    I had a fairly good haul this year, i got outrun 2 and fable on the xbox, and moh: pa on the pc. Fable is cool, but i dont like the way they rush you through the opening childhood stages, it really feel like theyre pushing you into the adult part, aside from that, it seem class.
    Outrun 2 is excellent, i got the original outrun on the atari st for christmas in 92, now this year i have outrun 2 and its just as fun, all arcade powerslides and ferraris, a class act all the way. Havent installed moh: pa yet as i was too busy drinking

    I did very well - my sister got me Donkey Konga while my brother got me Paper Mario 2, and an Xbox for himself which means link-up in the house now.

    Games-wise, just Paper Mario 2. I also got cold hard cash (straight into the DS fund!) and Princess Mononoke on DVD (Go Amazon, it delivered on Christmas Eve!). Might pick up Final Fantasy Tactics Advance when I go back to work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭Deadwing


    I wasnt really mad about FFTA, i dunno, it just didnt grab me at all :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    a ds with chokkan hitofude, wario ware and mario 64 ds, donkey konga and the flu.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,189 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Paper Mario 2 for the gamecube and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty


    Paper mario 2 and Tales of Symphonia, just started playin PM2, its pretty cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 920 ✭✭✭elvis2002


    Got a PS2 Slim Line, FFX-2, Agent Under Fire, ICO. I'll get myself a GC soon when the price goes down and i can finally play Zelda on the gc.

    Don't bother unless you really want a Strategy RPG game and have played all the good ones on the GBA already. Shining Force and Fire Emblem are far superior games.

    Pikmin 2 is brilliant. Can't stop playing it which is a bad thing because i'm going to beat it really quickly. Still there are the co-op misiions that I can play with my brother.

    Pikmin 2; Havent had a chance to give it a shot yet but if its as good as the amazing first pikmin then I'll be very very happy. Also F zero GX; very fast and er.. confusing but not as comfusing as warioware which I tried at a friends last night. Was playing drunk and stoned and had some very strange dreams last night; "lick lick, squirt, squirt, cucumber". good (baffling) fun. also a big pile of books and a couple of DVDs.

    Good haul all in all


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,400 ✭✭✭Vyse


    Half Life 2 and Paper Mario 2. Also got a few cheap and cheerful ones from EBay - Headhunter Redempetion and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Don't know why I got the later, I thought Sons of Liberty was one of the worst games I ever played. I'm hoping for a bit more from the original (fingers crossed).


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    GBA SP with F-Zero GP and Tiger Woods 04.
    Zelda WW, F-Zero GX and Donkey Konga.

    Where can you get a second set of bongos? Everywhere seemed to only be selling them with the game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I think Lik-Sang has them. Look for the Tarukonga controller.
    EDIT: linkified


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Stormfox1020


    Games wise, I got The Getaway: Black Monday, Pro Evo 4 (xbox) and Ghost Recon 2 (xbox). Other than that i got all 3 seasons of Family guy on DVD, and the usual clothes, aftershave etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    I got Call of Duty: Deluxe Edition, Half Life 2 and Rome: Total War - can't play them till I get back to my better PC in Dublin, I don't want to be disappointed by installing COD on my old PIII machine here in Galway.
    Can't wait to kill hundreds of Nazis and Aliens. I was just saying to my younger brothers that between the three of us, I am confident that the total number of Nazis, Undead Nazis, Hell Spawn, and in particular Aliens killed since our Commodore 64 back in the day must be in the tens of thousands. They really could have used the three of us on D-Day! Would've all been over in half the time (so long as med kits were hidden throughout France and Germany, of course!)
