What do we get for Christmas?

[dizogg]

What are this years big Christmas games? GT5? Call of Duty Black Ops? Are either of these actually good?

What about the whole Kinect/Move stuff? Which is best? Are they actually good and have genuinely good games to play on them?

See, I want something gamey for Christmas, if its good! But i've really fallen out of the loop where it comes to games recently, I don't know what seen as decent or not!

Educate me and others who are in my position...

[Stanley]

I'm hoping to get Professor Layton & The Lost Future for Christmas. I recommend that if you're a fan of the series, or even if you don't know anything about it.

[Ivanho]

Can we presume you own all of the systems, or is it a bit pointless to recommend Goldeneye or SMG2 if you don't have a Wii.

[deKay]

I'm hoping for beer and socks.

[SM47]

I'm hoping for Fallout New Vegas, on top of six or seven Lynx shower gel/deodorant combo boxes.

SMG2;

[Yewone]

This Christmas I will be exploring Rome, visiting a post apolocolyptic Las Vegas, and tracking down a serial killer.... Happy Xmas Everyone!

[Karzee]

My Christmas will no doubt be trying to high score in NFS:HP and Vanquish, plus raining death from above in the recently released Apache game.

[Popo]

I'd quite like SMG2, think I'll have to start dropping HEAVY hints though...

...so, uh, which one of you is gonna buy it then?

[Gambit]

Games this Christmas will mainly be ones I missed when they first came out. Castlevania is top of the list.

[therearerules]

I want Deadly Premonitions. I probably haven't dropped enough hints though.

[Mr Do 71]

Can't think of any games I want for Xmas

Would really love to unwrap Far Cry 3 on the 25th.

[Down by Law]

Loads of stuff that's already out, which i thought would go cheap. So far so good...

Dead Rising 2 (17.95 on zavvi)

Fallout New Vegas (19.99 gamestation)

Castlevania (17.95 zavvi)

Medal Of Honor (tier 1 / standard is the next game in 19.99 gamestation deal apparently)

Mafia II (24.99 on amazon, kept it's value this one)

Splatterhouse (certain it will be under £20 by xmas)

Karzee, Apache is already £17.95 at zavvi. How longs that been out, 2 weeks?

with those kinds of prices buying anything other than Fifa or COD at launch seems silly nowadays.

[Lothar Hex]

I'm getting the Sly Collection from my mum, that'll see me for a while.

[dizogg]

SMG2?! I seem to remember playing that this summer? Christmas plz!

[gingerling]

My Christmas this year will be spent playing:-

NFS HP

Red Dead Redemption

Disgaea 3

Oh and I may get Halo Reach

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Monster Hunter 3

[BossSaru]

Waiting for Fable III to be sub-£20 before Christmas.

[Raff]

Not had a game for christmas since I was 11, but I'll certainly be trying to finish Deadly Premonition over Christmas. If that gets done I intend to start on Red Dead. I was abroad and PC-bound so couldn't play it when it came out and so I've waited until it's reached a PC game price.

[Karzee]

Actually it was released just over a week ago. Excellent! Cheers for the tip, mate.

Try putting F-K in the coffee?

[DjSatansfur3h]

I've gone halves with my mother on the Fallout: New Vegas collectors edition. I've also bought myself The Saboteur, Darksiders and Dantes Inferno, which will be getting wrapped up.

Not bad really, I dont usually get any games for Crimbo. I'd pick up Fable 3 or NFS: Hot Persuit if either of them drop sub £20 before Xmas is over.

[Fletch]

Hoping for Fable 3 but I'm not sure it will drop to £20 before Xmas, my fiancé would be chuffed if it did tho.

[NecroMorrius]

Every game seems to drop to £17.95 online within a month, so it's pretty easy to ask for games you wouldn't normally buy yourself but fancy a crack at.

I've added Vanquish, Castlevania, Fable 3 and Enslaved to my Christmas list.

Do you remember being excited for months and months about that one game though? I remember waiting five agonising weeks to play Sonic Spinball. That was a shit Christmas.

[Jackson]

Deadly Premonition is all I've asked for. We'll be playing the usual Wii and Rock Band this Christmas, family gaming has never been better. The increased focus on the casual market is definitely a good thing at this time of year imo.

[PikaStu]

For me, Christmas is all about cute and cuddly Nintendo games! So hopefully my other half will buy me Donkey Kong Country Returns.

I've got GT5 and Fallout NV to keep me going through my two weeks off as well...

[sprite]

Disappointed little big planet 2 won't make Christmas this year .

[carlospie]

This will be the first year in my life where I will be getting zero games

[harbey]

I love playing Fable (single player) and Rock Band (local multiplayer) over Christmas. If only they'd just release part 3 of either of these I would be sorted!

[GViper]

Your post has made me realise that unless I get a complete surprise game from someone, it'll be the same for me!
