Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on December 25, 2012, 12:37:09 AM I don't think I've ever gotten a game as a Christmas present.

Final Fantasy Anthology, Chronicles, Tactics Chrono Cross King's Field (an RPG I never heard of) Silver Surfer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles This game I didn't "get" per se, but I pre-ordered Pier Solar for Genesis/Mega Drive and the guide book from WaterMelon's website.

Scribblenauts Unlimited - Wii U still waiting on secret santa Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: cverz2 on December 25, 2012, 08:38:35 PM Well between my wife, 2 kids and I. We got the following for Christmas.
[img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0499_zps6996cea1.jpg[/img] [img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0500_zpsb6c730eb.jpg[/img] [img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0501_zps14070445.jpg[/img] [img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0502_zps3ee481bd.jpg[/img] [img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0504_zps53a79bbb.jpg[/img] [img width=550 height=412]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h63/railroad1/tn_IMG_0503_zpsc97cb74a.jpg[/img] And yes those last 4 were for me........ Just Kidding. Out of all of these games, the only ones for me were Mario is Missing, Mario vs Donkey Kong, and Professor Layton. EDIT: Also forgot to take pics of a Purple 3DS, and a Black 3DS, Both for the kids of course. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on December 25, 2012, 09:00:51 PM Damn that's a lot of DS titles. Quick, get those into the database stat!
...just kidding. Hope your kids enjoy all of the handheld titles. First thing I noticed was Mario is Missing, and I knew that had to be yours. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Izret101 on December 25, 2012, 10:06:11 PM Ended up getting Sniper Elite V2 for the 360 from my bro. He managed to grab the last copy on Black Friday for me ;D
Got the book ends and inner box from/for Mortal Kombat Limited Edition. No game no artbook. Another dupe gift but it was awesome that she tried ;D and a pair of jeans and a pair of khakis Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Zagnorch on December 25, 2012, 10:36:55 PM The only things I got that came even remotely close to games was a Walgreens* 8MB SD card, and a Goodwill gift card.
I suppose I can throw the SD card into my 3DS, and use the gift card to buy second-hand games. *Yes, you read that correctly: Walgreens. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Izret101 on December 25, 2012, 10:40:13 PM I have a Walgreens SD card in our(READ: WIFES) camera for almost 2 years now.
Was cheap and have never had any issues with it :) Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Sauza12 on December 25, 2012, 11:20:57 PM I got a lot of stuff this Christmas. I got a bunch of DVDs, CDs and other stuff, but here's the game stuff I got:
[img width=640 height=480]http://i48.tinypic.com/23t14r7.jpg[/img] The list: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Diablo Battle Chest Starcraft II Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the last thing I got is probably the single coolest thing anyone has ever recieved ever: [img width=640 height=480]http://i50.tinypic.com/1zvzjo9.jpg[/img] Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: blcklblskt on December 25, 2012, 11:24:24 PM I got Persona 4: Arena (PS3) for Christmas this year. It was even the version with the soundtrack CD, so I was pretty excited about that.
Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: a_hub10 on December 26, 2012, 01:09:17 AM Added Assassin's Creed III and a Pro controller to the list. Will be taking the pro controller in to exchange for the black one though.
Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: two_scoop_steve on December 26, 2012, 01:26:49 AM Xbox 360 Controller
PS3 Controller Borderlands 2 (PS3) Twisted Metal (PS3) God of War: Origins Collection (PS3) Ico / Shadow of the Colossus Collection (PS3) Silent Hill Downpour (Xbox 360) 1 Year Xbox God Subscription Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on December 26, 2012, 01:38:25 AM I just realized that the number of PS3 owners far outweighs the number of Xbox 360 owners on our forums...
Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: techwizard on December 26, 2012, 01:40:43 AM weird, now that you mention it, it does seem that way. i rarely see people talk about 360 besides a handful of regulars, and there's always a decent amount talking about ps3.
Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: xtincthed on December 26, 2012, 05:07:22 AM an 8 MB sd card? i hope you mean GB? :p
Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Zagnorch on December 26, 2012, 05:31:53 AM I just realized that the number of PS3 owners far outweighs the number of Xbox 360 owners on our forums... Well don't look at me. I'm not helping that stat one way or another. As much as I'd like to... an 8 MB sd card? i hope you mean GB? :p HOLY CRAP it IS 8GB! Musta changed from MB to GB overnight. It's that Christmas magic, that's what it was... Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Crabmaster2000 on December 26, 2012, 05:54:49 AM Sweet TMNT Box set!!! I saw that on TV a little while ago and I got a bit depressed that I probably won't be buying it :(
Nice pick up on Persona 4 Arena too blcklblskt. Really awesome game. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: Johnny Nintendo on December 26, 2012, 10:17:20 AM The Wii U games and NES games were for me, and the Wii games were for my son. I really like Assassin's Creed, or the little bit I got to play of it. My son saw it, and now he won't let me have a turn.

Forza Horizon Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Condemned: Criminal Origins Prince of Persia (the 360 one) Pinky & The Brain: The Master Plan That last one was very rewarding since it's a UK only release and my wife found it! My son got some new games too since we bought the kids a new flat screen. We're gonna move the Wii into their room since I don't truly need it. My Wii U will play my Wii games and I still have my GabeCube. He got Epic Mickey, Pokepark 2, a monster truck game for Wii and Sonic Generations, Kingdom Hearts 3D and Deca Sports something for his 3DS. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season?

Post by: slackur on December 26, 2012, 12:06:08 PM weird, now that you mention it, it does seem that way. i rarely see people talk about 360 besides a handful of regulars, and there's always a decent amount talking about ps3. Count me in the 'prefer 360' camp, though I do enjoy many PS3 games. Sure could use a southpaw controller for it, it would help me actually play through several games I want to enjoy without nausea. ANYWAY, it was a good Christmas for our collection. :) Our Secret Santa sent: Dark Castle (Genesis) CIB John Madden '93 (Genesis) CIB Echo Jr. (Genesis) Hi Octane (Saturn) CIB Virtual Casino (Saturn) CIB My beloved bought me a Saturn import of Vampire Savior and (drumroll, please:) a Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition! Yay! I was tinkering with it all day, while our two older boys played with their new Skylanders (360 and 3DS releases.) I intend on writing up my thoughts on the NGX, as I know there are others here curious about it. Title: Re: What games did you get this holiday season?

The size looks a bit off, but I suppose that could just be the angle it was shot at. Either way, congrats! Title: Re: Re: What games did you get this holiday season? Post by: bickman2k on December 26, 2012, 03:11:57 PM It's essentially a rental case with a very nice print of the box art. I already had the game and guide and the real box was too expensive. This will help protect my copy

Paper Mario: Sticker Star New SMB 2 Dunno if this counts but I also got $25 worth of Wizard101 Crowns. It's a kid-friendly card battle MMO. Actually the battle system reminds me a lot of Baten Kaitos.
