Survey says games make a great date

02.02.2009

While compromise is critical in relationships, all bets are off once the gaming begins. Nearly 70 percent of Americans admit that if they were playing a video game during a date, they'd rather win than let their date come out on top. Surprisingly, the fairer sex is more aggressive when it comes to playing to win - more than 80 percent of women compete to beat their date during a video game, compared to 56 percent of men. With 44 percent of men planning to let their date win, perhaps chivalry isn't dead after all.

Games Lovers Play

According to Game Crazy's Valentine's Day survey, the video games that Americans are most likely to play with their significant other include:

-- Wii Sports or other sport-themed games - who doesn't want to engage in some friendly athletic competition?

-- Rock Band or Guitar Hero - it's all about making sweet music together.
