Video Games For Valentines Day
The Sims 3
Is your partner ready for domestic life? Act out all of life’s future dramas, virtually, with The Sims 3. Will he spend all day playing computer games? Will she decorate the house in pink lace? Will you both forget to feed the bird until it’s too late for Mr. Polly? You may not like the answers you get!
Street Fighter IV
Resolve conflicts in a safe space with this fast-paced fighter. One well-placed Hadouken can win the game and solve that eternal question: Who’s doing the dishes tonight?
Lego Star Wars I & II
Playing on the same team is good. Playing as Han Solo and Princess Leia on the same team is fantastic. Each character has their own special talent, and you and your loved one have to work together to solve puzzles and fight the forces of evil.
Shadow of the Colossus
The story of a young man taking on impossible odds to save the life of a young woman, this game is so lonely and romantic you'll have to cuddle on the couch just to keep from crying.
World of Warcraft
Life together getting a little dull? Spice things up with alternate identities. She can be a sexy Blood Elf healer, he can be a brawny Orc warrior (or vice versa!), and together you can slay dragons and even overthrow kings.
Mario Kart Wii
Oh, you think your relationship is strong, do you? See if it can withstand a banana peel perfectly timed to thwart a winning run around the racetrack. Fortunately, turnabout is fair play, and by game’s end you’ll both have a lot of making-up to do.
Catch X-Play weeknights at 6:30PM ET/PT only on G4.
