Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I probably won't have time to get/play everything I want, plus I'm probably forgetting some major wishlist items here due to my lack of updated knowledge about release dates, but whatever:

1. Assassin's Creed II

Basically, the first game was one of the most promising AAA titles of this generation so far, and it introduced some pretty great new concepts (the story was cool and interestingly told, the environments were jaw-droppingly beautiful, and the fluidity of movement is among gaming's best)...but it fell short in execution (dull, repetitive side missions, flat-out retarded enemy A.I., stale combat, and a pretty short running time considering how often you're repeating the same actions over and over again). The sequel seems to be fixing everything that was wrong with the first game (you can swim!) and adding some cool new features as well.

2. Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of my favorite games of all time. $60 for more of that plus a multiplayer system that enhances the already near-perfect one of the last game while (hopefully) not trying to fix what isn't broken is definitely a good buy as far as I can tell. The only thing that has me a little worried is that the singler player campaign looks like it might take things a little over the top for my tastes. CoD 4's campaign was best when it was raw and visceral, dropping us into the conflict without dramatizing or glorifying it (the end of "Shock and Awe" will be talked about for many years to come, I'm sure of it), but the new game seems to be mostly eschewing that for big, flashy set-pieces. Still, I've got faith in Infinity Ward to give us a great experience.

3. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony

I've been missing out on these DLC releases, so maybe the December break is the perfect time to check 'em out. And while I'm at it, there's some Virtual Console titles I've got my eye on as well.

Hi,

From above all list of games I had like to have Halo 3, ofcourse assassin's creed 2 as these two are like the most awaited games for me and I am waiting for these games and these games are coming this christmas which I really want to have.

Thanks!!

I've noticed the Game and GameStation websites have started with their Christmas theme now.

I've seen a few people mention the Saboteur in this thread, and after looking into it I wasn't all that impressed. I don't really see what's so special about it.

Currently, my list is still standing the same as it originally was, but I'm not too sure about Fallout 3 GOYTE. I mean I liked Fallout 3, but it wasn't a game that I wanted to play after I finished it. I was hoping the DLC would spark up my interests again but I'm not so sure it will. I've been looking into Dragon age as well, but I'm not suite sure what to make of that either.

Mega Man X 2 because I have X 1 and X 3 and X4 but no X 2!

Tekken 6, Left 4 Dead 2, and Brutal Legend for me please.

And by the way, WOW that signature pic looks really cool Barrelsfox :) Wait...

Left 4 Dead 2
because i just played the demo on steam and i loved it ^^

and if i get a PS3 i want:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Tekken 6
Little Big Planet
Batman
Ratchet & Clank

is it 3 Ratchet & Clank games for the PS3? i don't know how many it is...

I'm planning on increasing my old systems' library:

1.Catlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES)

This game is badass and the best Castlevania on the NES and the fact that I don't have the game now is depressing.

2. Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)

One of the best shooters from the 2D era and this game is fuckin hard to find so a must have for me.

3. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)

I hate RPGs, but I love the Paper Mario series, and from what I hear this is sorta like them, plus it's a classic.

4. Super Metroid (SNES)

The only thing I can say about this is that it's depressing I don't have it now.

5. Battletoads/Double Dragon (SNES, NES, or Genesis)

Two of the best beat-em-ups in one game? Nuff said.

1. Left 4 Dead 2
Purely for the fact that the first was great, repetitive but fun multiplayer.
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty 4 multiplayer side keeps me into the game and the multiplayer looks fantastic in the second.
3. Assassins Creed 2
Fan of the first, maybe it was repetitive but if you have fun that doesn't matter.
4. Borderlands
Fan of the RPG genre and looking at trailers and gameplay footage of it makes me want to play it.

I can't think of a fifth one but I'm looking forward to Bioshock 2, Super Street Fighter 4 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Excluding older games I don't have that I may ask for, here's the recent/future releases I plan on asking for:
The Beatles Rock Band
Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Mario and Luigi 3

I've been really in the mood for Silent Hill lately, so I'll probably pick a couple of them up.

Aside from that though, Not many new games look particularly appealing.

Xbox 360, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Castle Crashers and two controllers.

The concept is cool but the gameplay is unimpressive. However, hopefully it'll end up like Saints Row 2 which looked so-so and turned out great.

Also, Nazi killing.

"We're doing one thing and one thing only..killin' Nazis."

Borderlands

Quite an obvious choice. It looks fun, and it has some cool features. Plus, there will likely be DLC for it too. Plus, the achievements are good - not important, but they can make the game more fun too.

Episodes from Liberty City

I don't get Microsoft Points, but I want these packs.

1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2- That one needs no explaining
2. DJ Hero- Good experimental game, looks fun
3.Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast- Because I was getting nostologic while playing the demo

Other than those I'm not really sure.

I have MW2 on pre order, and Im getting God of War Collection too...So my Xmas list is:

Borderlands (Maybe)
Demons Souls
Tekken 6
Super Street Fighter 4 (Maybe)
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (Most Likely)

And I don't know.

