    Herself got me the bundle pack Wireless Controller with Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda for Xbox.

    Its ok, had a quick blast on Indiana Jones, will do for some mindless gaming.

    She also got me a Monopoly set, yay! Some ruthless board game dealings will be going on.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    No games, but vouchers for game stores


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭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...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭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.

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


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


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


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,421 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    wished Id gotten left for dead :(.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭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?

    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).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,421 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    prince of persia anygood?

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