Its only about 8 bucks and my girl seems to like it. Very laid back and simple to play. Here are some reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/flow?q=flow Another game to look into might be Sonic. While I have not played it sonic generally seems to be similar to the mario Bros games or you could always get her Harry Potter.

I'd describe it as a real-time action rpg, but I'm hesitant to say rpg because of the connotation. Imagine an improved version of Gauntlet with upgradeable characters, weapons, magic, etc. The visuals are nice and it's pretty fun i've really got into the game as of late. I think it took her about 14-15 hours to complete it, but then you can play as either a scout, mage or warrior so she completed it as a scout and is now trying it as a mage. Should be pretty cheap now too as it was a launch game.

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,531 0 113 Jun 26, 2007 #6 There really aren't any "easy", family type games on the PS3 yet. There are a number of inexpensive downloadable games that are at least interesting. Go Sudoku and Lemmings come to mind, as well as flOw, which I loved but it is very short. Graphically, flOw is very impressive yet simple, and the game play is unique. There is only one action button and all movement is handled by tilting the controler. You can also download a bunch of the demo games, most of which are good to showcase the video capabilities. Genji in particular looks great; probably one of the best looking I've seen so far. Too bad the game is so frustratingly uneven - relatively easy during levels only to become nearly impossible to finish the level.

Its almost a cartoony twist of mario kart and twisted metal but extremely toned down since its a downloadable game that is cell shaded. I think it was 10 bucks or so.

The GF was interested in Guitar hero rock the 80's. It’s PS2 so it won’t showcase the PS3's vid capability but she might enjoy it.

mike c Audioholic Warlord Jul 27, 2005 9,514 0 113 Manila Jul 8, 2007 #20 well, I bought two PS3 games yesterday ... haven't had the time to install yet. I was supposed to get marvel ultimate alliance and Full Auto 2 (racing with guns!), but when I checked the marvel game, the disc was off the case, and it was the last stock, so I picked up resistance instead. now I realize I hate FPS games, and especially monster FPS anybody have invulnerability cheats?
