    So, gamers out there, what games are on your wish lists for Christmas.

    Personally looking at the ad's for The Sabateur I think I may be investing in it.

    So what are y'all looking for?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,142 ✭✭✭koHd


    Forza 3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    Uncharted 2. I've wanted to play this for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,142 ✭✭✭koHd


    Just realized I assumed I'm getting Forza 3. But really it's whatever herself gets me. But I was hinting a fair bit on Forza and playing the demo non-stop. Then again, she's not so good with hints!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    So far:

    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
    Little Big Planet PSP

    I'm really happy :)

    Dragon Age is brilliant, you'll love it.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,839 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I've been hinting at my brother to get me a boy and his blob or muramasa: Demon Sword but I bet he gets me assassins creed 2 or batman arkham asylum :/

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    Borderlands and Dragon Age on the PC from Santa.

    I'll probably pick up a few games on Steam for myself too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Was asked to list something I wanted as we're doing a Kris Kringle thing at home this year, so my list comprised of:

    Get me one of:
    Left 4 Dead 2
    Borderlands
    Forza 3

    It's my birthday on christmas day too, so fingers crossed for one or all of the above... ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    I want a new copy of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as i never got to play it. I think Amazon is my only hope after xmas as it seems be out of print.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,985 ✭✭✭pvt.joker


    COD2 and Assassins Creed 2 :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 424 ✭✭Walsh

    Getting an Elite with Forza 3 and Fallout 3 GOTY with a wireless adapter for €290 in game .

    Advice to any RROD or disc drive failures : IF you get the RROD or a disc un-readable message on your 360 bring it to game . Say you got it there and that its like the 2nd time its broke . My bro done this 5 times until he sold his xbox . Though you really should buy from game in the first place.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,757 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Also possibly mass effect.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 863 ✭✭✭Jilm


    I was just going to get the new Dragon Age DLC...

    ...however with the Steam sale, so far I've got the Eidos Collector Pack, Grand Theft Auto IV, Mirror's Edge, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and I know I aint done yet :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 39 Jaybl


    Got myself Operation Flashpoint 2. Looking forward to going through the campaign with my brother online. Im a sucker for anything coop. I completed army of two around 6 times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    TR: underworld and I treated myself to the saboteur, which i quite enjoyed. Oh and a bunch from steam due to the sale. Still quite looking forward to playing Tomb raider tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭sarumite


    A second hand copy of inFamous....I got MW2 and U2 in november so don't need too many games

    Sounds like you need Borderlands

    A great entry into the Zelda series. Well worth it.

    I'm thinking of getting Dragon Age. That means getting my PC set up again. It's a solid rig but it's basically in pieces back at the folks house at the mo.
    Other than that I'm in the mood for something a little less BANG BANG *explosion* !!!Betrayal!!! *BANG* *KAPOW* Space marines: kickin' ass, chewin' gum. So that leaves me with **** all choice. Maybe I'll get that new Sherlock Holmes game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭docdolittle


    I'm getting the sabatour and Dragon Age :D Gonna get myself M$ points tomo too and get a few arcade games to treat myself ;)

    I just started mine up too, wtf, possibly the longest install i've had on a game yet! And it's only supposed to be 2.5gb!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,909 ✭✭✭sarumite

    The multiplayer is surprisingly good....if you have a game save from the original uncharted you get an additional 20k bonus and if you have a compelted game save its 100k bonus


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


    Closest gaming related thing I got was a ice-cube tray shaped like Space Invader aliens :D Oh and my brothers old computer (which has been sitting unused in his room for best part of half a year).......well, when he bothers to copy over his stuff and wipe it anyways :rolleyes:

    Damn publishers pushing game releases till after Xmas, now I have to go and buy them myself :mad:

    No one game. How many hints do I have to drop :/ I got all the Police Academy films on DVD instead. I hate Police Academy as well.

    Oh dear, my condolences! I don't think anyone needs to own a physical copy of Mission to Moscow.

    Got Disgaea 3 (which I'll get around to once I put another 80 hours or so into Disgaea 1 - love the games), Zelda Spirit Tracks and Left 4 Dead 2 (I have already been left incapacitated mere steps away from the getaway car after filling up the petrol tank for my team. Ah the joys of co-op).

    Tell me about it. It's just ridiculous. It's like I came out as a nerd and they won't accept it. Every year I just don't get anything games related but this year police academy is like a kick in the balls :/

    Haha my brother got those two. Spent the whole day playing Assassins Creed, says it's a superior game. He got a really cool black Assassins Creed t-shirt with the game aswell. I'm not even into gaming but I'd wear it myself, it's unreal!

    Same here. No games. Not one. Disgrace. Not even a voucher for a games store.

    As a result my family are available right now on adverts, I'm willing to trade for a family willing to buy games.

    (also, at least the first two police academy films are decent)


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


    Santa brought me Forza 3 collectors edition and Wet. Will probably pick up some games during the sales aswell.

    Trade in the boxset against Bayonetta (which, lets be honest, is probably better than any game you would've gotten anyway). You may only get a tenner (if you're lucky :pac:) but you can consider it a moral victory of sorts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Rael


    I got Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2 and the God of War Collection for the PS3. I also got Left 4 Dead 2 for the PC, looking forward to playing that tonight :)

    I spent my Bayonetta money last night on booze :( Maybe I won't drink on new years :/

    I got Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and lots of World of Warcraft-merchandise. All in all really awesome gifts - been slaughtering zombies, stabbing virtual italians and starin' awestruck at my new WoW-figures for the last few days. Seems like I'll have to buy the God of War-Collection myself, though.
    Also, much sympathy for the Police Academy-boxset-guy. Really not what a gamer would want fer christmas...
