10 Gateway Games
The title of 1up.com's feature is Top-Ten Girlfriend Friendly games, but the titles they suggest are generally intended to get a non-gamer interested in the gaming passtime. From the article: "...it is possible to bring non-gaming significant others over to the dark side, through a number of games designed to grab those who couldn't care less how many frags you got in Counter-Strike last week."
Oh, and the article in question is a troll. Most of the suggestions are sexist. All girls are not the same. My little sister is a "girly girl" and yet could hold her own in goldeneye, perfect dark, etc on the n64. Now she plays halo ocationally, im no fan, but shes not bad. Funny for someone who doesnt even know what the buttons are named.

Yes, flamebait. I'm baiting people to go "no! its not sexist! all women really really do like the same top ten games!"
