    What games do you plan on playing over the christmas break?

    I have got a huge stack of old games to play so i have 2 in mind to finish during the break:

    For the ps2 i have yet to play Okami and Silent Hill 2 so will try to finish at least 1 of these.

    For the DS, i will be sitting by the fire playing Anno 1701:D.

    Then there will be bouts of Pro Evo 2008 for the Wii with friends and family.

    Oh and i'm sure ill continue on in my quest to trawl through GTA 4 as well, its been going on far too long already...

    Got a big stack of games recently, but most are single player games. Fallout 3, Prince of Persia, Banjo Kazooie (XBLA), Mirrors Edge (nearly finished!).

    I'm going to my parents house for christmas (with brothers, their wives/girlfriends), so the party games will come out. Scene It: Box Office Smash, Rockband 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour will all get an outing....

    On the DS, I'm still playing Chrono Trigger (can't beat that bloody Zombor boss, but I'll keep at it).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    Fallout 3 (really enjoying this)
    LBP
    Proffessor Layton
    Far Cry 2

    with some gears online if its lucky.

    If I get through that I'll bring the ps2 over and have another crack at ICO. I actually got bored of it after about 15 minutes....

    ....I'll get my coat....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    It looks like I'll be playing Gears 2 and Fable 2 on the 360, and probably lots and lots of left 4 dead on my PC.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,856 ✭✭✭Clover


    I'll be playing a mix of LBP , Fallout 3 , Mirrors Edge on the PS3 and Gears of War 2 , that Banjo game and Crash Mind over Mutant on the 360.

    So did I mate. Got stuck a few times too. But the reward for your perserverence is a thing of beauty. Keep it up.

    I just got my PS3 so I got MGS4 at the moment (Enjoying it like I knew I would-back off haters), then I have Fallout 3, Valkrya Chronicles and LBP (not my thing but I wanna see what all the fuss is about).

    I also have Motorstorm 2 but Im trying to sell that. Also I need to get my hands on PES2009. If anyone knows any good bricks and mortar deals on it?

    Also have a copy of Golden Axe that I'm playing through (yes, I'm the one). Not as bad as was made out to be but actually quiet hard.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,396 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Broken thumb so nothing but RPGs for me. Tried FPS last night but it's too painful :(

    So for me it will be Shining in the Darkness on the saturn, finishing Lost Odyssey, enjoying Valkyria Chronicles and possibly a bit of Breath of Fire 2.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    DS:
    Prof. Layton (i've already started playing it actually)

    Is it anygood?my friend got it for me for xmas :D sold out everywhere :O


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭TinCool


    Probably Solitare or Minesweeper for me this festive season. Won't be at home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,721 ✭✭✭Otacon


    LBP
    Left 4 Dead
    PES 2009
    Far Cry 2
    Whatever other games I get for Xmas...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Yeah its pretty good actually, lots of puzzles

    i know, its pretty much impossible to get these days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭Ostrom


    Finally getting around to buying a PSP, so I will be amassing what I can, so far I have (on my list)

    FFVII Crisis Core
    Liberty and Vice City stories
    Locoroco
    Silent hill origins
    God of war
    Everybody's golf 2
    Megadrive collection

    Oh, and settling in to do world tour (guitar) on expert, hopefully


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,726 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    I want one for FFVII: CC and Metal Gear Portible Ops (The first one cos I think that is the one with the storyline).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Going to finish Fallout 3, replay Fallout 2, and if I have time I'll try my hand at the Wii version of Okami to see how it fares against the PS2 version I managed to, er, misplace.

    I'm halfway through Call of Juarez again (this time with that lovely DX10 patch), I'll finish that off too.

    TF2 has a scout update in a few weeks and just came out with spy and Engi Buffs.

    Sins of a Solar Empire just came out with updates and the Entrenchment Expansion has entered Beta for pre-purchasers, so yay me.

    Might run through HL2e2 again. The last battle is much easier after you realise turbo-boosting the car into hunters and chucking logs at their face is highly effective.

    And that should really be all. I plan on getting some books over christmas that walk you through the constuction of your own 3d graphics engine, so I'll get cracking on that.

    Don't bother with FFVII: Crisis Core. It's bland at best, **** at worst. Get yourself some Jeanne D'Arc and FF Tactics, superior games in everyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Probably Gears of War 2 and Burnout Paradise on X360 plus whatever my family get me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 864 ✭✭✭Jilm


    Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm Of Zehir.

    I'll probably replay Mass Effect or The Witcher. Maybe some Civ4.

    We get it Retro! I am not going to pass up the chance to be in the FF7 again, find out more about Zack and the Midgar-Wutai war.

    I fully intend to get FF Tactics.
