Hmm... I never thought I would come across something like this at GBATemp, lol. Especially what Wangue said: "Tell her go down to the shops and swap the DS for a nice skirt." Also, outphase. It might be just a joke, and I hope it is, but even then, whats so funny about it?
The fact that some of us actually play video games well doesn't seem to sink in a few brains of the male population. I've been playing games for nearly 10 years, and I can only think of one person that I've played with that is a better overall player than me, and that person is 5 years older.
I hope to play against all of you when the Wii comes.
Anyway for DS games, the kind of game you choose doesn't really have to do with the gender, but with the intelligence and sometimes experience of the player. If it weren't the first time she plays games I would recommend something like Advance Wars, maybe Lost in Blue, but I think something like Another Code would be a safe bet, and even though it's pretty short it's very well thought through.
Please, don't ashame yourself buying something cutesy and multicoloured, lol.
