Holiday Buyer's Guide 2010

[Greg Tito]

The list is deffo more geek than gamer. Pretty good stuff but nothing I would be leaping over the moon about.

I think I was expecting top 10 games coming out in time for Christmas.

We will be posting our top five favorite games in December. Don't worry!

[Plurralbles]

None of these things are even cool. I is disappoint.

Oh, I guess ti's nto fair... you at least have the Doctor Who season...
I'm not really impressed by a Nook, getting a Kindle...
The knife is just a damn knife...
The monster vault is cool but there's no need to buy it cuz' a friend will.


i wish more people liked DnD... : (

 

[Akisa]

Meh list pure miss for me, and one item I would down right be insulted if I get. (I hate 4E!)

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I want that pizza cutter! That is too awesome for words. And I don't even like Star Trek.

 

[Megacherv]

Hmm...I hate all things Gundam SEED, and the Gundam Mk.II Titan on Hobby Link is cheaper but on backorder...curses...

 

[ultimasupersaiyan]

I like the idea of the 1/60 Strike Freedom Gundam but I'd prefer to find a 1/60 RX-78-2 Gundam. Also you can get bigger Gundams that are Jumbo Grade and there's a 30th Anniversary 1/48 scales RX-78-2 that's about 37.5cm tall. I have one of those <3 The 1/48 scale is as simple to build as the 1/144 scale but it doesn't make it any less awesome!

I haven't played it yet, but I suspect that if NBA 2K11, is anything like 2k10,2k9, 2k8 etc, then what that game amounts to is some designers sitting in a room saying "Do you know what is wrong with basketball? Too much dunking. I think we should make a game where dunking is really hard to do, and then make you grind out games, make it impossible to post up, or play low post without getting large numbers of fouls and finally force players to play a pass-first outside shooting game."

Given how unfun all of the other games in that NBA series have been, I think I will skip this one.

 

[MetaKnight19]

That knife seemed OK, but I'd rather have this one if I'm honest, even if it is hopelessly impractical.

[Luke Cartner]

Dr who on blue ray? Really is there anyone bothers with disc's for movies anymore? really?

 

[Comic Sans]

Most of that didn't concern me, but the Enterprise pizza cutter and Zod poster more than made up for the rest.

 

[Russ Pitts]

Yet somehow I can't help but feel they're making a little cash of this list. Hmmm?

I wish.

No, seriously. Anybody with a new product and some bucks burning a hole in their pocket, drop me a note. You could be in the next gift guide! Brought to you by Bassmaster (tm)
