Xmas gaming - What's on your menu?

[nickgodfrey]

Think I'm going to go Wii-centric this Xmas:
1. Donkey Kong Country Returns
2. Kirby's Epic Yarn
3. Sonic Colours
4. Super Mario Bros. All-Stars
5. Goldeneye
6. Monster Hunter Tri
7. Animal Crossing

Plus, I recently had a week off from work and started Fable II; so that.

Going to get Time Crisis and Vanquish. Might get the daughter Singstar Dance so will have a fiddle with that too.

Fallout Vegas for me. Hopefully the patch will be out so no problems for me. I waited 2 months till i played Fallout and only played oblivion after i finished F3.

Prompted by the reminder that the Demons Souls US servers are due to go offline in March (No idea when NB will do the same for the EU servers?) I'm going to make a concerted effort to at least start it at some point this year. I'll officially make it my Christmas game, even though the definition of a Christmas game for me is one that I hardly get to touch. :'(

[MattyHustedUk]

will be vanquish and possibly a few move games and most definatly Black ops as im loving the online

[teddymeow]

Not a lot as I'll be working all of it! You guys are so lucky to get some time off.

I think my Christmas gaming will likely be COD, Rock Band 3 and I'm planning to play Christmas Nights, which I bought a few months ago in preperation. Other than that I will see....

[SmokeMeAKipper]

I'm saving Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and GT5 for Xmas. Just picked up COD Black Ops and Super Paper Mario on Wii, plus I have FallOut New Vegas sitting there so should be plenty to keep me going until then.

All about Wii for me this Chrimbo - theres been so much released and i've only been able to get through Other M.

So its:

- Goldeneye 007
- Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Sonic Colours
- Kirby Epic Yarn
- Epic Mickey
- Donkey Kong Country Returns

[MrKirov]

Fable 3 is sat on my shelf until chrimbo...cant think of anything else, just what is cheap in the sales!

[Julio III]

I've been waiting to buy/start Super Mario Galaxy 2 at Christmastime.
Thanks for reminding me that I now own Christmas Nights so should give that a go.
Am tempted to save Sonic Colours for Xmas too but that'll get in the way of Mario Galaxy, so I'll probably get it sooner.

I played a huge amount of Ridge Racer Type 4 around Christmas back when it was released and have associated it with the holiday ever since.

I would say there's many perfect Christmas games but in the end it's a bit more personal to you. Whether it was because Shenmue is set over Christmas and was released in December in the UK, GoldenEye because you always wanted it for Christmas, Tomb Raider because you got it for Christmas or Ridge Type 4 due to its relaxed atmosphere and setting, every game will resonate differently.

I can imagine I'll fire up Type 4 and re-complete it on my newly acquired PS3, but I'm struggling to think of a great new Christmas game for myself this year.
