I had a very good Xmas, seeing as how I got a plethora of great games.


The Orange Box (PS3)
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) (since my pit bull ate my last copy.)
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)
Assassin's Creed (PS3)
The Wii Zapper w/ Link's Crossbow Training



'Twas a very, very nice holiday, indeed.



(BTW, Lana & GK, I looked for similar threads, and found nothing. Sorry if this turns out to be a dupe. )

I didn't get any

I only got a couple, Bioshock for the 360 and Magical Starsign for the DS.

But I also got a gift card because my family really has no idea what games I have and what I don't...that and I have a ton of games that I still need to finish anyway. Wireless adapter here I come!

I still haven't done Christmas with most of my family yet anyway so I might end up with a couple more.

I really wanted Ninja Gaiden Sigma SE, but it was totally out of stock at both EB Games in my area.


I also forgot:

I received the Playstation Eye from BlackSunshine. It's too cool.

Hi-res Mugen.

A PSP

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP)
Silent Hill Origins (PSP)

Metroid Prime 3 (Wii)

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
Contra 4 (DS)

Assassin's Creed (360)
PGR4 (360)

Technically I got Call of Duty 4 too, but I got it a couple weeks before Xmas.

Oh yes, I also got Mass Effect as an early gift.

Only a month or so left until I get my income tax return and I can buy a 360. droolio

Imp you're not a mod anymore?

I got Halo 3, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and I guess that's it. But I also got me a 360!

No one cares if you don't have LIVE.

I'm still a moderator, but not a Global mod. I merely moderate the Movie Discussion Forum, and the related genre forums.

This, the VG Forum, is Lana's and General Kaliero's turf.

Well, you don't play them all at once. You play one, then the other, then the next and so on. All these games should last quite a few months.

I figured that much...but I only play a game for a week or two each day until I beat it and then I don't have time to play the game. I make time. I made time to play Mass Effect for two weeks for about 42 hours. (39 hours the first time though and I added another 3 hours for various other things I spent doing the game and about 30 minutes for the second play through I have done so far.)

Indeed. These games I received for Xmas should keep me from buying any new games for at least 3 months.

Oh, I won't need to buy any more games for a good long while.

Not like it's going to stop me.

Anyway, my giftcard and Christmas money just went to getting me a wireless adapter for my 360, Overlord, and Oblivion. Woohoo for taking advantage of buy 2 get 1 free...I figured if I don't like Oblivion (I've played before but didn't care for it too much, but figured I may as well give it another chance) I'm not losing anything as it was free.

overlord? hehe i quite enjoyed that game, it gave me some entertainment, altho i wont spoil anything if your enjoying it

No joke. My dad bought me some video games from EB. He bought The Orange Box and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction used and received Resistance: Fall of Man free (I had to re-buy it, because my pit bull, Walter, ate my last copy). Assassin's Creed, however, was new.

i got a PSP for xmas, came with Daxter, Family Guy and 1gb card and got Loco Roco too

I got Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, and Godzilla Unleashed. Also dvd's of Robocop 1 and 2, and Critters!

Halo 3
Gears of War

early Xmas present: an extra Wii-mote

Xmas:
Rayman Raving Rabbits (Wii)
GC Controller
GC 251 blocks Memory Card
RE 0 (GC)
RE 1 (GC)
Metroid Prime (GC) droolio

... and I'm still waiting for the Wii-Zapper to arrive

Man, Metroid is such an awesome game, been playing nothing but since I got it (though I occasionally pop in Rayman RR just to loosen up a bit).

I bought MP3 Corruption like 2 months ago, but decided to let it rest for a while until I finished MP and MP2

Bump for Xmas 2008!

I got Call of Duty: World at War (PS3), Little Big Planet (PS3), and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3). No Wii games, since nothing is out right now that really catches my attention.

Life is sweet.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have video games to play!

I got:
Gears of War 2
Mario Kart Wii

Both superb.

I generally don't ask for much, so I just ended up having a new 360, and the games for it include:

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
Soul Calibur IV
Halo 3

Of course, I'm gonna get Bioshock, Fallout 3, and what not later on, but I don't like having too many new games at once, as I prefer to beat the ones I already have before getting another.

Just plugged in my 360 to my TV too. Now to decide which game to play first..

