What games will you be playing over Xmas?

Setun

What with the few weeks a year I get to actually enjoy a few games uninterrupted approaching rather quickly I thought I'd get a seasonal discussion going. Can't wait to give metroid 3 (Wii) a bash - the gf wouldn't let me buy it over the last month or so. Also Mario Galaxy, played a bit of it the other week and dying to play it.

Dregon

Getting FF tactics on the PSP for Christmas, so will be spending most of my time playing that.

Ciaran500

Uncharted, Mass Effect, CoD 4, Halo 3 and hopefully finish off PGR4.

Might revist some games too on the run up to Christmas to keep me going.

Tusky

Still haven't finished Bioshock..just started playing it again. I'm on the Arcadia level...is that near the end ?

Once I finish that I'm gonna pick up COD4 or HL Episode 2.

Uncharted, COD4, the orange box.

CrazyTalk

The Orange Box, Mario Galaxy, maybe Guitar Hero 3

johnny_ultimate

Barring some unforseen circumstance...
Mass Effect, Metroid Prime 3, Assassin's Creed.
Ye lucky dogs with the experiences of Orange Box and Super Mario Galaxy awaiting you! Prepare for happiness!

And also just picked up FF12, and doubt I'll have played through that before the 25th. [controversial] and would you know it, but Im actually very much enjoying it [/controversial]

tman

Not too sure actually... I'll prolly only bring my Wii down home with me, so collecting the rest of the stars in Mario Galaxy and getting around to finishing Metroid Prime (still stuck on the last boss battle)
Ordered Drake's Fortune for myself, so I'll get stuck into that after Crimbo, and I have Jade Empire to get started on as well (Mass Effect rekindled my love for Bioware games...)

CiDeRmAn

Uncharted, Mario galaxy, Orange Box, COD4, Zelda PH, Medal of Honour Heroes 2, Manhunt 2, probably a lot of picross and sudoku on the DS!

MooseJam

CoD 4

Cravez

PC: Orange Box, Settlers IV & S.T.A.L.K.E.R (all on my new rig!)

PSP: Monster Hunter Freedom 2

and if I finish them, GRAW I and II, been putting them off for ages, and World in Conflict.

Ah you've got a good bit to go. You're about a third or half the way through.


Hopefully I'll be playing Blacksite and Unreal Tournament 3. I'm currently playing STALKER, so that too.

The Witcher.

Oh yeah, I've still got that to go back to... I might wait until the 1.2 patch comes out though, as apparently that will improve the loading and saving times. (loading times aren't too bad for me, but save times really started to piss me off given how frequently I quicksave)

Makaveli

Finish Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and Halo 3.
Then try and start Mass Effect and give PGR4 a proper go.

Clover

i'll be playing cod4 multiplayer mostly and plan on getting back into bioshock . after that it will be pgr4, mario galaxy , orange box and some halo 3.

FunkyChicken

Orange Box PC (though I can't actually find it, it's somewhere in my apartment)
I might also try and pick up a copy of the Witcher too, but only if I get through everything else on this list

I also recently got a PS2 for the first time so I've been getting a few RPG's and others from ebay;

Also have a DS, so will probably be looking at

I have 4 and a half weeks or so before going back to college, so I'll try to shoehorn in as much as possible, then finish the rest off when college starts again and I'm waiting for Smash Bors/Mario Kart/Okami Wii/No More Heroes/whatever comes out on the PC

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles sounds perfect for you.

Forza 2 - im addicted to that game
Guitar Hero 3, this may be my new addiction if its as good as 2.
Might stick on the wii and play some zelda - looks crap on the hdtv tho

ionapaul

I'm gonna be playing (all on PC):

-COD4 (getting it as a prezzie)
-Battle for Middle Earth 2: The Witch King of Angmar (just finishing this now)
-Company of Heroes (once the above is finished, have had it since summer but no time to start)
-Team Fortress 2 (really enjoying this)

Hopefully will finally finish some other games languishing about...Painkiller, Oblivion (almost finished it last year, stopped when I moved to Australia and can't bring myself to load it up since returning), C&C:TW and Deus Ex. A few months ago I finally played PoP:Sands of Time for the 1st time, loved it, played and finished PoP:The Two Thrones immediately afterwards, installed PoP:Warrior Within but really hated the 1st level...should I bother playing it through?

Damn!!
