Games of Our Wives: The Sims 3
Like the other guys, I’m very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who tolerates the amount of time I spend either playing video games or writing/talking about them. And like a lot of… non-traditional gamers, my fiance plays some casual games on her iPad (yes, I’m marrying an Apple-user) every once in a while, but with [...]
Games of Our Wives: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
My wife’s gaming habits are strange. She likes point and click adventure games like Myst and Monkey Island. But she also likes puzzle games like Zuma and Angry Birds. However, on certain occasions she’ll gravitate towards a game that I had no idea she’d love. When she first played New Super Mario Bros. on the [...]
Games of Our Wives: Red Dead Redemption
Most of the games our partners play are fairly casual titles. The easy to get into stuff like Angry Birds, Bejeweled, Diner Dash, and the like usually dominate what little time they may devote to games. So when my wife said she wanted to try out Red Dead Redemption after seeing an ad on tv, [...]
Games of Our Wives: Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4
Currently in the game industry there is a motto of “Is it a classic and/or well-loved story? Make it a Lego game!” The lovable wizard Harry Potter was the latest to get the brick treatment in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4, and when Amazon had a buy 2 get 1 free sale I found this [...]
Games of Our Wives: Monster Dash
The games of the App Store continue to copy and one-up each other more and more, which makes it hard to sort through the rip-off clones vs the great games that improve on tried and true gameplay. I wrote off Monster Dash at first as just a Canabalt clone, which happens to be one of [...]
Games of Our Wives: World of Zoo
Saying my wife dislikes video games is like saying people who are lactose intolerant get uncomfortable after ingesting milk. Her disdain for my beloved form of entertainment has all the power of a post milkshake diarrhea blast and if she had it her way, the medium wouldn’t exist. Boy was I surprised when she walked [...]
Games of Our Wives: Tales of Monkey Island
About a year ago, I bought a software compilation for the Mac that included all the Tales of Monkey Island episodes. Little did I know my wife would discover that game a few weeks later and hog my Macbook for the next couple of months. I decided to ask her a few questions to find [...]
Games of Our Wives: Zuma
One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my gaming life was buying Zuma on Xbox Live Arcade a few years ago. My then girlfriend, now wife, became addicted and it was hard for me to get any gaming time for myself. Then I sold the 360 to get a PS3 and I was [...]
Games of Our Wives: Angry Birds
It’s amazing how much of a fight some people will put up against spending 99 cents on a game. But such is the every day screening process of browsing the iPhone App Store. If you’ve been in the App Store at all in the past few months, one of the games that just won’t drop [...]
