doing it and its not too hard if u put it on the easy difficulty. and it also can be fun if u have guests over so others can play as well.

A new one to try is Fairytale Fantasies. Basically you play fairytale characters that have turned bad and chop up enemies with a variety of different weapons ranging from lollipops to chainsaws :-D Its so funny - and although it sounds gory it has a fake blood effect. Hard to explain really - have a look around for reviews. My kids love it too. Me and my fiance play in co-op mode working together. There are big bosses to kill and different ranges of difficulty as well as loads of acheivements to unlock. Its such a laugh to play - sliding through blood puddles is great. :-D Give it a try - I'd highly recommend it. Its recommended on the following site as well www.ucanreview.com
-
Whoops sorry guys...its called Fairytale FIGHTS not fantasies. :-D
-
Try Halo or Call of Duty - that way you can both be on the same time and he can help you out ;)
-
i would definitely suggest guitar hero. i would also suggest any of the lego action games. its not dumb like it sounds. they are just little toys that go around blowing things up and breaking things. they have star wars, batman, and others. my wife plays them on my xbox and likes them alot. my wife also plays HALO 3 and "left for dead". those are a little more complicated. but she is an avid video gamer.
