Neztea Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow, Just when you thought the holidays were crazy. I managed to go and buy a few games.... Gears 2 BIA Hells Highway Dead Space Prince of Persia Mirrors Edge Left 4 Dead COD WAW Fable 2 Fallout 3 So now I'm in a hole with games that I need to play through out the holidays.

Nicholas-c Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow O.o Try not to play all at the same time :p The stories might merge together in your mind :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I just beat Fable II (so disappointing). I just got Gears 2 and i'm waiting for a friend to get it next week so we can go through the co-op. For now i'm playing through Mass Effect since i never finished it. In between i play some Halo 3, NASCAR 09, and Rock Band 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Seeing as I'm a poor college student, I can't buy anymore games for a while. Right now though I'm replaying Assassin's Creed.... Forgot how much I loved this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Only game I don't have yet and waiting on for xmas is Guitar Hero World Tour. Everything else I've already bought! Nice list (except COD5 & BIA) IN MY OPINION!!1!* *added because some people still can't accept it's my opinion! What are you gonna play first? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTD Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) If you like RPGs, and want a really good story paired with nice graphics, you might want to try The Witcher: http://www.thewitcher.com/intro.asp Some of the elements are a bit puerile, but it seems to work.

Sikh Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I actually transition to other games slowly, so ive been playing halo 3 since i got my xbox(got it october 20). Then decided to get Skate, played that and halo. Waited and on release day, got Gears(i love working at a game stop). Went to a friends house, beat co op there in 3 days just casual gaming in hardcore(the amount of times we died for not focusing!). Now, im playing my copy so I understand when you(Elessar) say your waiting for a friend haha. Its been 3 weeks since i even touched my copy, now yestarday we beat it in insane and i decided to now open my copy yes OPEN lmao and play. Its fun and I like the fact they came out with ANOTHER patch to actually join multiplayer faster. oh btw, Elessar, PLAY HORDE after you guys are done with campaign. So much fun!! Anyway, besides that, ive been borrowing games from work, so left 4 dead, cod waw(multplayer only), and a few other older games. I will buy casually as i get paid every 2 weeks.

LingeringSoul Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I started playing Fallout 3 a few weeks after it came out, and now the game has a hold on me. I think I'm almost at the end of the main quest, and once I'm done I'll move on to my other purchase: Gears of War 2. Those are really the only two games I purchased, but I do intend on getting Dead Space as well. If I do get CoD:WaW, it will be on the PC, rather than the 360, so it probably doesn't qualify for this list ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Michael Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 A few games? that would be an understatement. I'm current working on the first Gears of War and COD:WAW. I was playing GOW on coop with my cousin (his copy) but he had to go home so I will wait for him to come over next to continue it. COD:WAW I'm working on myself altho I must admit I'm disappointed on the gamerscore setup for it. Seems most of em are solo only on Veteran difficulty. My Christmas wishlist is: Guitar Hero 2 Guitar Hero 3 Rock Band Rock Band 2 and a chatpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kushan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Damn uni is preventing me from actually playing anything :( Two major pieces of work AND a presentation are due in this week. Balls. Side Note: anyone else think Gigapixel's avatar looks like he has been, or he's about to be, bummed?

Xerxes Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Nothing on the 360, there just isn't anything that interests me that much at the moment. Been busy with Mass Effect though, awesome game can't wait for the sequel (Y) Although slightly off topic I did get Mirror's Edge (PS3) and Tomb Raider: Underworld (PC) and I absolutely love them :D :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKindred Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I would love to get Gears 2, Dead Space , Left 4 Dead, Fable 2, Fallout 3. If anything though right now my only plans are to get Fable 2 and Fallout 3 when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyehac Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Right now, I'm just sticking to GTA:IV. Maybe I'll venture into other games, but then again I have to upgrade my computer to go with my newly bought 9800GTX video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpioRGc1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Recently got Fallout 3, and I'm currently sort of revisiting Doom 3, Crysis/Crysis Warhead, and F.E.A.R. I'm wanting to get Left 4 Dead and GTA4 soon, as well as F.E.A.R. 2 when it comes out next year. I still haven't started on The Witcher yet, and have done little to Mass Effect; I'll get to both eventually. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I just bought Left 4 Dead last week, to play with a friend, and it's not new but I restarted S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and am totally addicted to that game now. I thought it was really boring the first time I played it, but I got it off steam for like 5 bucks so I couldn't complain.. If I buy a new computer shortly I'll be buying the new Prince of Persia game, I absolutely love those games. And in the future I plan to buy RE5, pretty sure that's getting a PC release.

bobbytomorow Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I can generally only play one game at a time or I tend to forget the other one and never complete it, so I complete one and move onto the next. When I need a change up I just play some multiplayer. Great choice of games there though, out of those I would say Dead Space was my favourite, its probably my pick for GOTY. It really came out of nowhere and ended up being fantastic. Think Resident Evil in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
