My OperaGames for couples (or singles!) to play on Valentine's Day!

There's no better way to spend the holiday that's all about love than to curl up with some sweet edibles, a great video game, and your special someone! And even if you don't have a significant other to share games with at the moment, you can STILL grab those sweet edibles and do some serious gaming!Games to play together![/color]
-
Lego Star Wars I or II (Gamecube): At present, I think this could quite possibly be the best game to play with another person. It's fun, you work as a team (which is why it is so great for couples!), and you can spend hours trying to find all of the secrets! Plus, playing this game usually makes me want to either a) watch all the Star Wars movies in succession, or b) build something with Legos! (other fun couple activities!)
- Wii Sports (Wii): I bet you knew this one was coming! Pretty much any multiplayer game for the Wii is a good bet, Wii Sports especially. Beforehand, you and your sweetheart can spend time cooing over your cute little Miis before pitting them against each other in heated tennis matches!
- Warioware: Smooth Moves (Wii): Play this game on Valentine's Day for giggle-value. Nothing lightens the mood more than Warioware!
- Rayman and the Raving Rabbids (Wii): Another game to play for laughs! Just be sure to unlock all the single-player games beforehand so you can play everything in multiplayer mode. By far the funnest aspect of this Rayman installment is the arcade-style shooting gallery, where you and a friend can team up to shoot plungers at bunnies!
- Super Monkey Ball: Any of the Monkey Ball games for the Gamecube or the Wii are surefire games for couples to play together--easy to learn, difficult to master! Plus, there are monkeys! Who doesn't love a cute monkey?
- Mario Party: Take your pick of any of the Mario Party games and you've got a wild night! In fact, the Mario Party games are great for double dates! A good bet for a significant other, the mini games are easy enough for even the lightest gamer!
- Animal Crossing (Gamecube): This technically isn't a game that couples can play together, but if each of you move into respective houses in the same town, you can mail each other little love letters and bury special gifts in the ground! (a front yard laced with pitfalls, anyone?)
- Secret of Mana (SNES): OK, this is an old game--but it's a 2 player RPG for heaven's sake! If you think you and your sweetheart can play through an entire RPG, do it! What a bonding experience!
Going solo for Valentine's Day? Hey, that's ok![/color]
I've got three games featuring characters that fight evil alone!
- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes: Oh yeah! See, you don't need a date on Valentine's Day! You can man it up and play as Snake!
- Metroid Prime: Or you can woman it up by playing as Samus Aran, the armor clad heroine that travels the galaxy fighting the Space Pirates. She's so independant and cool!
- Resident Evil 4: Talk about lady issues! First Ada Wong abandons Leon on that island with nothing but a jetski, then Leon turns down Ashley (but that's a good thing, she got on my nerves!) only to get turned down himself by that lady in the walkie-talkie! But it's all good--blasting away stuff with the infinite rocket launcher will make anyone forget about all those worries!
