I started playing the sims free play on my iPod touch and I have four sims in my town, autumn, veronicka, amber, and Austin. Autumn and Austin are partners, and ambr and Veronicka are partners. I found it odd that video games allow for same sex partnership, not bad just odd. And the same is with skyrim. You can marry the same sex as you.

Are there any other games where you can do that?

I don't really understand what's so odd about it. It's the way the world should be. I think that any game that allows a straight marriage/relationship, should also allow gay ones. It's only fair.

As for your question, sorry, not much of a gamer. Thebonly game I've played that allowed same-sex marriage is the Sims games.

A list of games that I can think of with same-sex relationships are:
Mass Effect 2: Only one bi-sexual relationship with a girl so if your a dude it'd be considered straight anyway
Mass Effect 3: One lesbian-only relationship, three bi-sexual relationships, one boy, two girls, and one gay-only relationship.

Dragon Age Origins: One lesbian-only relationship and one bi-sexual relationship with a guy.
Dragon Age 2: All relationships are bi-sexual.

All "The Sims" games, of course.

I believe the new online Star Wars game has same-sex relationships.

All "Fable" games have same-sex relationships.

And I believe there are some others but I can't think of them at the moment. =P
In any case I think same-sex relationships in games is an awesome thing to have in a game. It definitely makes me want to buy it more anyway. Lol =P

Dragon age origins and Dragon age 2. In origins you can be gay with Zevran or Leliana and in 2 you can be gay with Anders but I'm not sure about lesbian in that.
I'm a Loiner, apparently...

i always do same sex relationship even as a man character.
dragon age of corse, mass effect hasnt been as open about it but they do have a couple same sex romance and mass efect 3 there are two strictly same sex romanceable characters. fallout there is no romance but there are perks that kinda hint at homoness where u get to say a few special things implyinh homoness. they let u same sex romance in star wars the old republic. and ik in some online games u can get married same sex.
its not odd to me at all. its just same as odd as hetero romance to me. i like to add a romance to the story alto i could do without the akward love sense xD but theyre cool.

OMG I love games like this on the sims 3 pets my adopted son is gay and married to some guy so there's three gay guys in the same house and now they want to adopt a child but I've yet to get my main guy a husband though I'm not out so that'll make it more suspicious than it already is but anyway
To live is to do what makes you happy not others. If what you love is different then stand against the tide of "normality" never stop fighting for happiness.

You cant forget the .Hack//G.U. series for the PS2! Easily my favorite jrpg, even without the big gay wedding option.

Interesting point about the SIMS is that its new to the Sims 3 where actually gain the titles 'Hausband' and 'Wife' in same sex relationships.

But the thing with the Sims 3 is that your not one sexuality or the other. Everyone is bisexual, you have sex anygender no matter what character you are. I think it would be could if could select this in the personality profile like the turn ons/ turn offs in the Sims 2.
