From Xboxist, "Tired of getting nagged by your girlfriend about how much time you spend gaming and not enough on her? Well, why not turn her over to the dark side? The happy couple is the couple that games together.
I was in your same predicament a while back. The way I got her into gaming was through..."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

girls love it
mine went out and bought a ps3 the other day for her self
Anybody else think this article is a tad patronizing? The first couple of paragraphs read along the same lines as what you would do to potty train a child.
"Be careful with selecting her first game though. You want to ease her into the world of gaming by starting with one that doesn't have an overly complicated control scheme"
Awww...we wouldn't want their poor heads exploding under the pressure, would we?
Nintendo HAS done a great job of bringing in a wider audience of gamers which which MAY very well include a wider group of female gamers, so well done for stating the bloody obvious.
However, (and this may come as a shock to some of you) women are perfectly capable of choosing whether or not they want to do something and don't require "coaxing" in, Nintendo, along with Microsoft and Sony have moved with the times and created games like this because female gamers exist in large numbers already, maybe male gamers should open their eyes and stop making such a big deal out of it.
i think the problem isn't getting your girlfriend into gaming, but with the person who is actively trying to get their girlfriend into gaming.
If you bug her to play games don't complain when she wants to drag you to go see bridewars or any chick flick for that matter.
I'd rather she would stick to fetching beers
