GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Dec 29, 2008
Well I hope everyone had a safe and blessed Christmas this year. And here's to the same for New Year's for you all. Thought I'd blog a little about my family's Christmas. We've had a great time together and I'll be off work until the 5th of January while my wife goes back on Monday but then will be off the 31st - the 5th, and my son will return to school on the 5th. Well I got several great gifts but even better my son (who's B-day is on the 22nd of December) got ALOT of very cool stuff. Here's the breakdown of everything he got including what he already spent his money on this morning:

360 Games:

Rock Band 2 (got the game disc from us, the drums from my parents, and bought the mic with his money)

Lost Planet Colonies Edition

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

Infinite Undiscovery

The Last Remnant

Project Sylpheed

Ninja Gaiden II

PS3 Game:

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

Blu-Ray Movies:

I AM Legend

Transformers

DVD Movies:

Tremors Attack Pack (all four Tremors movies)

So he won't be bored anytime soon .

As for me I got the Blu-rays mentioned in my previous blog plus Batman Begins on Blu-ray.

I got Far Cry 2 and Prince of Persia CE for the 360.

I also won one fantasy football league and finished 2nd in the other for a grand total winnings of $320.

So I went to GameStop and bought a used PS2 for $49.99 then I got DRE (disc read errors) on it and took it back and just went ahead and bought a new slim silver model.

I had a PS2 a few years ago and sold it and have regretted it to an extent especially since there were several great games I never got around to playing. My PS3 isn't
backwards compatible so I decided to get another PS2.

Here's the list of games I bought for it:

Final Fantasy XII

Final Fantasy X

Final Fantasy X-2

Psychonauts

Star Ocean: 'Til the End of Time

God of War

Resident Evil Essentials (RE 4, RE: Code Veronica X, and RE: Outbreak)

So I'll have plenty of fun while I'm off catching up on some great games many others have already experienced. And any suggestions for games for my PS2 (particularly RPG and Survival Horror since I really started getting into those genres after parting with my first PS2) would be appreciated.

On a side note God of War is absolutely everything I'd heard it was. Great game!
Have a safe and happy New Year my friends! And since my Packers were long ago eliminated from the playoffs GO TITANS!

Dimtri: Thanks
Rocker: Thanks, I really like RB2 too. My son and I have had a blast together on it (him on drums and me on vocals) and he plays with friends online. RE 4 is great and so is God of War. I'm sure I'll like Code Veronica X and Outbreak when I get to 'em.
WalkingP: Thanks, a Happy New Year to you and your family too.

Sweet, man. Well, I gotta say: your son has some good tastes. Now I can say he takes after his father. lol. I probably won't be getting any games until next year: Skate 2, RE5, Killzone II, etc...Anyways, Merry Christmas (late, I know) and Happy New Years.

DethSkematic: Thanks man. Yeah I have to say my son's got pretty good taste in games which I guess he got from me 'cause he definitely didn't get it from his mom, lol. Bad thing is he's probably better than me at most of them lol. Yeah I think RE5 will be my next purchase and Killzone 2 is definitely high on my list as well, ya' got great taste in games yourself man. Well have a safe and fun New Years my friend.
