Start with: CALLING ALL CARS (SONY)

Shift into first with this fun, downloadable racer. Tight controls and straightforward rules - catch criminals and escort them back to jail - makes it a great tool for helping a newbie get used to maneuvering the ins and outs of competitive multiplayer gaming. Of course there's more to it than that, but with a learning curve this flat, it's the perfect spot for a leisurely drive.

Graduate to: HEAVENLY SWORD (SONY)

WATCH TRAILER NOW

Non-gamers often judge a book by its cover, so you might as well make sure they're looking at the hottest cover since last year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Heavenly Sword features some of the finest graphics ever seen in a video game, with realistic faces, incredible architecture and simply stunning action sequences. And by fighting multiple enemies at once, your partner's crummy twitch response times are sure to skyrocket.

Now they're ready for: WARHAWK (SONY)

WATCH TRAILER NOW

Sony finally scored a long-awaited win with this exciting, accessible online action extravaganza; introduce it to your special someone and you'll be a winner, too. With its interesting combination of air and land combat, Warhawk offers a little something for everyone. It's certainly not a simple game - getting acquainted with the game's multiple control schemes, weapons and nuances takes patience - but since you'll figure it out together, chalk it up as 'quality time.'
