My husband and I are constantly struggling to find things to do (gaming or not).  For months, Borderlands provided that distraction.  One of the best parts of the game is the ability to do 4 player co op.  Not only did Borderlands turn into date night for myself and my hubby, it often turned into double date night with our friends over XBL.

For the better part of my marriage and a few years before it, my husband and I spent most of our time competing in MLG (major league gaming) on the Halo 2 and 3 circuit.  We were highly competitive and more serious than anyone should probably be about video games.  Not only were with competitive with the gaming world, but with each other as well.  My competitiveness was just fueled by the fact that I felt I had more to prove by being a female gamer on the pro circuit - or maybe a female gamer at all.
