Sofiztikated

Hoping to get a game from the Kris Kringle as well, I left a list to choose from

Fable 2
Grid
some for of wrestling game (haven't had one in years, should be a bit of a larf)
and a few others I can't remember now.

First year in a while I haven't gotten Need for Speed. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

Attol

I bought myself Fallout 3 on the PC for 25 squid in Game. Only played 20 mins so far so all I've done is make my character a girl with fuschia hair and crawl around a bit. Have the hols to get properly stuck into it though

and the parents got me Guitar Hero World Tour with all the instruments, just about to have dinner now and everyone agreed to give it a go afterwards, should be good craic.

o1s1n

Bought two copies of Guitar hero world tour. One for my sisters with just the guitar and then the full band pack for the girlfriend.

Then bought myself a 360 and Fallout 3, GTA 4 & Dead Rising.

Also have 8 or so new games coming for my Arcade cabinet.

Shame I'm working every day but Christmas. No bloody time to play anything!

Krieg

No games, but vouchers for game stores

TerrorFirmer

World at War and Hells Highway. Purposely left them until Christmas to stop be being distracted from exams, 'only' buying Left 4 Dead instead turned out to be a disastrous idea...

Helix

no games for me... ive pretty much got them all already tho

flyswatter

Got PES 2009, Tiger Woods 09 and Gears of War for the 360. Can anyone recommend a game cos I have a gamestop voucher? I'm thinking maybe Far Cry 2 (cos I like shooters) or maybe Fallout 3.

Especially Barbie Race 'N' Ride.

LeoGilly

Got Bioshock for the PS3. Very cool so far. Reminds me of Fallout 3 with the whole music and the whole 50's vibe.

Shiminay

There's a copy of COD:WaW somewhere in the post belonging to me, but An Post, shining examples of efficiency that they are, have lost it.

Borrowed GOW2 and FarCry 2 from a friend for the XBox (his RROD'd) and finished GOW2 last night. After being determined to not like it (hated the first one), I found it a very enjoyable game in truth. Gonna get stuck into Far Cry 2 a little bit later.

Cravez

Left 4 Dead and Command & Conquer Red Alert 3. Both for PC

Sephiroth_dude

wished Id gotten left for dead .

Stev_o

I got GH:WT set and then Rockband game for the Wii and the drums are already broken >_< orange symbol doesnt work and everything seems awfully calibrated.

Deliverance XXV

No games for me. Probably better off as I have a backlog of about ten games I haven't played yet/only played once to play. That does include Far Cry 2.
Played it once. I want to get back into it but never seem to be in the mood for it?

johnny_ultimate

Prince of Persia and Rock Band 2 here. RB2 does exactly what you expect, haven't had much time with PoP yet though (first twenty minutes are positive anyway, despite the Prince smarming it up a notch).

Sephiroth_dude

prince of persia anygood?

K.O.Kiki

None, unless PoP counts (cos it came at beginning of Dec).

Retr0gamer

It's very good. Takes a good couple of hours to get used to the battle system, which tries new things and will be either a love or hate kind of thing.

I got the two games I wanted - Fallout 3 and GTAIV (which seems to be running very well on my new-ish PC) - and two others I didn't expect. Just finished the Witcher Enhanced Edition main quest (given the 5 hours or so play I rack up each week, it took me more than a month and a half to finish it!) so will get stuck into GTA this week

Macers

Girlfriend bought me Saints Row 2...

[wipes tear from eye] bless er...

CiDeRmAn

I got Left 4 Dead for the 360 and an Amiga CD32, which is really nice!
Thanks Sis!

Well, actually, I got a CD32 controller, the actual console hasn't arrived yet!

I got Mirrors Edge which is interesting, but I'm still hooked on Fallout

CiDeRmAn

I also got a €50 gift card for Gamestop, and there are some serious discounted games out there, for the €50 I'll probably get Mirrors Edge and Fallout 3, we'll have to see.
Certainly HMV have some great deals, Katamari for the 360 at 16.99, very very good.
I saw a preowned copy of Brothers In Arms on the PS3 for 19.99 in Xtravision and Mirrors Edge in Game for 24 quid, if only the gift voucher of mine could be used like a book token, in any games store, then all would be rosy, ah well....

Anyone else get tokened up this Christmas?
What you going to spend it on if you did?

Got a Wii - will probably keep it just so I don't have the hassle/disappointment of asking the giver to return it. Sure it will be good for a bit of craic with the family?... twice a year?... maybe?

... nothing I'm exactly burning with desire to play on it, though.

Hmmm....

Epic Tissue

I got gears of war 1 & 2, farcry2 and fifa09 all for xbox

No more heroes, mario galaxy, de blob, Smash Bros?

It's a decent console if you bother looking the good games to play on it and there are quite a few.
