So for Christmas, I got some really good presents:

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts- Have been playing this one a lot the last couple days, and really like it. I really like the idea behind it. Some very fun missions so far. I haven't really done anything crazy with my vehicle designs so far, because I want to get more parts to use first, but I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with it.

de Blob- I've also been playing this one a lot. It's a nice take on the platformer genre. I'm just now getting into some of the harder levels of the game, but it's very fun so far.

Sonic Unleashed (for the Wii)- I haven't played this one as much as the others, mainly because I'm so into the others, but it is a good game from what I have played. I've mainly just played the introductory stages, which are meant to show you the basics, so I can't really say much so far.

The Dark Knight- Still haven't seen it yet, so I can't comment on it.

The X-Files: I Want To Believe- After watching the movie for a second time, I'd say the first one was better, although I still think this was very underrated by the critics, and some of its fans. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting after waiting so long, but it was an interesting story with some very good moments. I do wish that the beginning was stronger however...

Also, I got an early present from my brother, giving me points for the Xbox Live Arcade, which I used for these games:

Braid- Very interesting twist on 2D platforming, with some great puzzles that really had me stumped trying to figure out how to solve them. The time manipulation is very well used in the levels. It's just a great game that really surprised me.

Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2: I really like some of the different ideas that they had for the modes. It's great expansion for the series IMO.

I also got a few smaller items as well. Overall, not a bad year for presents at all.

Hope that everybody had a nice holiday.
