Don't introduce her to video game at such a young age. It might make her a slave to video games.

In all honesty though, I think it all comes down to how you introduce her to it. Do it wrong and she might either be a gaming addict like Pemburu said or hate it for various reasons like Ratty said. Do it right, however, and she might come to love gaming without being addicted to it.
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

Well although most people are suggesting the older games, why not start her with whatever's new in 5 or 6 years? Unless its still as violent as LoS I mean. I'm sure most of us started playing any game that was new at the time, then out of curiosity saught out the older games.

I know that not everyone is the same, but was young I started with a Sega Genesis which was still new at the time, and I grew to love games pretty naturally. Even though I grew up with modern consoles, I still went back to play the classics to better understand the franchises I loved.

Perhaps it will be the same for your daughter, just wait and see as she gets older.

There's a Castlevania clone on the NES called "8 Eyes" that isn't scary, but it's really not any good either though it does have a 2-player co-op mode where one player controls the hero's pet hawk.
