Re: Official "videogames I got for Xmas" thread!

Fable III, Fallout New Vegas, Halo Reach, and I bought myself Resonance of Fate. Two of those were bought by me for someone else to wrap for me, since I found the best prices.
My boy got Kirbys Epic Yarn, Bowsers Inside Story, Phineas and Ferb, and Lego Battles.
We also got the Kinect and Sports, Dance, and Your Shape for early Christmas a few weeks back.

Wireless keyboard for RB3; gift cards for Best Buy and GameStop.

I received 2 PS Move Controllers and Sports Champion, The Shoot, and the Singstar Dance pack from HouseParty.com, so I had my "party" today.

I was gifted the Reach, Red Dead, Killzone 2, and God of War collection I bought myself on Black Friday.

I was surprised by RB3 and keyboard, Mariokart wii, and Kinect + Sports and Joy Ride.

Re: Official "videogames I got for Xmas" thread!

I never get given games for presents. Folks know I've probably bought everything already. I got a Kinect for the family along with Dance Central and Kinectimals. Gave my daughter Alice in Wonderland for the DS and Santa brought her Lego Harry Potter for the DS. Gave my wife Just Dance 2 in her stocking, put my unopened copy of Gran Turismo 5 in mine.
My mom got me an Amazon gift card, which I might use for Kinect Sports. The nurse practitioner I employ knows I'm into games (I advise her 15 year old son regularly) and got me a Halo 3 Messenger bag (which is kinda cool, I guess) and some Mega Block Spartan action figure set (which I thought was a rather strange gift to give a man in his forties, but whatever).

Just a DSi to replace my son's DS Lite (which worked out amazingly after I sold the Lite on eBay for $110 and got the DSi on sale at Target for $129).

My wife completely surprised me and got me an Xbox360. I was later gifted Madden. Today I bought (with giftcards meant for games) Black Ops($40) ACB($34) and one of the UFC games ($14.99)

What a great gaming Christmas!

I was happy that most of the games I was after went on sale today. I really wanted Black Ops and ACB, and I liked the idea of UFC, but with it being under $15 I had to jump on it.

Now if I could just find a good live deal.

Ghost of Sparta is a remarkable game. You'll enjoy it.

Wii: Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns
PS3: Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, God of War III

What I really wanted was a Kinect, but I'm not complaining since all of the above were on my wishlist. At least now I know it's safe to buy one for myself.
