Title: what games are you getting this holiday season?
Post by: UnagiPower on October 15, 2008, 04:15:35 PM
I only have enough money for two games ($60) and I'm split between these games

left 4 dead
fable 2
gears 2
fallout 3
dead space

dead space seems not worth the whole $60
befuddlement

Gears of War 2 is a no brainer

And I would choose either Fallout 3 or Fable 2

Farcry 2
Fable 2

Only sequels bitches

Nope.  I got the first one, and I tried to enjoy it. The campaign was pretty fun, but not worth the price alone, and the online was impossible. I suck way too much at it, and I'm too lazy to get into it. That said, GoW: 2 will be similar.

ToS2

and Animal Crossing

maybe one of the new Harvest Moon games just for the sake of having something to play when I'm dead bored other than pokemon. Preferably the DS version.

That's what I'm asking for for christmas anyway, I'm dead broke :(

unless I win that contest on ns2. Then I might just piss myself and cry tears of happiness.

ok so i bought dead space (it came with a $10 gift card idort)

now i might get money on my birthday enough for one game.

I'm definitely getting Gears of War 2 so I could do some gamebattles with my friend who only likes rainbow six but is willing to play some gears 2.

So that leaves:

Fallout 3
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead

what should i get out of the three?  befuddlement

oops lol
I meant farcry 2 but I was reading over fallout 3 and I always mix stuff up when I do that.
Like in Spanish today we were watching a doccumentary about some president's wife or something and we had to take notes, and I was writing down "She spend the majority of her time as first lady helping out the poor", but the TV had moved on and was talking about the military, so I wrote, "She spent the majority of her time helping out the military". I lol'd at myself.

Anyway farcry 2 looks fucking awesome and nothing like the first one, other than the gameplay. The scenario, game engine, all the little gimmicks (fuck yeah burn everything) are going to be awesome.

There were more but I don't remember what they were. And I don't know which ones I'll get for my birthday and which ones for Christmas.

Ummm

all I really want is a 360 with Skate, GTAIV, and Banjo 3. 
Then there's plenty of games from there.

I didn't even know Animal Crossing was announced
but that's a must!
Other than that Wii sucks.
Might drop some cash on the VC but that's it.
