We all know this holiday season is packed full of huge games. here is my list of games that i need to have this holliday. let me know what you think of my choices and send along any suggestions you have. keep in mind i have a 360, wii, and pc. enjoy!

for xbox 360

• Halo 3- a must have just to see if the hype is true
• assassin's creed-one of my most anticipated games. the my favorite game at E3
• mass effect-i missed out on KOTOR in the xbox generation. now i will experience it
• skate or tony hawk PG-i cant decide which. i have always played TH, but skate intruiges me. any personal experiences to help me decide? the reviews haven't swayed me yet.

for wii

• MP3: Corruption- another title i missed last generation since i only had a ps2. i will get it now.
• Super Mario Galaxy-who doesnt like mario? this and MP3 will make me use my wii again

for pc

• Unreal Tournament 3- hopefully this will take me away from CSS for a while, especially with what will surely be an engrossing single player campaign. (sarcasm)
• Crysis- while my rig wont run this to its fullest potential, it will still look great, and all indications are the gameplay is great

undecided platform

• bioshock-a must buy for everyone this season, but pc or 360? any opinions? i it will look about the same on both for me.
• Call of Duty 4-again it will look about the same. but ive always been a mouse+kb person for FPS. decisions, decisions.
• Orange Box-i've played the entire half life series up until now on pc, but since i have to buy the same games again in the package deal, why not get it for a new platform (360)? can anyone say how HL:EP2 has handled on 360 for them?

Undecided Buys

• world in conflict-reviews are great. looks great. but RTS's just kinda bog me down. i didnt enjoy company of heroes much, and i think this will be very similar. i havent moved past Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. but then who could after such perfection?
• fifa 08-i will get a next-gen fifa one day. but is this the year?
• tiger woods 08-loved tiger woods 04 for ps2. none of the new ones have made major enough strides since then. but i hear this ones good so it may be my first next gen tiger as well
• Quake Wars-i downloaded and played the demo. it was good but not overwhelming. with TF2, UT3 and CSS i dont really know if i need this game to consume more of my life.

well thats all the games i plan to buy or that i am thinking of buying for the rest of this year. i realize some of them are already released but i have been saving cash for the christmas rush. thanks for reading, and please give advice on the games about which i am undecided!!!

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

the reason voldemort died seems to be that the elder wand backfired on him, killing him because it would not attack harry, who was its true master. but if the elder wand would not attack harry then how did he die in the circle of trees? and you cant say he didnt die, because if he had not died then voldemort would not have been able to die, since harry's death was a prerequisite for that event. this means that the elder wand must have killed harry back in the circle (assuming he was using the elder wand). if that is so then why could it not attack him later when it backfired and killed voldemort?

this makes no sense to me. if i think of other things that dont make any sense i will add them. if anybody else comes up with any incongruities within the story please list them

i was on a flight home from a lovely vacation in the netherlands, and on said flight i was subjected to ice age 2. this is possibly the worst movie ever created by man. i was in the first row of seats in a cheap plane, so it only had this movie showing. i was forced to watch the most idiotic childs movie ever created by man woman or machine. i was close to ending it all at one point.

this franchise while previously moderate in quality has suddenly dropped to the very lowest possible rating in the galaxy. the point is, if you can, avoid ice age 2 like the plauge, except worse....much worse.
