Most the games I wanted aren’t released until next year, so I mainly received cash.
My main physical present was Sega Superstars . Unlike other Eye toy games, which feature static screens that resemble Game-and-Watch style titles, the NiGHTS and Monkey Ball Superstars games contain sizeable worlds to traverse and explore. They almost bring back memories of the pre-Sonic Adventure era of gaming, when a Sonic Team game could be counted on to deliver a play experience that was previously thought to be technically impossible. The NiGHTS title offers a genuine sense of freedom and it is a shame that navigating the stage with your arms becomes uncomfortable very quickly, as this would make for an excellent full-sized game. The other games aren’t as innovative, and a few contain some glaringly obvious design mistakes, but it’s refreshing to play a Sonic Team title that isn’t completely mediocre.

I deliberately didn't ask for any video games this year since I can get them so cheaply at work, but now I sort of wish I'd asked for just one or two, since I haven't got my electric guitar yet and I'm just kind of sitting here with some new t-shirts and chocolate bars.Esrever wrote:I can't help but notice that some of you people have recieved hundreds of dollars worth of video games for Christmas. That's crazy, crazy I tell you!

It could be worse. You could have one of those Esteban guitars that sound and look like the 3 Stooges slid it down a steep gravel driveway.Popcorn wrote:I deliberately didn't ask for any video games this year since I can get them so cheaply at work, but now I sort of wish I'd asked for just one or two, since I haven't got my electric guitar yet and I'm just kind of sitting here with some new t-shirts and chocolate bars.Esrever wrote:I can't help but notice that some of you people have recieved hundreds of dollars worth of video games for Christmas.

Guuuh... HAL JORDAN!!!
(I won't get into the discussion of who flirts and who doesn't... way too disturbing)
*A "Green Lantern: Rebirth" issue
*Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (GC version. Good game, but full'o glitches)
*Some stylish hat (you know, like the ones ice surfers use)
*A necklace with a gothic skeleton on it. (I'm never going to wear that crap)
*A Magentix X-Treme: Triangles set. (And I dunno why, really)
So, it was a pretty normal christamas, I guess.

OK, so I've decided the Paper Mario 2 is the best game for Gamecube ever. Still sore from my boss-looking, but broken, CD audio system (the disappointment) but fuck it, I'll return it tomorrow. So yeah, Paper Mario 2. It's great. If you don't have it you suck.
And I never said I was uncomfortable. ;)
