Poll: So many games!

[seamusotorain]

I worked in a game shop in the run up to Christmas. I got a 10% discount. As well as a lot of free gubbins, I ended up with *deep breath*
Mario Kart (Wii), Orange Box, Burnout Paradise, Lips, Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero: World Tour, C.O.D. 5, Gears 2, Fallout 3, Fable 2, FaceBreaker, Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (all X360), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorny and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time(DS).

In my defence, they weren't all for me (5 little brothers!). Anyone else out there either swimming in disposable income or have rich, stupid parents?

 

[Danny Ocean]

Fallout and Left 4 Dead.

Getting Mirror's edge, Empire: Total war, and CoD5 no the 18th. My presents get split between my Birthday and Christmas.

It's a hard, hard life.

Why did they buy you Guitar Hero 3 and then Guitar Hero: World Tour?

 

[Dr. Crowbar]

Guitar Hero: World Tour, Portal, Bioshock, Team Fortress 2, Football Manager 2009. I have a couple of little brothers too.. Portal, Bioshock and FM 2009 were for me.

 

[rossatdi]

Gears 2. Mum had a £50 HMV voucher she didn't really want to use all of so I got it for £12. Not technically a present but oorah!

More songs. Got the Solo Guitar World Tour pack, and bought Guitar Hero 3 preowned.

Haven't bought many games of late... trying to write a paper... currently procrastinating! Once finished I'll lock myself in a room and complete Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, SO looking forward to it.

Hah, I'm not rich my any measure... but I still buy games. I tend to keep them behind my desk so everyday I'm reminded by the amount of cash I've thrown at games. On the one hand I feel quite proud, on the other I think of all the women I could of taken out to dinner.

The sacrifices one makes for their hobby eh?

 

[PureChaos]

i didn't get any, probably because there aren't any i want

 

[RAWKSTAR]

I had two,
Fallout 3 and Valkyria Chronicles.

I dont see the point in getting loads at one time where as I could complete these two then buy another game when they drop in price a bit.

Aye, the discount took care of that worry for me

I thought 2008 was an excellent vintage, from an Xbox perspective anyway. Not one teensy-weensy little game? Poor fecker...

 

[mokes310]

0, but then again, I didn't ask for any since I'm happy with what I have already. I would like to play Fallout 3, but I can wait.

 

[Abedeus]

Bioshock. X-Men Legends 2. City of Heroes and City of Villains combined edition.

Would buy Psychonauts or Stalker, but I'm not going to waste my cash on overpriced Steam.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

This was a poor year for me (in gaming). I got 3 games, as opposed to last year when I got 8! It's just that there were not many titles that I found appealing this year...

 

[InvisibleMilk]

I, uh, got...uhm...a JRPG. The Last Remnant. Not a big fan of jrpg's, too damn confusing.

 

[10BIT]

I bought for myself 42 games over the Christmas period. ;>.>
These are all all games I know I'll enjoy and paid in total less than £60 for, but looking at the pile of games I've yet to start (Baldur's Gate 1&2 with expansions, Neverwinter Nights with expantions, KOTOR, Fallout 1&2, Elder Scrolls 1-4, etc.) it will be a long time before I get a chance to play them.

Lost Odyssey for the Xbox 360 has 4 discs. 'Nuff said. At least in Fable 2 you can fart at people, and you can choose wheher or not to have ridiculous hair./

Fable 2 was great fun but it stopped working 4 days after i played it. my xbox put scratches in it.

I wasn't given any, but then my parents have no clue what games I will or will not like, so they go with the safer option of books and socks. Also I have a large disposable income, and buy whatever game I can be bothered going and picking up (incedently, I own very few games and have a large sum of "game" money sitting ony my desk).

 

[neoman10]

GHWT thats it and im damn happy for it