1. Modern Warfare 2 for PC

It just looks so awesome. I really want to play it!

2. DJ Hero

It looks kind of interesting.

3. Whatever new Guitar Hero is out

It has Vampire Weekend, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and MORE!!!

4. Street Fighter IV

Still haven't gotten that shit.

5. Tony Hawk's Ride

Weird controller and it's a tony hawk game after all.

Though, I probably won't get nearly any of these.
I MIGHT get Modern Warfare 2 before christmas, but I don't know if I'll end up getting it at all due to priorities of what I need/want more that is unrelated to video games.
I also MIGHT ask for DJ Hero, but I don't know, like I said, I have other things that are more important than video games.
Other than that, I don't really want anything that bad, I just wanted to put down 5 fun looking games.

Assassins Creed II

From all the improvements I've read about on the first one and the trailers I can't wait to get this.

Halo 3 ODST

I know it came out ages ago, but a lot of people on my friends list plays this.

Xbox 360 controller

So I can have 3 player split screen on course

That's all I can think of.

Digital Camera

Cam Corder

Materialism is the Gift that Keeps on Giving

Yes, because those are video games, aren't they.

1) Borderlands

I want it but wanted MW2 more, cant afford this now.

2) Halo: ODST

Same thing really.

3) Assassin's Creed 2

yes

4) Metroid Prime Trilogy

I've never played a Metroid game before, I think it's about time I did.

5) Operation: Flashpoint 2

Just because

Your age is showing.

Also, for Nintendo's VC:

FInal Fantasy
Sin & Punishment
Comix Zone
1080 Snowboarding
Ice Climbers

Decisions decisions. I don't know whether to get Modern Warfare 2 now, and only be able to play it at the weekends, or just wait and get it as a Christmas gift. There's nothing that I really need for Christmas (not to sound ungrateful) but my mum still asks me for suggestions anyway, so I figure why not get some video games.

I've been considering asking her if I could get a decent monitor that I could use to hook my 360 upto at uni, and I could always use it as a dual monitor for the laptop.

I've strayed off topic a little, but currently my original list still stands. Assuming I don't give into temptation and get Modern Warfare 2 at the weekend.

Well, here's mine:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Dragon Age: Origins
and maybe Assassin's Creed 2, though I haven't played the first one.

Assassins Creed 2
DJ Hero

Uncharted 2

takes part tracking Marco polos last voyage, first one had a great storyline and a great graphics engine

COD: MW2

gonna have to rent it first, bit sceptic tbh, im an old school gamer so i still have COD 4, no trophies im not bothered

FIFA 10

Getting it for Christmas for definite :D

Need For Speed: Shift

heard its a possible GT5 beater :)

I strongly reccomend you do, the Spec-Ops alone is better than anything from MW1

CoD4 was released in '07, you obviously don't know what 'old school' means.
Judging by your profile you're 11, maybe 12.

1. Fallout 3: GOTY
2. Batman Arkham Asylum
3. Way of the Samurai 3
4. Midnight Club 3
5. Maybe Demon's Souls

Maybe.

Well, I believe my mum planned on buying Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands together, since Tesco had an offer on. If you bought a top 20 game, they gave you Modern Warfare 2 for £25. Typically, when went to get the games the day after the offer ended.

I've been so tempted to buy this game now, but my brother get the PS3 copy of the game, so I get to play that every now and again.

Also,, I've been considering getting Assassins Creed 2 and Dragon Age. Didn't think I'd be buying these games, but they've sparked a little more interest than I had first imagined.

lol I love how you call him Father Christmas instead of Santa, I haven't heard that name in ages! =D
Ok I'll play along, since I plan on getting a wii for Christmas all my games will be wii related, I've got enough 360 games to last me until the apocalypse!

1. Animal crossing city folk

My main reason for wanting a wii, even though I hear it's nothing but a clone of Wild World, lets face it, It's Animal Crossing! This game will last you a lifetime anyway so it's money well spent! =D

2. Mario Kart Wii

Need I a reason? Owning a Nintendo console without mario kart is like owning a car without a drivers licence, you should be pulled over and given a drug test if you think you can last long without it!

3. Super Smash Bros Brawl

If it truely is the best fighting game on the wii then I'd be pretty stupid to buy one without trying it, besides I wanna see how sonic handles against the veterans! =D

4. Super Mario Galaxy

Nintendo is mainly known for it's platform games and Mario is the star, Im guessing this is mario's 3rd big adventure since mario 64 and super mario sunshine, so I definatly wanna try this game out.

5. Sonic and the secret rings/Black knight.

I've heard a lot of bad things as well as the good but seeign as how these are sonic games exclusive for the wii I definatly wanna try them out.

Well thats my list, I'm not into party games like 'wii sports' and 'wii sit around the fucking campfire sharing hugs or whatever', Im only really in it for the real games, and since it's backwards compatible for the gamecube, I'll have enough to keep me occupied long into next year!