I personally got Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. I tend to prefer 40K, but i'll give it a shot.

My brother got the new Tomb Raider and Left 4 Dead (played it for a little while, not bad at all)

My sister got a Wii, with Zelda, Wii Beach Sports and a few other games. Spend most of the morning playing Wii Sports, though.

I never got any games but used the cash to order guitar hero world tour

I got a Wii a couple of weeks ago, which was basically a Christmas present from myself. I also got Guild Wars Factions, Mario Party 8, and Portal so far. I've only done Christmas with my immediate family and I think I'll be getting at least one more game.

Rayman Raving Rabbids....time to buy myself a late christmas gift.

Left 4 dead
Dead space
Sonic unleashed
Prince of persia
Gears 2
Mirror's edge
COD WAW
Fable II

Fallout 3 (360)
CoD: World at War (360)

Had a good haul this year.

DS:

Chrono Trigger
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

PSP:

Crisis Core

X360:

Silent Hill: Homecoming
Dead Space
Fable II
Prince of Persia

PC:

Call of Duty: World at War
Red Alert 3
Left 4 Dead

I also got some Microsoft Points, which I used to buy Braid, Geometry Wars 2, and Duke Nuke 3D.

Who the hell gets 10 games for X-Mas?! Grats, Backfire. We here in the normal world only get 2-3 max.



Wrath of the Lich King
Gears 2

Didn't ask for the latter, but my brother's a Gears junky and wants to play with me. I'm not an FPS guy, but as long as it's a good game, I'll enjoy it.

I'll also be buying Force Unleashed soon with post-Christmas money.

Left 4 Dead

Unfortunately, this was the first Christmas in a long time in which I didn't get a video game.

I'm comfortable with my current collection, though.

Damn two more games then me!

ive still a few to come but so far:

PC

Sacred 2
Medieval 2 total war Gold edition (includes Kingdoms expansion)
Frontlines fuel of war
Dead space

PS3

Ratchet+clank tools of destruction
Resistance: fall of man
Prince of Persia (new one)

Wii

Animal Crossing City Folk

Ds

Sonic Dark Brotherhood
Megaman ZerkerXNinja

Nothing.

I bought bling-blings and an Infiniti instead.

With the massive games released in November...I didn't get any for Christmas. I'm still playing Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 5, and migh start Fable 2 and MK vs DC in January.

I got Gears of War so far, but I might get something else from my parents. Haven't spend Christmas with them this year.

None...

$30 gift card for Gamestop is all.

I might get The World Ends With You, apparently that's pretty top notch.

Got little big planet, Left 4 Dead, Saints Row 2, Resistance 2, Web of Shadows and Pure (which despite the ratings is not fun at all...)

MKvsDC, Resistance 2, and Gears of War 2.

What can you buy for 30 bucks at gamestop...?

Bioshock and the two Resistance games.

Plan on getting Fallout 3 with money I got.

Fallout 3, Saints Row 2, and Bioshock.

On a side-note, Resident Evil could learn from Bioshock on how to make a survival horror game.

If you want to have an even less scary game, then ya sure.

Survival horror games aren't scary anymore. They're just slow and dull...

Left4dead,
Farcry 2,
Prince of Persia.

Can't play them for a couple of weeks. Looking foreward to it.

Oblivion
Call of Duty 4
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

Survival Horror games have never been scary. Silent Hill got close but meh. I like the way survival horrors are going. The more RE4 type games there are the better.

Tomb Raider: Underworld.

The one incredible bad thing about it (So far) is the fact that we're eight games in, not including Anniversary, and they still haven't sorted out the areas that needed fixing on the second game (Because I allow for mistakes in first games). Ones where the camera is your worst enemy and Lara happens to respond to every semi-slight nudge of the stick with paranoid on crackhead-levels, causing you to fall off a cliff.

It does admittedly feel, besides that, like this is the next-generation Tomb Raider everyone who loved the first four (Cos 5/Chronicles was shit) was waiting for. It's just a shame that it came after Angel of Darkness, Legend and Anniversary. The very former being unacceptably shit, Legend being a game I haven't played and Anniversary being a remake that was beyond unnecessary.

I'm happy with it so far, though. It's essentially what Death Magnetic was to Metallica. Except I can't work out if it's actually brilliant or I'm just comparing it to the previous shit outing.

We'll see.
