I'm looking for a recommendation for a game that my girlfriend and I can rent and enjoy playing this evening/weekend. We're in our mid-20s, and she HATES war/fighting games or FPS shooters (please don't recommend RE:UC or BWII). We have Mario galaxy, which is not really cooperative playing, but is along the lines of a fun, light-hearted game we can both enjoy. Any recommendations?

I dont mean to sound immature...but surely you and your Girl should- no i'll leave it lol.

You could try Geometry Wars: Galaxies, some good fun there, co-op or against eachother.

You could also pick up a GC game.

Pick a short game
Finish it as fast as you can. Then you know ^_^
However if you are looking for game titles
I think Mario Party 8 might do the trick

Zack & Wiki isn't a true 2 player game, but a second player can operate another wiimote looking for clues while the main player navigates the main character. It's a funny, quirky game you both might enjoy.

I'm not sure how Endless Ocean local 2 player works, but from what I have seen co-op online is possible. Maybe someone that has a game can tell if there is a split screen option for two players. Might be another good option.

I am also fond of Carnival Games, if she can enjoy skeeball, shooting hoops, strength testers, ring tosses, then this game could also be fun. Great light-hearted carnival action.

I'd probably go with Mario Kart for the Gamecube. Otherwise, maybe Mario Party or Cooking Mama or something. There's not much in the way of good local multiplayer Wii games.

Well, if she doesn't like violent FPS shooters, I suggest Mario Party 8, or Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. Wii sports is good too. Great way to have fun and stay active.

I'd go with Wario Ware too. We just rented it last night and it's a good time. Download a complete save file from the Internet and load all the multi-player games.
